Much like in the NFL, college football has a quarterback obsession. So much attention is focused on the QB1s, whether it's for the Heisman Trophy race, the College Football Playoff field or the most desirable draft prospects.
There's nothing wrong with that, and coaches know their ability to contend for championships often hinges on who starts under center. But coaches also are quick to point out that players in other roles are critical to their teams' success and ultimately in constructing championship rosters. These players are truly luxuries, such as a capable backup quarterback, a powerful third-down back or a linebacker who can not only crash on run plays, but also drop back in coverage.
