'Living the life of a coach': Inside crazy world of college football transfer quarterbacks

The success of transfer quarterbacks can make or break a college football program. But how do teams get their new signal-callers up to speed?

Southern California lost a transfer quarterback to Ole Miss, which lost a quarterback to Central Florida, which lost a quarterback to Oklahoma.

Oklahoma gained that quarterback from UCF and another from Pittsburgh but saw second-year star Caleb Williams leave for USC and former starter Spencer Rattler depart for South Carolina. Pittsburgh lost one quarterback to the Sooners but gained another from USC.

Ohio State had a quarterback transfer to Texas, which had a quarterback transfer to Nebraska, which had a quarterback transfer to Kansas State.

Texas A&M lost a quarterback to Auburn but gained another from LSU, which recruited a possible starter from Arizona State, which then pulled in a transfer from Florida.
