Shaw fears being wrong more than anything else.  Play Chryst... hope he works through it.

But, here's a better idea:  Start Costello. 
1) If he plays worse, then bring in Chryst.  SHAW WAS RIGHT.
2) If Costello plays better (like vs UCLA, AZST) then SHAW LOOKS BRILLIANT for switching to Costello !
And, if the team plays better than against ORST without Love, then Costello deserves to start. 

And, the QB situation at WAST may be MORE problematic than ours with Falk getting yanked last week for poor play. 
Hilinski came in and went 45 of 61 for a monster 500 yds, but threw 4 INTs and lost the two fumbles. 
Who does LEACH start?  He probably starts Falk, on a short leash, and brings in Hilinski quickly. 
Bottom line:  Let's get six turnovers.

Falk has already been announced as the starter.

As for your first assertion, has it occurred to anyone that Shaw may have sincerely believed that Chryst, despite his obvious struggles, still gave us the best chance to win Thursday night?  Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's right about it, but I think that is what he believed.  Because you know what Shaw hates more than being wrong?  Losing.
