8.  Costello is slightly raw, but if given some fresh air, could lead us to great things as the year progresses.

I'm torn between the excitement and potential show by Costello against a clearly over matched Rice team and the reluctance to crown a new leader. He had the highest QB rating but only threw 9 passes. How much of Rice's starting D was on the field and with how much passion did they play at the end of a squashing? And then I hate to second guess Coach Shaw who clearly knows a heck of a lot more than me about the players, team dynamics, and what it takes to succeed at this level.

Still, I hope he gets the promotion over Burns to QB2 and Shaw finds some time to work him into the next few games. It's too bad we don't have another tune up game before heading down to 'SC.

Actually he had the lowest PER.  He did have the highest rating by ESPN's total QBR.
