Two Marquise Williams interceptions ended Carolina’s first two drives Saturday night against Wake Forest. It was an auspicious start for the Tar Heel offense, and a disappointing beginning for Williams, who’d earned ACC Offensive Back of the Week honors for his performance in Carolina’s last game, at Georgia Tech.
But right there to pick up Williams was junior wide receiver Mack Hollins, who expressed confidence in his friend. “He came to me, and he said, ‘This is about to be a touchdown. I promise you that,’” Williams relayed after the game. And it was.
