UNC quarterback Drake Maye’s numbers, and clutch gene, rate with anyone’s this season, and even Jameis Winston’s from 2013. He paces the Bowl Subdivision in total offense at 386.3 yards per game and touchdown passes with 31. The last freshman to lead the FBS in total offense was Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel in 2012, when he won the Heisman. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
