Cignetti's decision: Who will play quarterback?

Posted Aug 11, 2006

We will learn a little about first-year UNC offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti when he makes the decision on who will get the starting nod at quarterback for the Tar Heels: Joe Dailey or Cam Sexton. Most coaches would prefer to have a single starting quarterback. There is a rhythm and flow to the game that is difficult to grasp playing every couple of series. Rotating can break the mental process as well as the physical. At the same time, playing two QBs can work. (Tar Heel Daily)
