UNC-Duke Observations

Posted Nov 8, 2009
Butch Davis' loyalty to T.J. Yates is admirable, but the junior quarterback is at the point where's hurting the offense more than helping. He badly overthrew at least four open receivers during the first half, including Erik Highsmith running alone down the middle of the field on the first series. Yates needs to find his confidence if the Tar Heels are going to beat either Miami or Boston College the next two weeks. (Charlotte Observer)
