Sure, there's potential at some schools.

Jacob Eason could turn into a star after going through some freshman speed bumps at Georgia, Trevor Knight has looked good at times and could click with head coach Kevin Sumlin and offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone's system at Texas A&M and Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin has earned the benefit of the doubt to at least find somebody who can run the Crimson Tide offense.
