I can't think of an example of a college quarterback who had lost a starting job (not due to injury) and came back to success.  The most similar example I could think of is Tom Brady.  My recollection (incorrect) was that Henson had passed him on the depth chart and Brady won the job back.  Some checking indicates that Carr played Brady for the 1st quarter, Henson the 2nd quarter and then picked a QB for the 2nd half.  Brady eventually won the job outright. Hank probably has a better memory of this as I usually only see Michigan play during The Game.

I thought of an example and it also coincidentally involves the Skunkbears. This example involves a coaching/scheme change and a transfer. Ryan Mallett.  When Rich Rod took over the Skunkbear program, Mallett transferred to Arkansas and played well there.  Well enough to get drafted by the Patriots.
