Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles made his first career start Sunday, replacing the injured Michael Vick against Washington. In the process, Foles ended one of football's most unfathomable streaks: Before Sunday, no quarterback from Arizona, Foles's alma mater, had started an NFL game since Bill Demory did so in 1973.

The Wildcats have since tried Jim Krohn, Alfred Jenkins and Dan White, among others. None got an NFL snap.

Meanwhile, Arizona's Pac-12 Conference rival Southern California has three quarterbacks who started on Sunday. But Purdue may be the ultimate Quarterback U.

Since the 1970 merger, quarterbacks from Purdue have started 724 NFL games, easily the most of any major-conference program. Washington ranked second with 623.
