Drake Maye figured Nate McCollum was ready for a big game as North Carolina's top target Saturday. “He told me before the game: ‘Man, Drake, I’m itching to play,'” Maye said.

Preseason expectations grew for No. 20 North Carolina thanks largely to the return of star quarterback Drake Maye. The Tar Heels (2-0) are tied for ninth nationally by averaging 243.5 yards rushing, highlighted by Omarion Hampton running for 234 yards — the No. 2 total for any Bowl Subdivision game as of Thursday — in last weekend's double-overtime win against Appalachian State. Meanwhile, Maye hasn't opened the season with prolific numbers as a Heisman Trophy candidate working under a new coordinator and with his presumed top target not cleared to play by the NCAA.
