"I thought KC looked good. But I have to say, the ball just looks different out of Costello's hand."

Same here.  There was an obvious difference in release time between Costello and Chryst/Burns.  But, perhaps at the cost of more erratic accuracy.  The talent is there, but perhaps some more seasoning/discipline is needed.

A noticeable difference. I love that quick release. I know it's wishful thinking, but I'd like to see what he can do with the first string offense. 

Seriously, I kinda thought we should have sat Love after he reached 111 yards in 6 carries. And our first-string D was in there way too long IMHO.

This was a tough game to evaluate because Rice was so utterly inept on offense and physically overmatched on defense.  But it does look like our relative lack of lateral speed on defense can be exploited.

OTOH I'm going to enjoy watching Irwin and Wedington catch the ball this year.
