If Chryst had Costello's results and numbers, would we be calling for Chryst?  Likely.

I dunno, Costello isn't really playing badly. He's had a throw or two that were bad, but most of them have at least given the receiver a chance. Hard to tell exactly if the plays getting blown up are on him, Shaw, or WSU playing well.

I counted three “bad” throws.  First throw was batted down at the LOS.  He had another throw almost intercepted, where JJAW worked as DB.  He also had a bad throw on the third down on the last drive, where he threw it behind Schultz.

He had one throw where there was an uncalled PI.  I don’t know about the fifth incompletion.  He’s also taken two sacks, which is one more than any Stanford QB has taken in several weeks.

All in all, kind of a “meh”  day for Costello.  I think if Chryst were starting, yes a lot of people would be calling for Costello.  We haven’t helped him by giving him favorable downs to throw in,  We have to see how and whether he bounces back.  That was one problem with Chryst; when bad Chryst showed up, he tended to have trouble bouncing back, except for the last drive against OSU.  I am hoping Costello has a shorter memory.
