David Teel: Drake Maye vying to become UNC's first ACC Player of Year since Lawrence Taylor
Drake Maye threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, without an interception. Excluding sacks, he rushed for 95 yards and another score, his all-around excellence leading North Carolina to a come-from-behind victory at Virginia.
His efficiency rating for the afternoon, 154.63, was by far his worst of the season.
That’s how good Maye has been as a redshirt freshman.
But Maye’s numbers, and clutch gene, rate with anyone’s this season, and even Winston’s from 2013.
He paces the Bowl Subdivision in total offense at 386.3 yards per game and touchdown passes with 31. The last freshman to lead the FBS in total offense was Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel in 2012, when he won the Heisman.
Maye’s 181.82 passer rating is second to Stroud’s 185.85 and in range of Winston’s 2013 ACC record of 184.85. He also ranks among the top five in completion percentage (71.2), passing yards per game (329.3), and yards per attempt (9.5).
Of the 32 FBS quarterbacks who have thrown at least 300 passes this season, Maye stands second in fewest interceptions with three. Southern California's Caleb Williams has one.
