For Rutgers, key will be to silence Tar Heel QB T.J. Yates

Posted Sep 21, 2010
With all the uncertainty surrounding UNC’s visit to Rutgers on Saturday, Alex Silvestro has managed to see one thing clearly. He doesn’t know if the 12 Tar Heels on indefinite suspension will be back this weekend. But past experience tells him that if he and his defensive teammates don’t get pressure on UNC quarterback T.J. Yates, it won’t matter who is — or isn’t — playing for the Tar Heels. (Newark Star-Ledger)
