Question: Where did the free agent quarterback acquired for the 2015 Buffalo Bills season play college football at?

The 1970 Buffalo Bills season was the 11th season for the club and their first in the National Football League.  The team looked to improve on its 4-10 record from 1969 and make the playoffs for the first time since 1966.  However, the Bills started out on the wrong foot, losing 4 of its first 5 games.  After winning 2 straight road games against the Patriots and Jets and suffering a blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills and Colts played to a 17-17 draw in week 9, Buffalo's first tie since 1968.  The Bills would then lose 5 straight to end the season and finish the season 3-10-1, in fourth place in the AFC East.  Their week 5 game against the Miami Dolphins would start a stage of futility in which the Bills would lose 20 straight games to the Dolphins.  The Bills would not beat the Dolphins at any point during the 70s and would not beat Miami again until 1980.  This would become known as "The Streak". <SEP> The 1984 Buffalo Bills season was the 25th season for the club and its 15th in the National Football League (NFL).  The team started the season with eleven consecutive losses before an upset home win over Dallas in Week 12.  The 1984 Bills gave up a team-record 454 points on defense, an average of more than 28 per game.  The Bills gave up 30+ points eight times and allowed fewer than 20 points in a game only three times all season.  The Bills also allowed 60 quarterback sacks, for a total of 554 yards, the most-ever at the time.  The Bills' 4,341 total yards gained was second-worst in the league in 1984 (only the Colts had fewer total yards gained).  The 1984 Bills are one of only two NFL teams to have been outscored by 25 points six different times during the season. <SEP>  He was the starting quarterback for the Virginia Tech Hokies football team from the start of the 2008 college football season through the 2011 Orange Bowl, the final game of the 2010 college football season for Virginia Tech. Tyrod Di'allo Taylor (born August 3, 1989) is an American football quarterback for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL).  He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft and served as the backup to starting quarterback Joe Flacco, including during the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII victory over the San Francisco 49ers.  Signed by Buffalo as a free agent in 2015, Taylor was named the starting quarterback for the Bills at the beginning of the 2015 NFL season. <SEP>  Ryan replaced Doug Marrone, who opted out of his contract on December 31, 2014 to take advantage of a contract loophole, fearing the Pegulas were going to fire him, hence the reason the Bills entered the 2015 season looking for a new head coach.  Despite the bold prediction made by Ryan at his introductory press conference, where he stated, “I’m not going to let our fans down.  I am not going to do that.  I know it’s been 15 years since the Bills made the playoffs. The 2015 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise’s 56th overall season as a football team, 46th in the National Football League, third under leadership of general manager Doug Whaley and first under new head coach Rex Ryan, who signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract on January 12, 2015 after having previously spent the past six seasons coaching the division-rival New York Jets, leading them to two straight AFC Championship games in 2009 and 2010, becoming the franchise’s 18th head coach and the fifth in the past seven years in the process.  Well, get ready, man, we’re going.  We are going,” the Bills were unable to make the playoffs in their first season with Ryan as head coach, finishing with a record of 8-8 (the team’s first since 2002), making it the 16th straight season without a playoff appearance, which became the longest active in major professional sports after Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays broke their 22-year playoff drought on September 25, 2015.  It was also the first full season under the ownership of Terry and Kim Pegula (whom also own the Buffalo Sabres), having purchased the Bills partway through 2014 after the death of longtime owner Ralph Wilson in March at the age of 95.  The Bills began their season with an open competition for the starting quarterback position after Kyle Orton, the starter for most of the 2014 campaign, retired during the offseason, so the team acquired free agent Tyrod Taylor, a former backup quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens, who won the competition over incumbent second-string quarterback EJ Manuel and trade acquisition Matt Cassel, the latter of whom the team later traded along with a seventh-round pick in 2017 to the Dallas Cowboys, in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2017.
