Noah’s stats from those first 8 games when we were healthier (AC, Sutton and ONeal injuries):
1) 138+ passing yards per game -mostly 150+
2) at least 15 completions per game
3) outside of OSU game, no interceptions
4) 7 passing TDs (in 5 of 7 games)
5) attempted 26+ passes in 7 of 8 games
Now those are not super star stats - make no mistake. But we didn’t play anyone like Wagner last year. Delaware would beat them by 30+. So let’s chuck that game in the garbage. In the other 2 games this year, our current QBs combined for 110 passing yards (BC) and 59 passing yards (Temple) - 169 passing yards total through 2 games. No passing TDs.
Those of you blaming the coaches for not giving the young guys more opportunities to throw aren’t at practice. Clearly Noah had a greener light to throw the ball last year because they trusted him more even then. So how about we at least see what he can do for us (clearly the intended starter pre injury) before sounding the alarms. If he’s healthy - there’s no question he’s going to start.
