Colt McCoy, 2007 Heisman Favorite?
The AOL FanHouse is running a series of posts with their favorites for the 2007 Heisman Trophy and they think Colt McCoy is a real contender. Here’s why our top guy is on their list:
McCoy’s passing stats were on par with Troy Smith and Brady Quinn’s and he was leading his team like a grizzled veteran. He led the Horns to come from behind victories against Nebraska and Texas Tech. Before that fateful QB sneak against Kansas State, McCoy was setting team and national records and had the Horns in position to defend their national title. Imagine the numbers he could’ve put up if offensive coordinator Greg Davis hadn’t kept the training wheels on for so long.
Before his injury McCoy was one of the nation’s top QB’s and was still able to set all time passing records for the University of Texas. If he can continue to improve and keep alive behind a rebuilt offensive line, he’ll put up big numbers and could be in the Heisman race for the next three seasons.
