Heisman Watch: Colt McCoy Edition

With the Heisman ceremony this Monday night lets take a closer look at Colt McCoy, Quarterback for Texas.


The Stats
291-375 (77.6 completion percentage)
3,445 yards throwing
32 passing TDs
7 interceptions
576 yards rushing
10 rushing TDs

Well McCoy has basically out-Tebowed Tebow this year. He has done it all for the Longhorns as they came so very close to the national title game. Texas doesn't really have any other stars to lean on. They don't have a 1,000 yard rusher (McCoy is their leading rusher) and they don't have any premier recievers. They have Colt McCoy and he lead them to a championship worthy season.

Pros:
-He has been great all year, not just the last few weeks.
-He beat Sam Bradford heads up
-He has been more valuable to his team than Tebow or Bradford

Cons:
-He didn't play for the Big XII title (not his fault really but it will hurt)
-He struggled in Texas' only loss to Texas Tech
-Lacks a signature Heisman moment (think Desmond Howard's pose or Bush's game against Fresno State)
