I was at the game and yes Phaup won 50% of his draws, Varello was not as hot as he had been the past few games. I was actually at the Navy/Army game the week before and the Navy fogo dominated in that contest, so while he has been under 50% for the season he's either improving or had some better luck lately.
As for Phaup perhaps he is wearing down some? Again this past week if it became a scrum he seems to take a beating physically. I think the wing play is one area this team can continue to improve. Just my opinion but when they're not winning them cleanly to me the wings often look out of position or they're not reacting as quick as the other team. I did notice against Navy that they went away from the double poles on the wings early in the game, if they had been doing that the past few games I missed it.
