Tar Heels still tossing QBs around

Posted Aug 17, 2006

North Carolina coach John Bunting will meet with offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti after this weekend to discuss whether a change needs to be made in the Tar Heels' quarterback rotation. Sexton was the more impressive of the two quarterbacks during the brief portion of 11-on-11 practice time open to the media Wednesday. He hit Hakeem Nicks and Jesse Holley in stride on consecutive deep balls down the sideline to Sexton's left. (Charlotte Observer)
