Heels' defense seals the win
Posted Nov 22, 2009
In retrospect, UNC safety Deunta Williams said Saturday, he probably should have asked coach Butch Davis if he could play tailback, "just so I could finally get in the end zone." On his 21st birthday, he earned it. The junior's third interception against Boston College -- which he left a half-yard shy of the goal line on his 39-yard return -- sealed another extraordinary defense effort, and secured UNC's fourth straight victory, 31-13.
