Deunta Williams now is glad he made move to 'dark side'

Posted Oct 11, 2007

Deunta Williams could have been a big-play wide receiver in Steve Spurrier's offense at South Carolina. But Williams chose to attend North Carolina instead, and now he finds himself on defense as UNC's starting free safety. In an interesting twist, his job this week is to stop Spurrier's wide receivers from making big plays when the No. 7 Gamecocks (5-1) visit the Tar Heels (2-4) on Saturday (3:30 p.m., ABC).
