Experience is likely to makeYates the starter

Posted Aug 24, 2010
While Butch Davis did not officially announce a starter Monday -- the first day the Tar Heels were to spend the majority of practice focusing on the Tigers -- he did give a clearer picture of the situation. "T.J. Yates is still the starting quarterback," Davis said. "And I think he's done a very, very good job. I think that Bryn has pushed him and I think that Bryn has earned the respect. [Renner] could certainly play in the first game." (Durham Herald-Sun)
