YOU CAN VOTE
By Danny Reagan / Abilene, Texas
Colt McCoy will again get serious consideration for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award this year.
Fans are already voting for their favorites at the official site - http://www.daveyobrien.com/index.asp
So far, the two hotshot QBs named Colt (Hawaii's Brennan is the other) aren't in the top three which show up on the home page. As of noon Thursday, McCoy is fourth in the voting with 231 votes.
Tech's Graham Harrell is in third with 311 votes. Florida's Tim Tebow and Air Force's Shaun Carney are first and second, respectively.
Looks like the good people of the Hill Country of Texas haven't taken the time to vote.
Extra Point: Here's what Mack said yesterday about McCoy's leadership against TCU:
"The hardest thing to do for a college football player is put the last play behind him, good or bad, and go to the next one. In both of those cases, we thought they were tough breaks and great plays by TCU, but at the same time, he takes things personally. He is really hard on himself. He walked into the dressing room like he couldn't believe either one of those, but let's go on now; we're going to win the game.
"I don't think I have ever been more impressed with him than the first half at Texas Tech, a place where he knew most of their players, and he has a lot of friends there that are in school in West Texas. It was really important to him. For it to start wrong and him turn it, and I thought the same thing the other night.
"There won't ever be any more pressure on him than throwing two interceptions in the last three minutes of the half and for him to play a near perfect second half. We are really impressed with the way he turned it."
