GAME PREVIEW: NORTH CAROLINA provisational guy. He's a guy who can make things happen with his running ability when pass protection breaks down. "He has decent accuracy on the me‑ dium throws. Some of his numbers the last game were misleading in that he had thrown a 41‑yard touchdown pass. It was a five‑yard pass and the receiver did the rest." Williams' top target is sophomore wide receiver Ryan Switzer, one of the nation's most dynamic playmakers. In 2013, he tied an NCAA record with five punts returned for touchdowns while adding three through the air. This season, he has yet to score on a punt return, but through four games he led North Carolina in receptions (19), and had 202 receiving yards and one touchdown grab. "He's more of [someone] you don't want to give space. He's not big by any means," Carter said. "He's 5‑9, 175 pounds, so he's a short guy out there who doesn't have a lot of size Sophomore wide receiver Ryan Switzer tied an NCAA record by notching five punt return touchdowns in 2013, and was the team's leading pass catcher with 19 receptions for 202 yards and a score through four games this fall.
