Yates takes charge of Heels on first try

Posted Sep 2, 2007

On the game's third play, T.J. Yates pump-faked, got a James Madison back to bite, and arched a pass to wide-open Brooks Foster for a 65-yard touchdown. "That really helped, made me feel more comfortable," said Yates, who went on on to orchestrate a 37-14 season-opening victory. His night's work included three touchdown passes and a 13-for-18 completion mark for 218 yards, with one interception. (Raleigh News & Observer)
