Backup quarterbacks will be on the front line in Chapel Hill

Posted Oct 4, 2008
Butch Davis was talking about his own player, quarterback Cam Sexton, who came off the bench and helped rally the Tar Heels to a 28-24 road victory over Miami last Saturday. ”When Cam came in and drove us right down the field, not only did you see his confidence grow, but the rest of the team, too.” Sound familiar? He could just as easily been talking about UConn quarterback Zach Frazer, who provided a similar boost during the Huskies' 26-21 victory over Louisville a day earlier. (The Day)
