Yates' game plan: Get the ball to UNC's playmakers

Posted Aug 2, 2008

With one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's best sets of receivers at his disposal and in an up-for-grabs Coastal Division, T.J. Yates' game plan is simple: Get the ball to those playmakers, and get out of the way. "There's times when I have to squeeze (passes) in there, but the majority of the time, we've got to take what we can and give them the ball, and let them make the play,"' Yates said Friday.
