A few hours later in a night kickoff another school started a black QB in a conference game. Name this QB and team.

the answer:
in addition to Holloway, Mississippi State's Melvin Barkum was State's starting quarterback in a 14-3 loss to Auburn in Jackson later that evening.

Intredasting. Didn't show up on any of my searches. I guess starting a few hours earlier, Holloway got all the pub.
The University of Tennessee has a freshman athlete named Condredge Holloway you are likely to hear about next fall. Only 5'11" and 170, the 18-year-old Holloway is an athletic genius who deliberated for four months before turning down a reported $100,000 to sign a professional baseball contract with the Montreal Expos. Tennessee's coaches won't commit themselves this early, but all the evidence indicates that young Holloway will be Tennessee's No. 1 quarterback next season. He will also be the first black quarterback in Tennessee's history.
Deeper in the South, Mississippi State has a 6'1", 180-pound black freshman football player from Biloxi named Melvin Barkum. Barkum, a cousin of the Detroit Lions' Lem Barney, turned down scholarships from more than 50 major schools, including Notre Dame, Michigan State and half the Southeastern Conference, in order to attend Mississippi State. He, too, is a quarterback and is expected to be No. 1 man at the position as a sophomore.
The University of Alabama does not have a black quarterback on deck, but it does have three outstanding black players on its varsity basketball team—Wendell Hudson, Raymond Odums and Ernest Odom, all from Birmingham—and this year ' Bama almost certainly will have three blacks and two whites on the floor at times. Moreover, the Tide has a 6'5" black freshman named Charles Cleveland, who was considered one of the best high school players in the country.
