Colt McCoy – Quarterback for the Texas Longhorns

By Danny Reagan / Abilene, Texas

Not the kind of record Colt McCoy was after - 4 interceptions.

Not the kind of ending (walking to the locker room with 4 minutes left in the game) he anticipated, either.

Those picks meant 20 points (the difference in the game) for Kansas State, of course, but a lot of stuff combined for that 41-21 loss.

The Horns were beaten badly on special teams, didn't offer enough protection from the offensive line, looked unfocused in most phases of the game, et cetera, etc.

Also, someone probably leaked to the players (who were already looking ahead to the Red River Rivalry) that Oklahoma (also looking ahead) was upset by Colorado.

Bottom line - UT was outplayed. It happens. The team will shake it off and put full focus on the Sooners. Colt has certainly shown he can do that.

P.S. The most ominous shadow that fell over DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium as the skies threatened to unload as time ran out was the sound of boos. Hey, the fans need to shake it off as well!
