T.J. Yates feeling the criticism

Posted Oct 27, 2009
As if it wasn't enough last Thursday -- throwing for only 64 yards, tossing and interception and losing an 18-point lead in a loss to Florida State -- North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates actually had a fan throw something at him as he left the field. Either or pin or a coin pinged off his helmet, he said Monday. But he's trying not to let the criticism get to him, he said.
