Jacolby Criswell, Drake Maye Preparing For Possible Big Roles Saturday

Posted Nov 16, 2021
Whether or not injured UNC quarterback Sam Howell plays Saturday versus Wofford remains to be seen, but if Howell does take snaps, it won’t be many. So, backups Jacolby Criswell and Drake Maye will play a significant amount. Howell is currently listed as day-to-day by UNC with an upper body injury suffered late in the loss at Pitt last Thursday.
