Yates accepting of his role upon return
Posted Nov 5, 2008
After Butch Davis came out last week and said that Cameron Sexton will be North Carolina's quarterback for the rest of the season "barring any unforeseen injury," T.J. Yates said he has mentally prepared himself to be the Tar Heels' backup once he's cleared to return to the field. "He deserves it," Yates said Tuesday about Sexton starting. "He's been playing amazing. He hasn't been turning the ball over, he's been winning games, so I understand that completely."
