We're just sad that the little Paulus didn't get to play.

North Carolina coach Butch Davis didn't flinch when T.J. Yates threw yet another interception. Instead, he shared a story with his freshman quarterback.

Davis recalled back to 1989 when Troy Aikman was a rookie playing against the Philadelphia Eagles. Davis, then a Dallas assistant, watched Aikman get sacked more than 10 times. By comparison, Yates finished Saturday's 37-10 loss to No. 23 South Florida with four interceptions – the most by a UNC quarterback in a game in eight years. [WRAL.com]
The thing is, I just don't think TJ Yates is going to grow up and be Troy Aikman. Butch really shouldn't encourage him.
