Rutgers looking to pressure UNC quarterback T.J. Yates

Posted Sep 24, 2010
While the Scarlet Knights need a stellar effort from quarterback Tom Savage to beat North Carolina on Saturday at Rutgers Stadium, it’s equally important that their defensive line get after Tar Heels quarterback T.J. Yates, who was way too comfortable in the pocket when the teams met two seasons ago in Piscataway. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano says the Tar Heels' offensive line protects him well.
