No. 21 LSU escapes late charge from Yates, No. 18 UNC
NCAA Football Betting Lines
09/05/2010 -
Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - T.J. Yates led 18th-ranked North Carolina to a
pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns and nearly a third on the final play of the
game, but it wasn't enough for the short-handed Tar Heels, as No. 21 LSU
barely held on for a 30-24 win at the Georgia Dome.
The Heels were without 13 players for the season-opener. Seven of those were
for violations of school or NCAA rules and six others were kept out while the
investigation continues into possible violations of North Carolina law
involving sports agents.
Yates had over 400 yards passing, with over half of that being reeled in by
Jheranie Boyd, but the Tigers (1-0) were able to thwart the final pass to the
end zone.
It all seemed lost for the Tar Heels (0-1) after Yates was sacked from the
blind side by Tyrann Mathieu, and the Tigers recovered at the UNC 39 with 1
1/2 minutes left. But Stevan Ridley fumbled the ball away on third down,
giving UNC life again.
Boyd made a key 21-yard catch, and Yates followed that with a 20-yarder to the
sideline for Joshua Adams. A nine-yard connection to senior tight end Zack
Pianalto put the ball at the six with six seconds left. The two tried hooking
up again in the back of the end zone, but Pianalto couldn't hold on.
That gave Yates a last try with two seconds left. He looked for Pianalto over
the middle, just over the goal line, but the pass fell incomplete as
linebacker Stefoin Francois impeded the tight end's progress with his left
hand. Yates motioned for a penalty flag, but none came and LSU coach Les Miles
breathed a sigh of relief.
Jordan Jefferson completed 15-of-21 passes for 151 yards with a pair of
touchdowns and was picked off once for the Tigers, who won their eighth
straight season-opener. They've won 30 straight non-conference games in the
regular season, the longest in the nation.
Patrick Peterson set an LSU record for combined return yards with 257. His
244 return yards in the first half was an SEC record for a half.
Yates finished 28-of-46 for 412 yards and three scores. Boyd made six grabs
for 221 yards, including a 97-yard TD, which was the longest play from
scrimmage in the UNC history.
Defensive tackle Marvin Austin, who had already been suspended by head coach
Butch Davis for violating team rules, was one of the players ruled ineligible
for UNC. The others are cornerbacks Charles Brown and Kendric Burney, wide
receiver Greg Little and defensive ends Michael McAdoo and Robert Quinn, and
safety Deunta Williams. The six others who were withheld from Saturday's game
were tailbacks Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston, defensive end Linwan Euwell and
safeties Brian Gupton, Da'Norris Searcy and Jonathan Smith.
Josh Jasper's 44-yard field goal try clanked off the right upright for LSU
early in the first quarter. UNC then fumbled the ball away, which led to
Jefferson's six-yard TD pass to Russell Shepard.
Yates tied the game early in the second on a nine-yard TD pass to Devon
Ramsay.
Casey Barth's 20-yard field goal moved UNC to a 10-7 edge with 8:24 left
in the second, but just 18 seconds later Shepard broke off a 50-yard TD run.
A high snap through the end zone gave LSU a safety less than a minute later,
and Peteron rumbled 87 yards on a punt return for a 23-10 margin with four
minutes left in the half.
Jefferson's 51-yard TD strike to Rueben Randle widened the gap to 30-10 with
2:28 to go in the second quarter.
Ridley fumbled the ball away deep in UNC territory early in the third and UNC
pulled closer in the fourth. Yates, off play action, threw a 97-yard bomb down
the middle to Boyd with 10:34 left in the game.
A 14-yard TD pass from Yates to freshman Erik Highsmith made it 30-24 with
2:32 to go.
