My problem is that I have never seen the "Good Chryst" when we needed it. We always get it when we are running well and probably would be fine with a "doesn't suck too bad Chryst". Certainly, running well can be connected to a good passing game, but from what I have seen, the running game has already done significant damage before we see "good Chryst". He has had his chances, particularly against SDSU, to take the game on his back. He hasn't yet come close to doing that.

Well, sure, that's always been part of the knock on him, most of his games have come against terrible teams, and when he plays good teams he's not particularly good. Still, the traits he shows against bad teams could show up against good ones. He had a decent game against Utah, for example (I know they're not world-beaters but they're not a bad defense).

As I said, were I a betting man, would I bet on him having a good game against WSU? No. But it's within the realm of possibility!
