After returning from a four-game NCAA suspension against Clemson on Saturday, UNC safety Deunta Williams apologized to the University and fans for putting himself in the position to have to sit out. Then he thanked the NCAA for making him so eager to play. "It really was [frustrating] the first week, but they've [the NCAA] got a job to do,'' Williams said. "I feel like them making me sit those four games made me really hungry." (Charlotte Observer)
