Sons of NFL veterans Josh McCown and Chad Pennington faced off in Frisco Bowl

In news that will likely make older fans suddenly feel ancient, two sons of notable NFL quarterbacks faced off last week during the Frisco Bowl between UTSA and Marshall. Owen McCown and Cole Pennington represented their fathers’ position at quarterback for their respective teams.

Ultimately the McCown family saw their son guide UTSA to take home the victory 35-17 over Pennington and Marshall. Both quarterbacks had shaky stat lines with McCown looking slightly better both on the tape and in the box score with 251 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Pennington did not turn the ball over in the game but also failed to find the end zone himself.

It’s far too early to tell if either quarterback will follow their fathers’ footsteps onto the next level given they are both just freshman signal callers, but if bloodlines tell us anything these two could be slinging it on Sunday just as well as any other Freshman in the country.
