For all the wondrous feats the future NFL QB is capable of, he cannot do it alone. The Tar Heels may have the tools to help him this fall.
on Saturday — inside a Bank of America Stadium that has brought UNC fans plenty of pain in the last decade — that theory wasn’t some far-off fantasy; it was reality. Maye was still solid, finishing 24 of 32 passing for 269 yards and two touchdowns, plus four rushes for 25 yards, but he also threw two second-half interceptions, giving the Gamecocks brief belief that a comeback was possible.
That’s a new one, eh? Ever since Brown returned to Chapel Hill five years ago for his second stint as head coach, you can say two things consistently about the Tar Heels: They have almost always had excellent quarterback play, and they have almost always had the antithesis of that on defense. That combination is how, during the three seasons that current Washington Commanders quarterbackplayed in Chapel Hill, UNC went just 21-17 overall, with two double-digit bowl losses.
Saturday did wonders to quiet those questions. Gene Chizik’s defense, from South Carolina’s very first drive, was as aggressive and attacking as advertised, forcing the Gamecocks into a three-and-out that vset the tone for the game. South Carolina’s first third-down attempt, when quarterbackwas almost sacked and sent scrambling, was especially prescient.
