Jacoby Brissett’s Streak By The Numbers

It has been well documented that Jacoby Brissett has been a great addition to the NC State program ever since he transferred from Florida.  The Wolfpack were coming off a winless ACC season prior to Brissett taking over as QB.  A big reason why Jacoby has been so successful is because he values the ball and rarely throws an interception.  He has also been a big reason why the Wolfpack have made great strides as a football team, as they won 8 games a year ago.

Lets delve into the streak which is currently ranked as the 7th longest streak in ACC history.

By the numbers: 

• 189 attempts without an interception.
• 30 quarters of play without a pick.
• Last INT came against Georgia Tech on November 8th 2014 (NC State’s last loss).
• Jacoby currently holds two of the top eight interception-free streaks in ACC history (187 & 189).
• Second among active NCAA players who have not thrown an interception, trailing Dak Prescott (192 attempts without a pick) of Mississippi State.
• 11 touchdowns thrown in his last 189 attempts.
• NC State is 7-0 during Jacoby’s streak.
