Rutgers' defense will be pivotal against North Carolina

Posted Sep 21, 2010

Yates will be back under center when UNC plays Rutgers on Saturday at Rutgers Stadium. And that's not good news for Rutgers, considering Yates threw for 221 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Tar Heels to a 44-12 victory the last time the two programs met two years ago.
