After seeing junior transfer Joe Dailey throw six interceptions in those two games, North Carolina promoted Cam Sexton, a redshirt freshman, to start against Furman. Sexton - who made his playing debut in relief of Dailey against Virginia Tech the week before - responded by throwing for 265 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter of a 45-42 win.
