The North Carolina quarterback situation
Tar Heels star QB Drake Maye has proven his merits so far this season, and that's an understatement. He is currently among the best signal-callers in the ACC with numbers that speak for themselves.
Maye has logged 2,249 yards so far, going 170-for-260 for a 65.4% CMP. In UNC's loss to Virginia, he still had an excellent game with 347 pass yards, including 17 rushing, going 24-48, two TDs, and one interception.
There is no reason for Drake Maye to sit out the game against Georgia Tech given how he's performed thus far. After all, many fans believe he is perhaps the closest rival to USC's Caleb Williams for this year's Heisman trophy. That's not a claim that people just pull out of thin air.
The Georgia Tech quarterback situation
Haynes King is holding his own thus far this season, even if Georgia Tech isn't really a contender. But perhaps the only criticism one can make of his numbers is that he could underperform even in wins.
Nevertheless, King is going 133-of-223 passing for 1,835 yards (59.6% CMP), alongside 17 total touchdowns and nine total interceptions. The former Texas A&M signal-caller is also quite a good rusher, which was evident in his performance against Boston College.
