FRISKY COLT
You may have noticed that the last couple of photos on this blog have featured Colt McCoy running instead of passing.
In the last three games he has rushed for 149 yards on 25 carries - almost 6 yards per tote.
The rush, whether planned or out of necessity (keeping him from getting clobbered), has been just the thing to lessen the pounding. Sure he still gets tackled after taking off on one of those runs, but frankly those hits look less severe than the ones he takes from the blitz - especially right after he's thrown the ball and is the most vulnerable.
You may also have noticed that he didn't have a TD pass for the first time since last year's Aggie game. That makes only the third game out of 22 he's played where he hasn't thrown for paydirt. The other, of course, was last season's Kansas State game when the injury on the QB sneak knocked him out of the game early.
