Can you name every starting QB in the NFL based only on where they went to School?

I know Fodor will love this one.

I was listening to The Herd on ESPN radio when Cowherd started making a point that NFL QBs don't go to elite college programs. He was saying (with the exception of USC and Penn State and Colin is a HUGE USC fan) NFL QBs come from programs where they have to work hard and get better. So he started listing off the schools where the top rated passers went, and I was trying to guess the QB. So that inspired this. Here is a list of the 32 schools where QBs went to school(I know all starters aren't assinged yet, but I went with who I thought will win) I'll have the answers Thursday

Auburn
Boston College

Cal
Delware
East Carolina
Eastern Illinois

    I had four that I didn't get right away... NC State, Penn State, Virginia, and one of the USC's.

    Nice quiz though. This should be a drinking game, and I'm pretty sure at some point in the recent past (Alec?) it has been... haha.

    Well, Noffke gave me a hint on the last one (Penn State), but I pretty much clean swept this list.

    One of the USC guys (Cassel) is injured. Quick. Tyler Thigpen... FROM??
