Chansky’s Notebook: Maye to Play?

You have to think the Duke’s Mayo Bowl asked UNC if Drake Maye will definitely play in the December 27 game against West Virginia.

When the Vols made it uncomfortably close, UNC had enough left in the tank to get it back to double figures and win, 100-92.

When UNC has 26 (or is it 28?) varsity sports and most of them are postseason regulars, November and March to June can get crazy.

UNC’s 83-81 defeat to Villanova, its first of the season, had self-inflicted mistakes, as well as a foe that fouled out three Tar Heels.

UNC’s opening game against Northern Iowa in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament today should be an indicator.

The attending media knows that when it shows up every Monday morning during the football season, Mack Brown is going to get their attention.

Remaining calm as she paced in front of the UNC bench, Erin Matson seemed to comprehend the moment if not quite embracing it.

UNC’s starters so far – Armando Bacot, R.J. Davis, Harrison Ingram, Paxson Wojcik and Cormac Ryan – could change as the season wears on.

Perhaps pundits not considering UNC to be a “football school” have left Drake Maye out of the Heisman debate.

UNC head coach Mack Brown knows his team must fix its mistakes at Clemson, which has scored 73 points in two straight home victories.
