UNC to start T.J. Yates again
Posted Nov 27, 2008
Citing T.J. Yates' experience as a starter and a sense that he's making progress, UNC football coach Butch Davis says that the sophomore quarterback, and not Cameron Sexton, will start again when the Tar Heels face Duke at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham. Yates, who returned to the lineup after missing six weeks because of a broken ankle, struggled with his mechanics in a 41-10 home loss last weekend to N.C. State.
