T.J. Yates, QB, North Carolina: Given the dilapidated state of West Virginia's secondary, think the Tar Heels might try to throw the football a little bit? Hakeem Nicks is a terrific wide receiver who not only catches the ball but makes things happen after he does. But it's up to Yates to get him the football. Yates missed seven games in the middle of the season with a broken ankle and was lousy when he returned in a 41-10 loss to N.C. State.
