Colt McCoy 2007 Season in Review:
Colt McCoy started off the 2007 season with some Heisman
buzz, but a disappointing Longhorns season dimmed
hopes. McCoy was hampered by interceptions, but managed
a 22 to 18 TD/INT ratio. McCoy led the Horns to a 10-3 record
in 2007 and with the early departure of RB Jamal Charles,
McCoy will be counted on even more.
2007 highlights include:
- 4 TD passing performances against Iowa state and
Texas Tech.
- Rushed for 492 yards and 4 TD's.
- Completed 276 of 424 passes (65.1%) for 3,303
passing yards
