North Carolina, Marquise Williams shake off slow start to rout Wake Forest

After a slow start, North Carolina kicked it in gear and rolled in-state counterpart Wake Forest, 50-14.

What the win means for North Carolina: The Tar Heels are still undefeated in the ACC and control their own destiny in the Coastal Division. There were off-field headlines surrounding the program late this week with two arrests, but UNC was able to take care of business against Wake Forest. Quarterback Marquise Williams had another lapse in performance, throwing two interceptions early, but he regrouped and played very well afterward. He won’t be able to afford the mistakes against better competition, however.
