Explosive start against Duke has UNC set up for fantastic finish

Posted Nov 8, 2015
UNC ran 80 plays Saturday against Duke. None of them had more of an impact than the very first one. The most telling reaction to the flea-flicker that resulted in an 89-yard touchdown pass from Marquise Williams to Ryan Switzer, however, came from an unidentified Blue Devils defender. “I heard one of their guys tell Switzer ‘this is going to be a long day,” Williams said. Was it ever. (Wilmington Star News)
