At this point, NC State is only the 4th Power 5 team to pull off the offensive trifecta, joining Oklahoma St., USC and Missouri.
This is only the second time in NC State history that the trifecta has been pulled off, joining Philip Rivers (3,353), Jerricho Cotchery (1,192) and T.A. McClendon (1,101) who did it in 2002.
Here’s the good news. There is a good chance that all three members of this years Trifecta will be back again next year.
