UNC’s Nate McCollum comes up big in victory: "He became Josh Downs for us."

Posted Sep 17, 2023
Tez Walker is ineligible. Nate McCollum was slowed in preseason, didn’t play in the opener against South Carolina and only had a handful of plays against App State. And then Saturday happened. McCollum was targeted 21 times and caught 15 Drake Maye passes as the No. 20 Tar Heels beat Minnesota 31-13. He finished with 165 yards in receptions. (AOL.com)
