Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent had just run for his second touchdown in as many games Saturday when, sitting in the Soldier Field locker room, he texted his friend Mike McCook. McCook’s father, Ernie, was Bagent’s coach when he was a record-setting passer at Div. II Shepherd University.
“I was just texting [Mike],” Bagent said with a smile Saturday. “Saying, ‘You know, it’s a shame coach didn’t run me more in college.’”
