HEY, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. ALREADY DOWN ONE TARGET. UNC ANNOUNCED TRANSFER WHITEOUT NATE MCCOLLUM ALSO OUT TONIGHT VERSUS SOUTH CAROLINA. THE NUMBER 21 TAR HEELS NEED TO LEAN INTO ITS DEP AS IT LOOKED TO GAIN SOME RESPECT ON THE NATIONAL STAGE TO OPEN THE SEASON BECAUSE OF A STADIUM. HE WAS ALREADY IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. THANKS TO THIS GUY AT THE DRAKE MAYE HEISMAN CAMPAIGN BEGIN NEO OC CHIP LINDSEY, HIS ONE-GAME PAYING DIVIDENDS EARLY. FORMER CLEVELAND STAR OMARION HAMPTON BUSED IN FROM THE ONE YARD SCORE. >> IT WAS 7 OF THE DEALS YOU 170 YARDS RUSHING TAR HEELS. DEFENSE ALSO HUNGRY TO PROVE IT WASN'T PROOF FROM LAST YEAR. HOT START FOR GENE CHIZIK. SCREW KEVIN HAS TO WITH THE STOPPED. BUT THEN GAMECOCKS OFFENSE STARTS TO CLICK, TAKEN A 14, 10 LEAD. THE END OF THE HALF. DRAKE MAY PLAY ACTION TO KOBE PACE OR THE 34 YARD STRIKE. BUT THE HEELS OF 17, 14 AT THE HALF HEELS WOULD NOT LOOK BACK. THIS DEFENSE LIVING IN THE BACKFIELD SACKING SPENCER RATTLER 9 TIMES HOLDING SOUTH CAROLINA TO JUST 3 POINTS IN THE 2ND HALF. 31 17, THE FINAL. LET'S BRING IN WRAL'S. CHRIS LEE JOINS US LIVE FROM BANK MEGA STADIUM. CHRIS, THAT DEFENSE WAS STOUT. BUT IN A GAME THAT WAS TOUTED AS ONE OF THE BEST QUARTERBACK MATCHUPS. IT WAS DRAKE MAYE WHO SHINES. >> ABSOLUTELY, CASEY. I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE U.S. TO TALK ABOUT WINNING THIS GAME IS BECAUSE OF DRAKE MAYE. HE DID MAKE A FEW MISTAKES. HE DID THROW 2 INTERCEPTIONS IN THIS GAME. BUT OTHERWISE HE WAS SOLID. HE DIDN'T LET TIMES RATTLE HIM AND HE CAME BACK EVERY SINGLE TIME AND MADE PLAY AFTER PLAY AFTER PLAY. LET'S GO AHEAD AND ROLL THOSE HIGHLIGHTS FOR YOU SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT DRAKE MAYE HE HAD 24 OF 32 PASSING 269 YARDS. OF COURSE, AND HE HAD THOSE 2 TOUCHDOWNS AND A MENTION THOSE 2 INTERCEPTIONS FROM BEFORE THE DRINK MADE DIDN'T QUITE LOOK LIKE THE NUMBER 2 BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE NATION TONIGHT. AT TIMES. AGAIN, THOSE 2 INTERCEPTIONS THAT HE THREW, HOWEVER HE WAS SOLID. HE USE HIS FEET, WHATEVER HE HAD TO LOOKING UP THE FIELD EVERY SINGLE TIME TO SEE IF HE COULD HIT THE OPEN GUY, THROWING IT AWAY WHEN HE NEEDED TO TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THE BALL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I'LL EVEN SAY THAT ONE OF THOSE INTERCEPTIONS IS NOT EVEN ON HIM. WHAT THROUGH THE HANDS OF HIS RECEIVER AND THEN THAT WAY THAT LED A SOUTH CAROLINA TO BE ABLE TO GET THE BALL OVER ALL THE BEST QUARTERBACK ON THE FIELD WAS DRAKE MAYE. SO HE ENDED UP HELPING THE CAROLINA TAR HEELS GET TO A 31 TO 17 WIN TONIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT START FOR HIM TO BEGIN THE SEASON AS HE'S LOOKING TO TRY TO WIN THE HEISMAN TROPHY, BUT ALSO TRYING TO TAKE CAROLINA LITTLE BIT FURTHER THAN WHAT THEY'RE GOING IN THE YEARS PRIOR. SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS HIS SECOND FULL YEAR STARTING FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS. WE WILL BE HERE IN THE MORNING TO GIVE YOU A FULL GAME TOMORROW RIGHT HERE ON WRAL, KASEY, THEY ALSO GET THAT RUN GAME GOING AND THE DEFENSE
