SC continually harassed Stanford by batting down passes at the line, whether Chryst or Costello. In the September matchup, Rasheem Green and Uchenna Nwosu had 7 passes broken up against Chryst. So Costello improved (in that respect) relative to Chryst, but certainly not to an "adequate" level.
I imagine that's at least partially on the Stanford OL, which was vastly improved relative to September but I would score the matchup of OL vs. front 7 in SC's favor on both sides of the ball. Hard to win if both lines are getting beat.
