T.J. Yates says fans should expect more

Posted Oct 29, 2009
T.J. Yates was walking off the field at Kenan Stadium last Thursday night when something flew out of the stands and hit him in the helmet. It was thrown by a disgruntled UNC fan, upset by the loss to Florida State. "I'm glad I had my helmet on," Yates said, laughing. "I've been yelled at (before) coming off the field. I guess it was deserving. Some of the fans are upset that we're not producing on the field." (Winston-Salem Journal)
