Josh Downs had inspirational words for Drake Maye before final drive vs. Duke

Josh Downs knew Drake Maye was still down on himself over a fumble that gave Duke a chance to put the game away. When UNC's defense forced the Blue Devils to settle for a missed field-goal attempt to give Maye another chance to rally the Tar Heels, Downs wanted to make sure that the redshirt freshman was entering that drive with the right attitude.
