In part two, Williams discusses the bowl selection process and the on-the-rise Cavalier football program, as the ’Hoos prepare the face the University of South Carolina Dec. 29 in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In part three, Williams talks about her move to Charlottesville and how much she enjoys getting a behind-the-scenes look at the success of the Cavalier men’s basketball program.
