Ok, so by our count there have been 9 black quarterbacks that have one national titles. Thats alot more than i thought. Given that stevens guy from minnesota was the first in like 1960, that means 9 titles in 50 years. But thats not really accurate either bc im sure southern football wasnt integrated enough to have that happen pre 1970's. Having 4 win(ward,martin,leak,young) in the past 17 years isnt bad.

Yeah, 9 is a pretty good number- more than I would've though as well, especially given their relative newness to the position.

You note that football was integrated in 60s/70s, but blacks as the signal callers for premier level programs is a post 70s phenomenon. This makes 9 NCs more impressive.

You left out Tommie Frazier, who won 2(I think).
