Cam Sexton earns another shot to shine with Tar Heels

Posted Sep 30, 2008
During the final moments of Saturday's victory at Miami, Sexton, who got under center after an injury to T.J. Yates and a shaky showing from Mike Paulus, found himself in far different place. He had engineered the Tar Heels' stirring comeback, taken hold of the starting job and reversed many opinions. "I just feel like that point, I felt like I had arrived at what I'd dreamed about,'' Sexton said. (Burlington Times News)
