Virginia Tech proved to be the cure to what ailed the UNC defense, and the Tar Heel offense regained the form we’ve come to expect of them in UNC’s 41-10 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday. While I don’t think concerns about the defense are unfounded, they held their own to make the game against the Hokies fairly uncompetitive.
Drake Maye was excellent once again. He threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for two more before being pulled late in the fourth quarter to give Jacolby Criswell some playing time. Tar Heel fans around the globe held their collective breath earlier in the game when Maye, as he has a tendency to do, leapt over a Hokie defender in pursuit of the end zone.
