Changing Triangle football tradition

Posted Aug 29, 2008
Last season Tar Heel fans watched freshman, T.J. Yates, operate at quarterback. The results were both encouraging and confounding. Yates threw for 14 touchdowns and a school-record 2,655 yards, but suffered 18 interceptions. Worse, the Heels finished 4-8; six losses came by a touchdown or less. Through it all, the team demonstrated considerable athleticism and growing élan, and so enters this season tested and confident. (WRAL.com)
