The results were great when Chryst was playing.

Great? That is a bit of a stretch in MHO. The score was 7 to 7 when Chryst got hurt, as I recall. It may be possible to give him credit for the ensuing FG, as Burns just lost yardage. The defense actually won the game.

I'll agree with you here from an objective standpoint. "Great" probably is a stretch.

I'm using "great" as a relative term... the QB who got hurt less than a quarter into the game was responsible for more points (I'll give him credit for the ensuing field goal since he got us down there on the run where he was hurt) than the QB who played the entire rest of the game...10-9. (Should've been 10-12 actually, but Conrad missed a FG somewhere in there.) IMHO, while the defense definitely did win us the game, we would've won by 2+ scores had Chryst not been hurt.
