Second-half surge

Posted Sep 5, 2010
Six yards. That’s the distance that stood between UNC quarterback T.J. Yates leading the Tar Heels to one of their greatest comeback victories of all time in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game and the team’s 30-24 loss to LSU. After he threw an incompletion in the end zone on the last play of the game, Yates squatted on the floor of the Georgia Dome and placed his head in his hands. (Baton Rouge Advocate)
