Myself included, not many people expected true freshman Owen McCown to get the starting quarterback nod against UCLA in Week 4. But that’s exactly what we’re about to witness, according to Brian Howell of BuffZone.
Last week at Minnesota, McCown threw for just over 50 yards in his lone drive during garbage time. Apparently, that was all Karl Dorrell needed to see for his rookie QB to surpass, at least for now, Brendon Lewis and JT Shrout.
McCown, the son of former NFL QB Josh McCown, is a left-handed slinger who can also run a bit, although his smaller size presents a few concerns in that department.
We’ll see what happens.
Kickoff is at noon MT on the Pac-12 Network.
Per a source, true freshman Owen McCown will start at QB for Colorado today vs. UCLA. The son of former NFL QB Josh McCown, Owen took almost all of the 1st-team snaps this week. He will be the 3rd different starter in 4 games. #cubuffs
