UNC flea-flicker a long-awaited move driven by TD-thirst, not trolling

Posted Nov 8, 2015
Senior quarterback Marquise Williams found out Thursday that North Carolina's coaches - again, for the second straight week - wanted to run a flea-flicker on the Tar Heels' first play. When Williams went to bed the night before UNC's 66-31 demolition of Duke, he asked for divine assistance. "I prayed before I went to sleep hoping this play was the first play," he said.
