Temple is not a Power 5 program.

Costello was always a better prospect then Chryst. Costello should have been the starter in 2017 from the Rice game on, and I am not saying that in hindsight This was my opinion at the time. Costello is more decisive, is a quicker athlete, is a more accurate passer, plays with passion that inspires his teammates, and when he played, he proved he was better than Chryst. He's only going to get better. And for the record, I also believe Davis Mills is better than Costello. Stanford should be in pretty good shape at QB the next few seasons at least.

You don't get any mulligans in college football. Game 1 is just as important as any other game if you want to pursue a National Championship. I will concede that winning by a smaller than expected margin isn't the end of the world in terms of chasing one. But losing absolutely would be.
