2007 ACC Football Preview: North Carolina

Posted Jul 19, 2007

It doesn’t matter who the coach guiding this team is if the quarterback play continues to be awful as it was last year. Sophomore Cameron Sexton couldn’t have been much worse a season ago and if he doesn’t get drastically better very quickly, the Tar Heels’ hopes for a better season are doomed. Redshirt freshman T.J. Yates had a very good spring and could challenge. But most fans will be looking to freshman Mike Paulus, as possibly the savior of the program. (CU Tigers)
