This time, Yates hears the cheers

Posted Sep 6, 2010
The fact that T.J. Yates, who threw for a career-high 412 yards, was able put his undermanned Tar Heels in position to win at all is a boon to a squad, and fan base, that has seen its roster and reputation depleted by investigations into possible agent and academic misconduct. "T.J. is a strong kid, in his heart and in his mind," said UNC coach Butch Davis, who told Yates how proud he was of him after his 28-for-46, three-touchdown performance. (Raleigh News & Observer)
