Colt McCoy's father says the freshman quarterback is feeling better should be ready to go by the Longhorns' bowl game (whichever one they end up in). McCoy was initially injured on a quarterback sneak against Kansas State and then reinjured by a cheap shot from Texas A&M's Kellen Heard and a hit from Michael Bennett.
Pops also wonders the same thing a lot of Texas fans were Friday:
Brad McCoy also said he thinks his son's arm strength was off against A&M and wondered if it was a lingering effect from a stinger suffered against Kansas State two weeks earlier.
"I've coached him his whole life and I just didn't think he had his best stuff," Brad McCoy said. "He's so accurate, and he doesn't throw short very often, and it seemed like his passes got shorter and shorter as the game wore on. That's just Dad's opinion."
McCoy should not start the bowl game unless he's 100%. Against A&M he started off well but quickly tired and wasn't near the player he had been all season. Colt's a gutty, smart kid but he doesn't have the arm strength to make all the throws unless he's completely healthy.
Hopefully Brad McCoy is right, because rumors of an impending transfer by true freshman QB Jevan Snead are picking up steam. If the coaches know he's gone to they bring him to a bowl game? If not who is the Horns' back up? Does Mack Brown consider burning Sherrod Harris' redshirt if McCoy can't go? It's been a rough couple weeks for Texas fans.
