PINEHURST, N.C. — Marquise Williams wasn’t old enough to make the drive from Charlotte to Clemson for his first Death Valley experience.
Williams, a Charlotte native who’s entering his senior year at UNC, was in Memorial Stadium with his dad for Miami’s 36-30 triple overtime win over Clemson in 2005.
“It was so loud in there. Me and my dad, we couldn’t talk, so I was like, man, this would be a great stadium to play in,” Williams said. “To get that opportunity to play in that stadium, it was loud. I had chills. I didn’t know what to do.
