North Carolina freshman starting quarterback Drake Maye made headlines earlier this week at a press conference when he said that players only go to rival NC State if they “can’t get into North Carolina”.
Maye has since apologized for those comments, as has coach Mack Brown.
NC State coach Dave Doeren, who has guided the Wolfpack to a 3–0 start to the season and a No. 12 ranking in the AP poll, reacted to Maye’s comments on Friday in an interview with CBS Sports’ Damon Amendolara.
“We’re focused on beating UConn and they have a game of their own,” Doeren said when he asked if he paid any attention to the comments of Maye.
