My eval of Chryst lines up with dabigv's.  But I'm hopeful he's made significant progress, though the open practice report doesn't substantiate that.  Keller may need to play the whole game vs. Rice just to get in more live reps.

The largest issue in my mind is the OL, with the QB second. Unfortunately, unless both are much worse than we expect, we won't learn much against Rice. The coaches will undoubtedly learn more than the fans, but I suspect only a bit more.  We won't know what we have until we see USC.
