Other QB's in the conference have garnered more press (Minshew and Herbert, for example) but KJ Costello is quietly having one of the best seasons by a Stanford QB in a while.  He leads the conference in PER at 156 and after last night now has six 300 yard passing games, something that only two other Stanford quarterbacks have every accomplished: John Elway and Steve Stenstrom.

A few other comparative notes on Costello vs notable QBs.

Costello
Year 1: PER = 139.5, 179 yds/gm   (yds/gm for starts only, 7 starts)
Year 2: PER = 156.9, 8 starts, 285 yds/gm  (so far)

Hogan
Year 1: PER = 147.9, 181 yds/gm (yds/gm for starts only, 5 starts)
Year 2: PER = 151.6, 188 yds/gm
Year 3: PER = 145.8, 215 yds/gm
Year 4: PER = 171.0, 205 yds/gm

Year 2: PER = 170.0, 256 yds/gm
Year 3: PER = 169.7, 271 yds/gm

Herbert
