T.J. Yates underrated at QB

Posted Oct 20, 2010
T.J. Yates can relate to how Jacory Harris probably feels. Yates, UNC's senior quarterback, endured intense criticism for his play last season, even receiving a handwritten note from a young kid telling him he was no good. Midway through this season, Yates is 121-of-182 passing with 11 touchdowns and one interception. That's right, one — tied with Boise State's Kellen Moore for fewest in the nation.
