The spotlight was on Williams not just because he played quarterback, but because he is black. Williams, who took Tampa Bay to the playoffs three out of the five years he played for the Bucs, was told to go take a hike when it was time to renew his contract. Williams, who was grossly underpaid at $150,000, asked for a raise to $800,000, which was comparable to what other starting quarterbacks were making. Tampa Bay said no way, and Williams wound up signing with the Oklahoma Outlaws of the United States Football League. He signed with the Outlaws for about $600,000, which was TarnInside Stuff Mf Lsie By DICK DEVENZIO Syndicated Columnist Clemson will be lucky to win two ACC games this year, Virginia will surprise people again, and I have no desire to say anything about Maryland - I'll let Lefty Driesell speak for . himself. Rounding out my ACC previews, as the season begins, I don't think there is too much to say about Clemson. The Tigers lost to Marathon Oil, a team N.C. State beat by 40. So, for Clemson, the task for new Coach Cliff EUis is to try to keep things fun and upbeat as he sthvggle*' through the year and tries to get some recruits he can win with in the future. At Virginia, things are different. The Cavaliers are coming off a Final Four appearance, and they have a good starting lineup, featuring seniors Jim Miller and yi Tim Mullen, proven sophomores Tom Sheehey and Olden Polynice, and freshman point guard John Johnson. That'? a talented lineup with plenty of experience and pretty fair speed and size. They won't be easy to beat at home. Terry Holland claims the Cavaliers have a lot of question marks and, of course, he will Genuine suede. ^ jSBBRkK Children Light with c PkfrPay Women's &giria' pantybam...4 j Women's leather tri-compartrfwn Gift boxed calculator wallet..$10 Shop th< 1.

The bitter contract talks with the Bucs had frustrated him, and he decided that Tampa Bay was no lonser in his future. Recently, this column contacted Williams at his home in Baker, La., to ask him if he had any regrets about the move, and to inquire about his reaction to the resignation of Tampa Bay Coach John McKay. It is clear that Williams feels little compassion for McKay. "1 can't tell you 1 am sitting here wth tears in my eyes," Williams said when told of McKay's resignation. "1 always felt that if Coach McKay had gone in to (owner Hugh) Culverhouse and said, 'Doug deserves it,' then my contract wouldn't have been any problem. Coach McKay and 1 were supposed to have been real tight, but it didn't work out that way." Tampa Bay has not been to the playoffs since Williams departed. n h r u&uu u need to get some consistent bench help. But, generally, this is a tough team which should win most of its ACQ home games. I have a special respect for Terry Holland. I got to know him when he was recruiting me a long time ago for Davidson College. Several years ago, I wrote an article criticizing him for permitting slowdown games when he had Ralph Sampson and was in a position to force the action. We corresponded and talked at that time -- we never did agree - but we have remained friends despite the philosophical differences.
