Butch Davis' Quarterback change scrambles Heels' vibe
Posted Nov 24, 2008
It may not have made all that much difference in the long run, but North Carolina football coach Butch Davis started the wrong quarterback on Saturday in Kenan Stadium against N.C. State. Davis, on Wednesday, elected to go with T.J. Yates over Cameron Sexton. That miscalculation contributed quickly and directly to a stunning 41-10 Wolfpack upset win. Carolina may have played its way out of Atlanta and into who-knows-where.
