HERO Sports is counting down the 100 days until the kickoff of the 2018 college football season on Saturday, Aug. 25, with daily trivia. Each day, from May 17 through Aug. 24, we'll publish one college football trivia question.
Jalen Hurts missed an opportunity to win a national championship as Alabama's freshman starting quarterback in the 2017 title game vs. Clemson. A year later, even though he was benched at halftime and didn't finish the game under center, he was still the starting quarterback for the Tide's CFP National Championship win over Georgia.
If Alabama repeats as national champions with Hurts as the starting quarterback of record, the junior will join a small group of starting quarterbacks who multiple national titles.
Who are the two most recent starting quarterbacks to win multiple national championships?

Answer
A.J. McCarron and Tommie Frazier
A.J. McCarron led Alabama to the title in both 2011 (the 2012 BCS National Championship) and 2012 (2013 BCS National Championship). He was the first starting quarterback to accomplish the feat since Tommie Frazier did so during the 1994 and 1995 seasons. Like Hurts, Frazier — who missed most of the season with a leg injury — started the 1995 Orange Bowl but was replaced by Brook Berringer.
