Naw, he's your QB and they had an excellent record coming in, so you have to stick with the girl that brought you to the dance.
Besides, there's not too many QB's that will play well being under almost constant pressure from a defense that features rushing just 3 and dropping everyone else back into coverage. That one kid for Udub was virtually unblockable.
I did an unscientific research on the Apple Cup by comparing it to other randomly selected, long standing rivalry games. UW beats WSU in the Apple Cup 68% of the time (72-32-6), including the last 5 straight. No other noteworthy rivalry that I looked at comes close to that one sidedness. Think that Alabama has dominated Auburn over the decades? They beat Auburn just 55% of the time. You would think that USC gets the best of UCLA, but the Condomheads win just 61% of the time. Notre Dame beats USC 56% of the time. The series leader in Oregon-Oregon State, Cal-Stanford, Ohio State-Michigan, are all in the mid 50% region, making it an average margin of around 5-6% vs. UW's 18%.
I'm not trash talking as I honestly don't have a horse in the race, but I wonder, at what point do the results get so one sided that you quit calling it a rivalry?
