What a difference a week makes

Texas is in the BCS Championship game after the win over Nebraska, but McCoy has dropped in ESPN's Heisman poll. McCoy completed just 20-of-36 passes for 184 yards and three interceptions. He did rush for a touchdown, but will that be enough? We will find out this Saturday.

McCoy named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year

When the Big 12 announced their All-Big 12 Football awards this week, Colt McCoy became the fourth Texas player to be named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

He was also named a Manning Award finalist.  The award is given to honor the nation's best quarterback, and the winner will be announced January 14th.

Colt moves into the #1 spot according to HeismanPundit.com

HeismanPundit.com has moved Colt McCoy into the number 1 spot after this week's win over Texas A&M. The senior passed for 304 yards and four touchdowns to go along with a career-high 175 rush yards during the Thanksgiving night match-up.

He took the lead over Stanford's Toby Gerhart, with seven first-place votes (out of 13) and 58 points according to HeismanPundit. The ESPN Heisman Watch agreed with 10 of their 15 "experts" giving McCoy the 1st place vote. Even the NY Times has posted an article discussing McCoy's run for the trophy.

This Saturday the Longhorns take on Nebraska in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship. The game will be played at 7p.m. in Arlington, TX at the Cowboys Stadium. This game will be televised on ABC.

McCoy sets NCAA record with 43rd win

"I always love winning," McCoy said. "I'm just so thankful. It's really special."

Texas secures spot in Big 12 title game

McCoy completed 32 of 41 passes for 396 yards and four touchdowns to make his final college home game one to remember. The four year starter has put the Longhorns in good position to play for the BCS national championship.

McCoy currently owns 45 school records, and moves closer each week to becoming the first Longhorn to win the Heisman since Ricky Williams in 1998.

He is one of just five quarterbacks to pass for at least 2,500 yards in four seasons. He ranks fifth in total offense, 12th in passing yardage and seventh in touchdown passes for his career.

Win over Oklahoma State keeps McCoy on track for the Heisman

Texas's 41-14 victory over Oklahoma State makes the Longhorns 8-0 this season, and brings Colt McCoy one week closer to the Heisman.


Although still sitting at #4 in some polls, USA has him at #3, and McCoy has even jumped to the #1 spot in others.



Oklahoma State may have been the toughest game left on the Longhorn schedule, and it will be interesting to see how the next few weeks play out. Next up: UCF at home on Saturday at 11am CT.

Listen to McCoy's Tuesday interview with Galloway and company on ESPN radio talking about the season so far and looking ahead at the weeks to come.

Next up - Oklahoma State

This week the Texas Longhorns and Colt McCoy take on the Oklahoma State Comwboys. The game will be covered by ABC and ESPN2 at 8pm ET.

As of today, the ESPN Heisman watch has McCoy ranked 4th - which is one spot up from where they had him last week. That Heisman watch has Mark Ingram the RB from Alabama ranked number one, but take my poll to weigh-in if you think this year's Heisman will go to anyone outside the QB position.

Fans of McCoy can also cast their vote for him to win the 2009 Davey O'Brien Award, honoring the nation's top quarterback.
