Paulus, Sexton in competition for backup QB
Posted Aug 8, 2008
Disgruntled might be too strong a word. Frustrated is not. So Mike Paulus is frustrated. Frustrated that North Carolina didn't open up the quarterback spot for competition this training camp. It seemed like a foregone conclusion after Yates set all kinds of UNC passing records for a freshman quarterback last season, but Paulus found the fact he didn't even get a chance at the starting position, well, frustrating.
