Turner doesn't wow you with his talent, but is a very effective quarterback. Backup Jamarr Robinson didn't throw a pass last season.

10) Clemson Tigers

Coming out of the spring game the Tigers are not even sure who's going to be their starter.

Will it be Kyle Parker or Willie Korn? Big-time 2009 recruit Tajh Boyd is recovering from ACL surgery. Korn has been on campus since 2007, but hasn't distinguished himself.

I can say from attending Clemson's spring game, Parker is ahead of Korn at this time. Parker looked more comfortable in the pocket and made better reads. Korn was good, but wasn't anything special.

Coach Dabo Swinney has plenty to work out at this position before the season starts.

11) Virginia Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have just as many question marks at quarterback as the Clemson Tigers do.

With the Cavs new spread offense, who will the quarterback?

Is it Jameel Sewell; back after a one year suspension. He has started 22 games.

Is it Marc Verica, who started several games, but threw 16 interceptions?

Is it converted cornerback Vic Hall? Hall was a tremendous high school quarterback and looks to be the No. 1 guy at the moment.

12) Boston College Eagles

Even Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani says, "Quarterback is the biggest question mark on our team right now."

After being suspended by the team, sophomore Dominique Davis decided to transfer and redshirt freshman Justin Tuggle may be the starter this season.

The Eagles just signed 25 year old David Shinskie, as a quarterback to add some depth.

Spaziani has a real challenge at this position.
