UNC Football off to best start in 26 years after magical Drake Maye performance

Posted Sep 23, 2023
UNC Football is off to its best start in 26 years. Quarterback Drake Maye ran for two touchdowns and showed his improvisational skills with a left-handed touchdown pass as the No. 18 Tar Heels rolled to a 41–24 victory over Pittsburgh in their ACC opener for their best start since 1997, when Mack Brown’s last team of his first stint also started 4-0.
