Mitch Trubisky – One Heckuva Quarterback

UNC quarterback Mitch Trubisky deserves a nickname after his heroics each weekend.

Against Florida State, Trubisky completed 31 of 38 passes for 405 yards, threw for three touchdowns and had zero interceptions. Trubisky also ran for one touchdown.

He fumbled once, but North Carolina recovered the ball.

For the second consecutive week, Trubisky maintained his composure and marched UNC’s offense down the field to set up a winning drive for the Tar Heels.

Call me a fanboy if you want, but Trubisky is the truth. Maybe his nickname can derive from his true talent; hence, ‘True-Bisky.’

Who knows.

One thing I do know – Trubisky has already written his name in the record books at UNC. Likewise, Trubisky (rather True-Bisky) may arguably be one of the top two quarterbacks in the ACC. This is a bold statement to make, when you consider that Clemson’s Deshaun Watson and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson are quarterbacks in the ACC as well.

During this season, Trubisky has not thrown an interception to this point. Through five games. Trubisky has recorded 1711 yards, completed 133 of 175 pass attempts and thrown for 13 touchdowns. Trubisky completes 76% of his passes.
