Patrick Edmund Cowan (born March 23, 1986 in Surrey, British Columbia) was the starting quarterback for the UCLA Bruins football team after starter Ben Olson was injured in the middle of the 2006. Cowan is a redshirt sophomore. After taking over, and going 3-5, Cowan played just well enough for UCLA's embattled Offensive Coordinator, who was later fired, to keep starting him. Wikipedia
