Buffalo Bills unsure where starting quarterback E.J. Manuel went to college (Photo)

It’s apparently just a matter of time until the Buffalo Bills name E.J. Manuel their starting quarterback, but for their sake, they might want to double check to make sure they have the right guy.
Manuel solidified his potential starting spot last night, going 6 for 6 in route to the Bills victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Well, we think that guy was E.J. Manuel.
See, an observant Twitter user who attended the 20-16 victory last evening noticed something funny in the game program. What caught his eye? Manuel’s college of choice, which according to the Buffalo Bills program suggested that he attended San Diego State University. Of course, Manuel, the 16th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft didn’t attend San Diego State, not even close. The 6’4 Virginia Beach native actually went to college across the country at Florida State, which somebody in the Bills editing department seemingly overlooked.
Given punter Shawn Powell (a fellow Florida State product) was named under Manuel in the program, I’m not sure how they were even ordering the players, though it’s an embarrassing goof either way.
