With UNC's offense struggling, Yates feels the heat

Posted Oct 27, 2009
North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates hears the criticism. He hears it on campus when he's going to class, and when he walks off the field after a loss. The Tar Heels are 4-3 overall, 0-3 in the ACC, and Yates is becoming the prime target of fans' discontent since his numbers are down from the past two years. But the third-year starter said he also has learned how to block out all that noise and to not take any of it personal. (Durham Herald-Sun)
