Photos: A look at Georgia Bulldogs starting QBs over the years.

JOE COX (2009) - Cox (14), like D.J. Shockley before him, will be a one-year QB, having waited in a backup role behind former starter Matthew Stafford.

BUCK BELUE (1978-81) - Belue (8, left) helped lead the Dogs to the 1980 National Championship, back-to-back SEC titles in 1980 and 1981, and consecutive Sugar Bowl appearances.

DAVID GREENE (2001-04)- Greene finished his college career as the winningest quarterback in NCAA Division I history with 42 wins in four years and led the Dogs to a 2002 Sugar Bowl win.

MATTHEW STAFFORD (2006-08) - The No. 1 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft led UGA to a rout of Hawaii in the 2008 Sugar Bowl.

D.J. SHOCKLEY (2005) - Shockley spent all but one year as David Greene's backup, but in his one starting year (2005) he quarterbacked UGA to the 2006 Sugar Bowl, ultimately losing to W. Virginia.

FRAN TARKENTON (1957-60) - The future Minnesota Vikings legend led UGA to the 1959 SEC Championship and a 1960 Orange Bowl win.

JOE TERESHINSKI III (2006) - A third-generation Dogs player, Tereshinski played in six games of the 2005 season and started the '06 season, injured his ankle, and was replaced by Matthew Stafford.

ERIC ZEIER (1990-93) - The Heisman Trophy candidate was only the third quarterback in NCAA Division I history to throw for more than 11,000 yards in his career. He's now a color radio analyst for UGA away games.

QUINCY CARTER (1998-2000) - Highly recruited out of SW DeKalb High, Carter had an impressive freshman season followed by lackluster sophomore and junior campaigns. He was named SEC Freshman of the Year in 1998.

MIKE BOBO (1994-97) - Now UGA's offensive coordinator, Bobo has tutored four Dogs starting QBs: David Greene, D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford and Joe Cox.
