Bradley Chubb entered today’s contest against Boston College needing 2 sacks and 3 tackles for loss to tie Mario Williams career records at NC State. No one would have judged him if it took him two games or so to pull off the feat.

Today Chubb showed why he is arguably the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all Time) at NC State at sacking the quarterback and bringing down the opponent in the backfield.

He tallied 4 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, not tying Super Mario, but passing him, to become the all-time leader at NC State in sacks and tackles for loss.

Here’s what the record book looks like now:

Sacks
1) Bradley Chubb – 26
2) Mario Williams – 25.5
3) Tyler Lawrence – 24
4) Art Norman – 23.5
5) Carl Reeves – 22.5

Tackles for Loss
1) Bradley Chubb – 56.5
2) Mario Williams – 55.5
3) Willie Young – 45.5
4) Carl Reeves – 45
5) Manny Lawson – 41
5) Dantonio Burnette – 41

Mario Williams #9 isn’t a retired numbered, but it is honored, and a player can be given the honor of wearing the number by their coach. Chubb was given the honor, and wears a Mario Williams patch on his jersey. No insult to Mario, but I think they can go ahead and take the patch off.

Don’t make the argument that Mario’s numbers are more impressive because he only played three years before leaving for the NFL. Chubb primarily played on special teams as a true freshman, and didn’t record a single sack or tackle for loss his first year. Chubb recorded every single sack and tackle for loss in three seasons, just like Williams.

Chubb still has 3 games left to play at NC State, and while he’s already climbed the mountain of the NC State record book, now we will have to wait and see how far he can climb up the ACC record books. He is currently tied with William Perry (Clemson, 81-84) and Mike Frederick (Virginia, 91-94) for 18th in ACC history for sacks, and ranks 9th in tackles for loss.

Here’s a look at Chubb’s historic day:

And it wouldn’t be a historic day with Chubb, without Chubb being Chubb:
