In a unique twist, the Frisco Bowl saw the sons of former NFL quarterbacks, Josh McCown and Chad Pennington, face off. Owen McCown and Cole Pennington, sons of Josh McCown and Chad Pennington respectively, were the starting quarterbacks for UTSA and Marshall. The game was a high-scoring affair with UTSA leading 21-17 at halftime. Owen McCown, formerly a quarterback for Colorado, contributed significantly to UTSA's lead with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Cephus.
Since the start of the 2006 season, 25 different quarterbacks have thrown passes in a game for Colorado. Only one of them has participated in a bowl game victory at some point in their college career: Owen McCown, tonight for UTSA. #cubuffs
