I still hear talk from people afraid the Nooch is going to have a Colgate game. Stop it already. This talk should have been ended early this season. He throws one pick last game and I got comments from friends "here we go...." like he's been doing it all season.
For a guy that's been as good as he has been this season, he deserves a little more faith from the fan base.
There's no doubt there's unfinished business and he could have a bad game. But at this point if it were to happen it would be an outlier to this season, not the norm.
I have faith in the Nooch to have a great game tomorrow and to bring the title back to the 'Burg.
Trust The Nooch.

Hear hear!!!! I stand with Nooch!

Agreed and the fans/media have made such a huge deal about that colgate game the entire season, its easy to think that even a simple mistake that Nooch makes may creep into his head. Cut the kid a break, he is statistically one of the best QBs we have ever had. He already said after the Monmouth game how he was tired of hearing about it and frankly so should all of us. It was 15 games ago. Even if he throws 2 picks in a game, he is still a different player than last year

Nooch isn't so much a different player. The key differences from last year are the O-line is playing better. Same guys, pretty much, but their performance is a million times better. It would be nice to see the pocket last more than three seconds, but last year it was like one second. Big difference. I credit the offensive line coach.

Secondly, the playcalling has been much, much better this year. We are now running an offense keyed to Nooch's strengths instead of constantly putting him in situations destined to fail, then blaming him for it.

I will never forget the New Hampshire game last year and Nooch's fumble. The pocket he was forced to throw from lasted a microsecond, as usual, and Nooch started running for his life. He was taken down in the backfield and while sitting on his butt on the turf, was stripped of the ball and fighting to get the ball back. I remember vividly the look of hopelessness and desperation on his face. He was benched and Cole came in, committing a ton more turnovers, and who got the blame for the loss.... Nooch! Sometimes I think people can't see what is right in front of them.
