Zack Pianalto still T.J. Yates' "go-to guy"

Posted Sep 6, 2010
UNC quarterback T.J. Yates knew exactly where to aim his pass Saturday with the game on the line. "In that situation, I'm going to 17,'' Yates would say later. "He's my go-to guy.'' No. 17 is senior tight end Zack Pianalto, who Yates threw to twice in the end zone over the final six seconds of UNC's matchup against LSU in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game. (Fayetteville Observer)
