Yates could lead Heels to bowl

Posted Sep 12, 2007

After two weeks of football, it appears North Carolina might have an opportunity to challenge for a bowl bid after going 3-9 last season. The reason? Redshirt freshman quarterback T.J. Yates, who worked on the scout team last year behind Joe Dailey and Cameron Sexton, is a lot better than expected. He shows an uncanny ability to keep his eyes downfield and avoid the rush. His most impressive skill is his ability to throw the deep ball. (Charlotte Observer)
