Only option: Yellow Jackets run through Tar Heels

Posted Sep 27, 2009
After UNC quarterback T.J. Yates threw his second interception in the final minutes of Saturday's 24-7 loss to Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium, he walked back to the Tar Heels' sideline and threw his helmet at the bench. Even though the game already was virtually decided, Yates let loose his obvious frustration after Georgia Tech shut down UNC's offense to hand the Tar Heels their first loss of the season.
