Time waits for no one, and we’ve already reached the point in the football timeline where the sons of former NFL quarterbacks Josh McCown and Chad Pennington are playing each other in a college bowl game.
In Tuesday night’s Frisco Bowl, UTSA and Marshall faced off with some very familiar last names attached to their starting quarterbacks.
UTSA is led by quarterback Owen McCown, son of Josh, while Marshall is led by quarterback Cole Pennington, son of Chad.
It’s just hard to fathom that the McCown and Pennington families already have college-age sons who are playing postseason football on ESPN.

We’ll see if either one of these legacy quarterbacks will get to follow in their dad’s footsteps to play in the pros one day.
For now, we’ll have the stark reality that Josh McCown and Chad Pennington have sons facing each other at quarterback in a bowl game. How time flies!
