Shedeur Sanders isn't the only son of a Pro Football Hall of Famer plying his wares in college football. E.J. Warner, the son of two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner, has been the starter for Temple and Rice, and will be moving on to a third program after Rice's recent coaching change.

The program fired Mike Bloomgren after six seasons, in which he posted a 24–52 record and led the Owls to two bowl games. He has been replaced by Scott Abell, the coach at Davidson since 2018, who employs a run-heavy spread-option attack that isn't an ideal fit for Warner, a pro-style passer.
