Good job, Stanford QB fans!
You got it! This foursome won at least one start in 1983 and then again in 1986. Benjamin indeed was a back-up in 1983. Bonus question: Who was the other Stanford alum QB in 1986?
The other QB in 1986 was Babe Laufenberg who was on the Saints roster. Collectively in the 1980s, six Stanford alum QBs had 23 seasons with at least one winning start. At the other extreme, in the aughts, Trent Edwards was the only one with winning starts (2007-2009).

Maybe Dils and Schonert? (Alongside Plunkett and Elway)
I thought about Benjamin but I believe he was a pure back-up at this point and Montana’s back-up wasn’t starting!
