Like UConn, Heels rely on backup QB

Posted Oct 2, 2008
Lest the UConn football team feel like the only team that has been forced to turn to a backup quarterback, here comes the University of North Carolina. The Tar Heels, like the Huskies, appear rather confident that their No. 2 can carry on the hot start that their first-stringer helped lead. Cameron Sexton, a one-time starter who had been somewhat buried on the depth chart, led Carolina from 14 points down to beat Miami 28-24 last week. (Connecticut Post)
