But Flood was responsible. A young QB makes mistakes.. as Nova did.. you don't leave him out there to further embarrass himself and the team. You take him out and coach him up.

And if he is a big baby about being taking out after a real bonehead move and cannot learn from the sidelines, why is he the QB?

Not saying Nova would have been but there were a few post-game interviews where it looked like Nova confused "not caring about" and "not dwelling upon" failures. We should have gotten the opportunity to see how Nova would have behaved had he been taken out. Again, not Nova's responsibility.. but Flood's.. he coddled Nova.

If Flood had taken Nova out when he should have you would not have heard boos. You would have heard cheers when the backup came out to encourage the team. If the backup did poorly, Nova could have been stuck back in and no one would boo. If the backup did well.. fans would have expected him to finish the game. Nova could have gotten the next start and no one would boo him when he took the field... not enough to hear, anyway.

Nova was the perfect QB to pull when he was shown to have a bad day... he had more bad days than good... here people said we'd either get "SuperNova" or "TurnNova". Flood did him a disservice... for all we know some bench time could have made him SuperNova more often.
IMO anyone who Boos any of their own college age players needs to do some serious rethinking about their own maturity level.Be my guest and Boo coaches and pro players all day long.

Well you'll be happy to know there were ZERO boos today. Several bad ideas / throws / reads / interceptions.. and ZERO boos.

There is a reason for that... the OC and head coach did nothing worthy of booing. I think they should have given Lewis the whole 4th QTR (if you were gonna play him and not use the new redshirt rules to advantage).. or even Gio a series or two late in the 3rd.. but no boos... actually.. not quite true.. refs got booed a couple times.

Agree with most. I think keep 1 team in there

Wow what a crappy job by the writer .
The best advice nova could give is maybe don’t throw 7 interceptions in a game!
