UNC defense flexes while offense rolls

Posted Sep 6, 2009
UNC safety Deunta Williams had a dream the other night that he would have three interceptions against The Citadel in Saturday's season opener. The junior's dream almost came true. Williams came up with two interceptions -- and would have had a third if he could have gotten his feet down inbounds -- to highlight UNC's defensive performance as it stifled The Citadel 40-6 in front of 58,500 at Kenan Stadium.
