September 27, 2016 | Football
Junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky picked up a trio of national honors in the wake of his record-setting performance last Saturday against Pitt. The Mentor, Ohio, product was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Offensive Player of the Week, marking the first time a UNC offensive player has earned that recognition. Trubisky was also one of eight players named to the Davey O'Brien Award "Great 8" list and one of eight "Stars of the Week" as chosen by the Manning Award.
Trubisky had another record-setting day at quarterback in the 37-36 win over Pitt, completing 35 of 46 passes for 453 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. He set career highs for completions, pass attempts, passing yards and touchdown passes against the Panthers and tied the school record for TD passes in a game with five. Trubisky also set the school record for most passing yards in back-to-back games with 885 yards (432 vs. JMU and 453 against Pitt).
