I included this at the end of my game recap, but I thought I'd post it here, because it's pretty surprising. Costello is climbing the Stanford record lists fairly quickly. This obviously has everything to do with the current structure of the offense, but it's impressive nonetheless.
- Saturday was Costello's seventh 300-yard passing game. Only Steve Stenstrom had more, with nine in 1993. Only Stenstrom (15), Elway, Todd Husak, and Luck have more career 300-yard games than Costello.
- Costello has passed for 3,198 yards this season, making him just the sixth Stanford quarterback to reach the 3,000-yard mark. With two games remaining, it wouldn't be a stretch for him break Stenstrom's single-season record of 3,627.
- Costello threw five touchdown passes on Saturday, something only six other Stanford quarterbacks have accomplished.
- Costello has thrown for 28 scores this season, with is third on the Stanford list, trailing just Andrew Luck's 2010 and '11 seasons, and his 42 career touchdowns rank seventh on the all-time list.
Please clear the field! The game is not over!
