This seems like classic "if you have two QBs, you actually have none" territory. Hypothetically, let's say (in a roughly equivalent) situation in 2015 Hogan wasn't able to play against Oregon State after his SC performance. For the sake of our hypothetical, Chryst performs well -- not gangbusters, but well -- i.e. the same level that Costello played at. Would we have a problem if the coaches went back to Hogan? No, because we know and knew that Hogan was an established, good quarterback.

Therefore, what this decision implicitly shows is the coaches' lack of confidence in Chryst. If you have a lack of confidence in one QB, and you have a youngish QB who by your own public assessment has done well, by god, go with the youngish QB! This seems less than hard.
