Sexton vs. Dailey for Heels starter
Posted Aug 7, 2006
Cameron Sexton and Joe Dailey have plenty in common as they compete to be UNC's starting quarterback this season. Both right-handers stand 6-1 and have enough mobility to create plays outside the pocket. Both are eager to return to the field after not playing a down in 2005, with Sexton redshirting because of his injury and Dailey sitting out due to NCAA transfer rules. And although both want to win the job outright, they say they're comfortable with the possibility of sharing the job if neither can gain separation from the other during training camp.
