In Colt we trust...

I think one of the more interesting back stories to the upcoming 2008 Texas Longhorns football campaign is what an average year for Colt McCoy will do in terms of re-writing the UT record books. Before anyone makes any quips, yes an average year will mean a certain number of interceptions as well as the great possibility of 10 wins vs. more. However, an average statistical year for Colt will have him owning career records in attempts, completions, and yardage in just his third year. In addition, if he excels (as well as the defense) against this incredibly difficult conference schedule and they win 11 games, he then moves into a tie for career wins with Vince at 30 wins. Regardless of how they finish in the win columns (I mean 10 vs. 11), Colt, by the time he graduates, will deservedly become the overall statistical bar by which all future UT quarterbacks will be judged.

statistical bar != bar

Computer science joke aside, I don’t think anyone will confuse McCoy for Vince here. Vince averaged something like 42,000 rushing yards a game (Wikipedia.org,”Hyperbole”,[August 2008]). There’s something to be said for starting as a (RS) Freshman and being given the keys to one of the finest wide receiving corps that UT has ever seen.

If we win 11 games...

this season, just by virtue of the strength of our schedule, I strongly believe that Colt will be up for the Heisman. There is no way any of the “big five” quarterbacks in the Big 12 win 10+ games without serious consideration for the Heisman. If Colt plays well enough for that consideration (read: if he becomes some kind of sorcerer), then I think it’s time to start talking about him setting bars.

I hope you are right.

For all of our sakes. My sanity cannot take another 2007 season. But I am always up for another 2005 season. Anyone? anyone?
