Marquise Williams presents formidable opening-night foe for South Carolina

Posted Jun 14, 2015
Heading into the season opener in Charlotte, there’s one big difference between the two teams — the Tar Heels have a senior quarterback capable of carrying his ball club, while the Gamecocks will likely start a new signal-caller with six career pass attempts to his name. It certainly aids UNC’s cause that it has a quarterback in Marquise Williams who threw for 3,000 yards and 21 scores a season ago. (Charleston Post and Courier)
