UNC waits to pick a QB

Posted Aug 25, 2006

John Bunting and his offensive coordinator, Frank Cignetti, have a dilemma. The Tar Heels open the season in eight days, and they still don't know who their starting quarterback will be. It's a great problem to have, Cignetti said, even if it means Carolina will platoon its quarterbacks next Saturday against Rutgers. The coaches say they're comfortable with junior Joe Dailey or redshirt freshman Cam Sexton as the starter and aren't ready to decide between the two. (Greensboro News & Record)
