Quarterback battle is still a dead heat

Posted Aug 15, 2006

Don't look for North Carolina to name a starting quarterback any time soon. UNC coach John Bunting said after Monday morning's practice that Nebraska transfer Joe Dailey and redshirt freshman Cam Sexton remain in a dead heat for the starting job. "I thought it would go all the way through camp, and I still think the same way," Bunting said. Bunting said Sexton was a more capable downfield passer and that Dailey was a better runner.
