Tar Heels QB Yates looking for efficiency, and victories

Posted Oct 29, 2009
The same quarterback who broke UNC's single-season passing record with 2,655 yards two years ago has thrown for 1,028 (with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions) this season. The same athlete who led the ACC in pass efficiency as a sophomore isn't even listed in the league's current top 10. And the team that once thought it had a chance to compete for the ACC championship now must scramble just to make the postseason. (Charlotte Observer)
