T.J. Yates Learns On the Job in UNC Loss
Posted Sep 23, 2007
Butch Davis didn't flinch when T.J. Yates threw yet another interception. Instead, he shared a story with his freshman quarterback. Davis recalled back to 1989 when Troy Aikman was a rookie playing against the Philadelphia Eagles. Davis watched Aikman get sacked more than 10 times. By comparison, Yates finished Saturday's 37-10 loss to No. 23 South Florida with four interceptions.
