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.
