As playing fields beckon, issues loom

Posted Jul 31, 2006

Nebraska transfer Joe Dailey and redshirt freshman Cam Sexton enter camp in a "dead heat," coach John Bunting said, and if they stay that way, he won't rule out playing them both this season. If there is any difference, it is in experience. Dailey, a junior, started 11 games for the Cornhuskers in 2004 and passed for 2,025 yards and 17 touchdowns. But both QBs sat out last season -- Dailey because of NCAA transfer rules, Sexton because of a broken ankle. (Raleigh News & Observer)
