Cam Sexton's Redemption

Posted Oct 2, 2008
Cam Sexton thought his days of meaningful playing time at UNC had come to an end last season, when he was beaten out for the starting quarterback job by redshirt freshman T.J. Yates. So when opportunity knocked--in the form of Yates' ankle injury against Virginia Tech--Sexton scrambled to open the door. Third on the depth chart just a couple weeks ago, Sexton came off the bench to lead North Carolina to a stirring 28-24 victory over Miami. (Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star)
