No. 24 UNC survives 2OT thriller to beat rival Duke 47-45 in home finale

Associated Press  

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — For the second straight year, Drake Maye pushed No. Maye pushed the Tar Heels to one final lead before UNC stopped Duke’s 2-point conversion attempt to tie the game in the second overtime, sending the No. “I think he’s as good as anybody I’ve ever been around,” Brown said, adding: “He never even flinched.” Maye ran around the right side, turned through hits near the goal line and extended the ball for a 5-yard touchdown. Two years in a row, we just couldn’t stop that kid with the game on the line.” Maye threw for 342 yards and a touchdown to go with two rushing scores in what Brown has said is likely his last home game as a high NFL prospect, though the third-year passer hasn’t publicly committed to a decision. THE TAKEAWAY Duke: The Blue Devils found themselves struggling to match UNC’s offensive production, though they capitalized on their opportunities and the Tar Heels’ mistakes — then pounced in the fourth to come oh-so-close to ending their losing streak in the rivalry.
