With the exception of two games on Thursday night this week, the first full month of the 2016 college football season is in the books. And as expected, plenty of players are having a breakout year at the quarterback position. Whether it’s a freshman like Florida State’s Deondre Francois, Texas’ Shane Buechele or Alabama’s Jalen Hurts or a senior like Nebraska’s Tommy Armstrong, the emergence of quarterbacks in a breakout year are going to play a key role in the races to win conference championships or claim a spot in the top four for the playoff rankings.
