Backups Move to the Forefront
Posted Oct 17, 2008
Neither Virginia quarterback Marc Verica nor North Carolina counterpart Cameron Sexton was supposed to start Saturday's meeting between the Cavaliers and No. 18 Tar Heels. Both were buried on their respective depth charts when the season opened, yet both had inner confidence that their chances would arrive. And arrive they did: Virginia's starter, Peter Lalich, was dismissed from school, and North Carolina's T.J. Yates suffered a broken ankle.
