Extra Points: Springtime Football Diversion

Posted Mar 29, 2009
Among the many projects of March has been developing Mike Paulus's skills now that he is solidly the No. 2 quarterback behind two-year starter T.J. Yates. Cam Sexton, who started six games last year in Yates' injury absence, plans to graduate and transfer to Catawba College. Paulus had a good day Saturday, hitting 12 of 15 passes for 51 yards. "Mike is infinitely better now than he was last year," Butch Davis says. (Tar Heel Blue)
