NC State (4-6) at UNC (7-3)

With two games left in the regular season and a division title still in the picture, North Carolina is opening up the competition at quarterback.

T.J. Yates, who broke his ankle in the third game of the season, and Cam Sexton, who took over the starting job and led the Tar Heels to a five wins in seven games, will compete for the starting job as the Heels (7-3, 3-3 ACC) get ready to host North Carolina State.

Coach Butch Davis said the decision was reached after a couple of staff meetings following the loss to Maryland. In that game Sexton threw one touchdown pass but also dropped a fumble on a run and threw an interception on Carolina's final offensive play. He completed only 10 of 24 passes for 166 yards -- 59 on one play.

He had two interceptions in the loss to Virginia.

Yates completed 41-of-69 passes with only one interception and had the Heels ahead of Virginia Tech when he was injured. He was able to get back onto the practice field on a limited basis following the team's open date on Nov. 1 but now is able to take part fully in practice.

Despite their loss to Maryland, the Tar Heels remain in the race for the Coastal Division's berth in the ACC Championship game, though they obviously need some help.

Miami leads the division with a 4-2 mark but must go on the road for its final two games against Georgia Tech and Boston College.

The Heels have the tiebreaker over the Hurricanes in the event of a two-way tie involving those two teams, and they also hold the advantage in a two-team tie with Georgia Tech. The Heels also need Virginia and Virginia Tech also to lose one more game to get to Tampa for the title game.

The game against the Wolfpack is the home finale for the Heels. They end the regular season at Duke.
