Posted Sep 28, 2008
After North Carolina rode his cathartic afternoon to a 28-24 victory over Miami on Saturday, Cameron Sexton spoke with a conviction that belied his place on the Tar Heels' depth chart for the past two seasons. "I've always dreamed that this was going to happen," Sexton said after finishing with 242 yards passing and two touchdowns against the Hurricanes, including the game-winner with 46 seconds remaining.
