Heels 'angry' about defeat

Posted Sep 29, 2009
The memory of UNC's first loss of the season is starting to fade away, but not the pain. Almost three full days have passed since the 24-7 setback at Georgia Tech, but quarterback T.J. Yates is still upset with the manner in which he played. Yates said he expects UNC to have "a chip on its shoulder" on Saturday when it plays its ACC home opener against Virginia.
