NC State Record Book Watch Heading Into FSU

NC State and Florida State will battle it out in Carter-Finley Stadium tomorrow, but before they do, here’s a look at which Wolfpack players could make moves in the record book.

Redshirt Graduate Senior Quarterback Ryan Finley currently ranks 3rd all-time in career passing yards, with 634 yards separating him from Jamie Barnette in 2nd place. Finley is on pace to finish with 10,755 career passing yards. He also ranks 5th all-time in passing touchdowns (48), and is on pace to tie Jamie Barnette for 4th all-time with 59. Finley currently ranks 2nd all-time in career interception avoidance (1.75) and passing efficiency (138.91), and 4th in Total Offense. He is only 498 yards of total offense away from passing Jamie Barnette, and moving into 2nd place.

He also ranks 2nd all-time in 300-yard passing games. Finley has 5 regular season games left, and likely a bowl game. He would have to throw for 300+ yards in every game to take the top spot from Rivers. It’s worth noting that Finley only played at State 3 years, instead of 4 like Rivers.

1) Philip Rivers – 19
2) Ryan Finley – 15
3) Russell Wilson – 12
4) Mike Glennon – 8
5) Jamie Barnette – 5

Finley is on pace to throw for 4,179 yards in 2018, which would be the second highest total in a single season behind Philip Rivers. His current passing efficiency rating is 149.8 in 2018, which would be the second highest rating for a single-season if the season ended today.

Junior Wide Receiver Kelvin Harmon currently ranks 5th all-time in career receptions (142) and receiving yards (2,273), and 4th all-time in 100-yard  receiving games. If Harmon has his typical 6-7 reception game with over 100 yards receiving, he will pass Eddie Goines in both career receiving yards and receptions, moving into 4th place.

Harmon is on pace to finish with 85 receptions and 1475 receiving yards in 2018, which would be the 3rd most receptions in a season, and the 2nd most receiving yards.

Senior Running Back Reggie Gallaspy ranks 11th in career rushing touchdowns (20). He is 2 touchdowns away from breaking into the Top-10.

If Gallaspy keeps up his current pace, he will finish the 2018 season with 17 rushing touchdowns, which would be the 2nd most in a single season in school history.

Senior Punter AJ Cole ranks 3rd in career punting average (42.2), and 4th in career punts (194) and punting yards (8,195).

Senior Defensive End Darian Roseboro is 2.5 sacks away from moving into the Top-10 in school history, currently sitting at 14th with 14.5 career sacks.
