NC State football position grades, Week 1: Who stood out against Troy?

The offense put on a dominating performance in a 49-21 win over the Troy Trojans on Saturday, but which position groups performed the best or the worst?

QUARTERBACKS
Senior Jacoby Brissett had a great game, completing 21 of 23 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions. Brissett threw almost exclusively short passes, and overthrew his one deep shot, so it's hard to judge that aspect. We would be overly picky to drop his grade just for doing what is necessary and doing it very well. Jalan McClendon came in for the fourth quarter, completing one of his two passes for 3 yards despite constant pressure when he dropped back.
