McCoy has opportunity to STEEL the show

The Texas Longhorns will honor Colt McCoy in 2 weeks with making him the last Longhorn to ever wear #12 for the burnt orange.
Texas announced yesterday that Colt McCoy will be the 6th Longhorn to have his jersey retired after the college standout won more games as a starter (45) than any college quarterback in the history of the NCAA. McCoy also won 3 player of the year awards during his 4 years as a starter at UT.

McCoy will begin his starting QB career in the NFL much like he did in college football; with a lot of doubts.

McCoy will reportedly receive the start for the Browns this Sunday after Wallace and Delhomme fell to injury. McCoy will have a real chance to prove a lot of the nay sayers wrong if he can make some throws when called upon, and avoid any critical mistakes.

Basically he will have to revert back to his mentality in 2006 when he was forced to follow in the legendary footsteps of Vince Young.

McCoy would be wise to call his Longhorn buddy Vince Young to get some advice on the Steelers. Young could probably tell McCoy that they're one mean elite defense.

Vince Young's game V the Steelers this season is the only blemish on the quarterbacks stat sheet. Young went 7/10 66yds 0tds & the only 2 interceptions he has thrown this season. Young's performance was so bad, that Titans coach Jeff Fisher was forced to bench Young to avoid seeing him seriously injured.

If McCoy can manage to defeat the Steelers, he could build the foundation for a real future in the NFL. But that will not be an easy task, because the Steelers defense is a lot better than the Big 12 defenses McCoy faced during his 4yrs on the 40 acres of UT.
