T.J. Yates bounces back from rough year

Posted Sep 9, 2010
One strong performance might have won back some of fans that T.J. Yates lost during a struggle-filled junior season at UNC. A few more might help the Tar Heels fight through an ugly and embarrassing period in the program’s history. Coming off a career-high passing performance in the opener against No. 19 LSU, Yates is working through an early bye week with a restored confidence that seemed shaken over the past year.
