Some of the biggest losses in college football's opening week likely won't be reflected on the scoreboard.
Several teams in recent seasons have lost starting quarterbacks the first couple of weeks and spent the remainder of the year dealing with QB issues.
Air Force, Boston College, BYU, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Syracuse all lost quarterbacks to season-ending injuries by mid-September last year. Ohio State won the 2014 national title despite losing its top two quarterbacks to injuries.
"They're the only position that takes punishment without being able to give it back, and (they're) being in exposed positions," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said.
