Freshmen-laden UNC builds on win

Posted Oct 7, 2007

Quarterback T.J. Yates finally found a situation he wasn't sure how to handle Saturday when he met with the media. Like many of North Carolina's other freshmen, Yates made big plays during the 33-27 defeat of Miami at Kenan Stadium. But Yates and the Tar Heels' long list of first-year contributors had never won a game of this magnitude. Should he act surprised? Should he act like he expected this? Yates didn't seem to know.
