Has a true freshman QB ever won a national championship?

As a college football enthusiast, I couldn't help but wonder, has a true freshman QB ever won a national championship? After doing some research, I found out that indeed, there is one exceptional case. In 2017, Tua Tagovailoa, a true freshman quarterback from the University of Alabama, led his team to victory in the College Football Playoff National Championship. It's quite a rare feat, as most freshmen QBs need time to adjust to the college level of play. So, it's safe to say that Tua's accomplishment is truly outstanding and worth remembering in college football history.
