"Taylor Swift of CFB": Cole Kramer's fiancé goes viral after ESPN's "ridiculous" coverage of Minnesota QB's girlfriend

Cole Kramer of the Minnesota Gophers was in the spotlight during the recent Quick Lane Bowl game against the Bowling Green Falcons. This was not due to the Gophers' seventh straight Bowl win, but rather due to the focus on his fiance Katie Miller.

The bowl game was aired on ESPN and the broadcast kept cutting back to Miller who was watching from the stands. This led to reactions from college football fans, who deemed it "ridiculous" and "Taylor Swift-like treatment," a reference to the coverage Swift gets during Kansas City Chiefs games in the NFL.

A fan claimed that these 15 seconds of fame could be Kramer's chance to get into the NFL.

A few fans were upset that the broadcast allegedly focused more on Miller than the bowl game.

One fan felt that the Gophers (6-7) taking on the Falcons (7--6) was not an exciting matchup.

Another fan had some advice for Katie Miller:

Katie Miller is the reason why Cole Kramer played in the Quick Lane Bowl

According to their wedding website, Cole and Katie grew up about 15 minutes from one another, but only got to know each other once they had started college 1,648 miles away.

Miller was a major reason why the fifth-year quarterback even played in the Quick Lane Bowl.

According to the broadcast, Kramer was supposed to start a sales and marketing business with his soon-to-be wife in Arizona, before Athan Kaliakmanis entered the transfer portal.

Miller then convinced Kramer to suit up for one last time and he was able to end the season on a high note with a bowl win to his name.

Gophers HC PJ Fleck had a few jokes about the whole situation in his post-game conference:

"We thanked Katie for allowing him to come back, and Katie made it very clear ‘I was the one who told him to come back right away.’ So she made it clear, we know who wears the pants in that family. What an ending to his career. We’re just really thankful for him, he gets to leave a champion." (h/t Fox9 KSMP)

Miller herself was happy Kramer ended his college career with a win:

"Absolutely, I knew it would be worth it from the beginning. I feel like I was the one who was a little more spontaneous in telling him absolutely you should go do it," Miller said. "I had every bit of faith that he would get the job done, so I’d say it was worth it." (h/t Fox9 KSMP)
