QB Joe Daily, who sat out last season after transferring from Nebraska, where he threw for 2,025 yards, 17 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in 2004, is currently listed as the starting quarteback for the UNC Tar Heels entering the 2006 season. However, he may be pushed by redshirt freshman Cam Sexton. Dailey is a 6-1, 205 pound junior; not sure about the numbers on Sexton. Which would you rather see starting at QB, North Carolina football fans?

According to the AP, "Quarterback Joe Dailey, a Nebraska transfer, was 24-of-36 for 234 yards in his first start for the Tar Heels, but was intercepted twice. One of those came in the final 2 minutes on a third-down pass after the team had reached the Rutgers 29... Dailey, though, did score North Carolina's first touchdown when his 4-yard bootleg run on the first play of the second quarter made it 7-7." How will Daily fair in this weekend's game against Virginia Tech?

I'd stick with Dailey, though Tech is gonna kill them...

Right now I have to say play both, for the running gme play J.D., but I think the C.S. is the way to go down the road. Today in the V-Tech game it didn't seem like they were ready, This new Off. doesn't look that great. It is time to play 3 to 4 wr and open the field up.

From the AP after this weekends past game: "Dailey was 10-of-17 for 55 yards and was intercepted twice for the Tar Heels (0-2, 0-1). His backup, redshirt freshman Cam Sexton, was 9-of-21 for 120 yards and was picked off twice, including the fourth-quarter interception Hill returned for a score. The Tar Heels have eight turnovers in two games."


Well, if anything, they were equally bad against VaTech. But I don't see why Sexton should start over Dailey.

So has there been any official talk about benching Dailey? Or all we all just speculating here?

Yes, it's official. See here:
Tar Heels QB Cam Sexton

Wow... I guess maybe Coach Bunting wants to see if the kid can spark the offense, but it seems risky to me.

[gatarheel]

Well they both need time, but Cam is young but he is the person that will help us win, SO I am all for trying to spark the Off and see what happens. I mean all he can do is loose, Oh i'm sorry we are are 0-2.
