[QUOTE="Techster, post: 826252, member: 360"] Looking at the metrics for Yates, it's REALLY hard to make a case for benching him right now. You see what JT Daniels (a 5 star recruit, who has a better OL and skill players) did when UGA played Clemson and Yates did a better job with less to work with. From the article: [I]Predictably, Yates faced intense pressure from the Clemson front. He struggled to the tune of -0.64 EPA/pass in those situations. Significantly though, he posted a very strong 0.19 EPA/pass play when not under pressure. [B]Football Outsiders has done research demonstrating that a QB’s EPA numbers are much stickier (in terms of year to year consistency) when facing no pressure. That is, the impressive number Yates put up with a clean pocket should tell us more about what to expect about his future performance.

He earned another start and more with his showing Saturday afternoon.[/B][/I] I'm going to be really interested to see how Yates plays against UNC. UNC has a talented defense, but their DL is no where near the level of Clemson's. [/QUOTE]
