Nicks likely out for UNC

Posted Oct 9, 2006

Freshman receiver Hakeem Nicks probably won't play Saturday against South Florida after suffering a high ankle sprain in loss at Miami. Though Nicks is doubtful, the Tar Heels are confident quarterback Cam Sexton is well enough to lead them in search of their first victory over a Division I-A opponent. A mild concussion forced Sexton out in the fourth quarter against the Hurricanes. (Greensboro News & Record)
