Mack's Reverse Psychology

by 3llonghorn on Nov 7, 2006 10:58 PM CST

Mack the Honest Abe, Mack the Ego Manager, or Mack the Zen Master?

When asked whether Colt deserves Heisman consideration, did Mack:

A) Answer that freshman don't deserve the Heisman because it's the honest answer.

B) Answer that that freshman don't deserve the Heisman because it keeps the pressure off Colt.

C) Answer that freshman don't deserve the Heisman because you actually want Colt to get some media play, and the best way to do that is to stir up some talk and initiate rebuttals by national columnists???????

Even if it wasn't the intent, C seems to be working - http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/9785653

McCoy and his padded stats

Lots of well-documented buzz around about Colt and gaining some momentum towards NYC. However, I'm tired of hearing in the comments on other sites about Mack running up the score and padding his players' stats. So for some objectivity, if I counted correctly, Colt's numbers in the 4th Qtr this year:

North Texas - DNP
tOSU - 7/12, 82 yards
Rice - DNP
Iowa State - 1/1, 7 yards
Sammy St - DNP in 2nd half
OU - 0/2, 0 yards
Baylor - 3/4, 65 yards, TD
NU - 4Q comeback
Tech - 4Q comeback
Okie St - 2/2, 31 yards (incl 1 shovel pass)

Doesn't really look like padding stats to me. And let's not forget, he is still in his first season.

Help spread the facts to those on the outside.
