Chryst played well in those games, but he stunk against SDSU and last week. Time for some EUTM and mobility back thereI don't know about Chryst's EUTM, but he seems to be somewhat of a team leader and well respected. That probably isn't the problem :). Chryst just doesn't play "fast" back there, and seems to be a very erratic passer, great one week, bad the next. While there are plenty of theories as to why that is, nothing has cured it, and that is a problem.
One thing concerns me a bit. Shaw has stated that this change was motivated by performance in practice this week. I wonder if it its a simple as this: KJ runs the zone read much better than KC and is more of a threat to run. Arizona killed WSU with QB runs. We defeated (barely) WSU two years ago running the QB. Therefore, the better runner starts! It may be that this choice has little to do with the fact that KC had trouble completing passes last week. I obviously don't know, but it could be we got what we want for the "wrong" reason!
