Football is a game of inches, they say.
And on Wednesday's Signing Day, the Oregon Ducks football program was reminded the world of college football recruiting also often comes down to the narrowest of margins.
Down to a final two of Oregon and USC, elite four-star wide receiver Devon Williams announced his commitment to the Trojans over the Ducks on ESPN2 in a decision that went against many experts' picks.
Was the battle close? Were experts dead wrong?
Well, as it turns out, the 6-foot-5, 191-pound pass-catcher himself thought he was headed to Eugene.
Williams had artwork made to announce his Oregon commitment and joined the Oregon recruiting class group chat before a late change-of-heart.
