Even without his best two receivers, talented sophomore quarterback Drake Maye still found a way. And UNC finally found a way to keep pressure on an opposing quarterback. Showing elusiveness and poise in the Tar Heels' opener, Maye led No. 21 North Carolina to a 31–17 victory Saturday for Coach Mack Brown’s 100th win as Carolina's head coach. (Tar Heel Tribune)
