T.J. Yates is UNC's starter

With spring practice a week away, UNC coach Butch Davis tried to squash any budding quarterback controversy, stating "T.J. Yates is absolutely the starter.  We've won games because he has played spectacular. He has to play like that all the time. He can't make the mistakes that he has made in the past."

Uh, way to back track there coach.  I'm very high on backup Bryn Renner, but his decision to split time on the diamond this spring is questionable. There is no doubt that Yates starts the season opener against LSU, but the Heels have a defense that is championship-worthy, and if T.J. can't get it done, I'd expect Davis to have a quick hook.
