Mike Paulus vows to be ready, if needed

Posted Aug 16, 2009
While his older brother attempts to pull off the second chance of all second chances at Syracuse, Mike Paulus has been working on his own. North Carolina's backup quarterback reported to training camp bigger, stronger and intent on proving he's better than he showed in a brief, ill-fated audition as T.J. Yates' replacement in 2008. "One thing I learned last year, is you never know when it's going to be your turn," Paulus said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
