I don't know why so many people are putting such stock on the Ducks being bad last year. There's more than a half-season's evidence that in fact they're solid, or at worst only below average. They're fourth in the conference in yards per attempt allowed. They're first in the country in sacks per game. Chryst (and Costello) performing well is a good indicator for the health of the passing offense.

Now, of course, it may be just blip. Certainly we've seen good games mixed with bad for Chryst. I myself wouldn't be surprised to see him go out and struggle against the Beavers in the next game. But that doesn't take away or diminish his performance Saturday, which was -- lest I repeat myself -- excellent against quality opposition.
