Yeah, could be. But, I dunno, did we see Burns at all in the second half? Maybe to do a run or something?

We did. Saw Burns come out the very first play of the half, if I recall correctly. He lost two yards when he read the zone-read incorrectly.

Well, he gained two yards. In that case, not sure he read the zone-read incorrectly, but the UCLA end was definitely on the ball for the play.

I think Shaw has a Burns package that mostly involves the zone-read and maybe some bootlegs. That is what we'll see of Burns going forward.

Chryst/Costello will compete for the main QB job, and I assume that Costello has the inside track at the moment.

In 2012 Shaw didn't exactly bring in Hogan slowly; Hogan had a run/pass option package that was used a couple of times. Hogan had a single career passing attempt before taking over during the Colorado game. He did have 7 rushing attempts (which only gained 18 yards total) - which probably means he had been in for 8 plays. I don't think he had ever even quarterbacked a series.

Last year was a little different, as I think Burns didn't win the starting job decisively. So, initially Chryst was coming in for a series a game, then had extended time in the blow outs versus the Washington schools. I don't think that was bringing Chryst along slowly so much as not being sure of the choice of starter.
