North Carolina Tar Heels DB Deunta Williams suffered a grisly leg injury in the first quarter of tonight’s Music City Bowl. He needed to be carted off with a soft cast on his right leg, and appears to have broken … well, something. He sat up in the cart on his way out, though he appeared to be in significant pain.
Music City Bowl, Tennessee Vs. North Carolina: Deunta Williams Injury, Tyler Bray TD In Bad Turn For Heels
The loss of Williams hurt the Heels immediately, as Tennessee Volunteers QB Tyler Bray found a very wide open Gerald Jones for a 29-yard touchdown shortly after. Williams has been projected as a first- or second-round NFL Draft talent. You could put together a bowl-winning team with all the talent these two teams have lost this season, and Williams is among the biggest losses.
UNC gets the ball back having outgained the Vols thus far, with just a few seconds left in the first quarter. Bray has thrown for 60 yards on 12 attempts, while Carolina QB T.J. Yates has just one incompletion in six attempts.
