The North Carolina-Nebraska Quarterback Connection

It seems that UNC quarterback Joe Dailey is not the only North Carolina quarterback with Nebraska ties. The state of North Carolina has quite a unique connection when it comes to quarterbacks and the Cornhusker state. Joe Dailey transferred from Nebraska to UNC and is currently battling for the starting quarterback job. Curt Dukes left the Huskers to join the Duke Blue Devils, and Harrison Beck recently departed Lincoln in search of greener pastures at NC State. Ironically, the quarterback that Beck had trouble unseating at Nebraska was none other than former Wake Forest quarterback Zac Taylor.

Speaking of quarterback battles, it appears that Dailey is neck-and-neck with redshirt freshman Cameron Sexton to be the starter. Dailey will probably get the nod on opening day against Rutgers due to his experience, but don't be surprised if Sexton takes over by mid-season. Sexton has a stronger arm, and Dailey had a history of poor decision-making during his time at Nebraska, so it remains to be seen whether this has improved under a new offensive system.
