CLOSE AGAIN
If you thought Colt McCoy was close to Sam Bradford and then Chase Daniel in stats that count, Zac Robinson from Oklahoma State is even closer.
Here are the current rankings from ESPN: 1. David Johnson (Tulsa) 212.82; 2. Bradford (OU) 192.22; 3. Robinson (OSU) 191.93; 4. Colt 190.76; and 5. Daniel (Mo.) 175.80.
As anyone who has ever clicked on the "Stats" link above knows, Colt is completing 81.2% of his passes this season (160-of-197) for 1,894 yards, 19 TDs and only 3 picks. Robinson, the 6-3, 210-pound junior (who is NOT from Texas) is completing 70.1% of his passes (94-of-134) for 1,488, 14 TDs and 4 INTs.
Wait, you say ... that's close? Wait, you say again ... he's above Colt in the national QB power ratings? How can that be?
That's a lot of questions for a Wednesday morning, but let me just remind you that Colt thrives on competition, especially if that competition is thought by some people to be better than he is.
One more thing ... ESPN has a poll that asks who should be considered for the Heisman (sorry, I mentioned the H-word) if Colt and Texas falter. Why don't you go on there and vote for Graham Harrell of Texas Tech, thank you very much.
