Tale of the Tape: Starting Quarterbacks – Drew Pyne vs. Drake Maye

Pyne might be out of his league with this matchup.

Add another to what’s been a series of mismatches at quarterback for Notre Dame this season. One full game wasn’t enough for [autotag]Drew Pyne[/autotag] to catch up to what [autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag] did before the injury he suffered late against Marshall knocked him out for the year. Unless Pyne suddenly becomes amazing, you really have to start wondering if there is any chance he’ll be better than the opposing quarterback in any game this season. Navy perhaps?

The Tar Heels have Drake Maye as their quarterback, and holy smokes. How is this 19-year-old doing all of this already in his first season taking over for Sam Howell? Maybe the best passer in North Carolina history taught him everything he needs to know about playing at the college level because these numbers make it look like Howell never left. Still, Howell failed to beat Notre Dame in his two opportunities, so maybe this isn’t the biggest thing for the Irish to worry about.
