Position battles to watch as fall camp begins

Posted Aug 3, 2010
UNC quarterback: Senior T.J. Yates has spent each of the past three seasons as the starter, but his disappointing 2009 performance has put his job in jeopardy. Yates ranked 97th in the nation in passing efficiency and threw more interceptions (15) than touchdown passes (14). Yates is facing competition from redshirt freshman Bryn Renner, the No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the 2009 recruiting class. (Gator Bait)
