At this point, my vote would be to do whatever is best for next year.

As many Cardboarders have noted, if enough players choose to stay after this year (Holder, Meeks, Irwin, Schultz, Phillips, some others) there is a returning experience and star talent alignment of historic proportions possible next year.

Assuming we win at least 7, win a bowl, and beat Cal, I'd be willing to sacrifice some this year to optimize for next year.

Is the best move to give experience to Costello now or to hope for a peaking 5th year Chryst next year? Would putting Costello in now give him needed experience, or is it risky and dangerous to put in a less experienced qb now given our current issues? Would we be sending Costello into a Luck-Colts type of situation?
