There has been plenty of drama at the quarterback position this season for Stanford. First Ryan Burns was announced to be the starter for the opener, but head coach David Shaw left a window open for Chryst by giving him drives to work with, saying that “both quarterbacks would get time” which lasted for more than one game. There always seemed to be an open discussion and flux at the quarterback position even when Burns was winning.
Now Chryst is the starter, and he can put away the competition with a win this weekend and cement himself as a starter this week.
