Dailey seeks new start at North Carolina

Posted Aug 6, 2006

Everything mounted for Joe Dailey at Nebraska - the interceptions, the losses and, worst of all, the pressure. So, he did what mobile quarterbacks do best. He escaped. After fleeing the Cornhusker State for Tobacco Road, Dailey is embracing a fresh start and the competition for the starting job at North Carolina. "I've got two years to redeem myself," Dailey said Saturday during the team's media day. "I guess I'm out to dispel all rumors." (Charlotte Observer)
