OL play is disappointing.
KJ's  decision making, first against UC Davis and last night against Notre Dame, was questionable. Some games KJ performs great and others he looks over matched for the position. On the positive side, it does appear that he has a consistently good attitude, great passion for the game, team leadership skills etc...

One's decision making tends to degrade when one is behind and are getting beat up. It is easy to run the through the progression when you have all day, not so easy when you are wearing a defensive lineman. This is true of all QBs, even the great ones. Costello threw a few ill-advised passes last night, one into triple coverage. Even if he doesn't do that, we don't win.

Yes, I read what you wrote and mostly agree.
However, I also remember a year ago when Stanford's OL was being criticized. Once Costello replaced Chryst Stanford's OL play appeared to improve.
I'm not suggesting that Stanford should now make a QB change. Unlike Chryst's career at Stanford,  KJ has played some sensational games. Hopefully this week against Utah Stanford bounces back, KJ and Stanford play great, win the game etc...
