Sexton steps it up
Posted Sep 28, 2008
By engineering a game-winning 56-yard touchdown drive and leading the Tar Heels to a come-from-behind, 28-24 victory Saturday, Cameron Sexton, who had become an afterthought in Carolina's quarterback rotation became the team's savior. And its new starter, as well. After replacing redshirt freshman Mike Paulus to begin Carolina's third series of the game, Sexton completed 11 of his 19 passes and amassed 242 yards, and his two fourth-quarter touchdown passes.
