ON A ROLL

JUST IN: Jim Vertuno's story about Colt's post-OU speech >>.
I knew my Red Raiders would come through against those Aggies!
The Big 12 South Division representative may not be known until the final second of the final game of the regular season. Sure, OU seems to have the edge, but Tech or Texas could come through.
Speaking of coming through, Colt McCoy is on a two-game blazing streak that is only rivaled by his back-to-back performance last season against Tech and Oklahoma State.
In the past two games - and remember, except for two plays that OU game could've easily been a "W" - Colt is 42-of-56 (75%!) for 622 yards and 6 TDs. And it's not unrealistic to think he could continue that hot hand against Baylor and Nebraska - if he has the kind of protection he enjoyed Saturday.
If the Longhorns go undefeated in their final three games of the season (at OSU, Tech and at A&M), it'll be one of their finest moments. When they meet OSU and the Aggies, those teams will be coming off a two-week rest, and the Raiders will have played Baylor the week before.
It won't be just Colt who'll need a hot hand for the Longhorns during that time.
