Colt's stats first 4 games vs. VY

[Tan Ted Deki]

Don't freak out in response to this. It's not meant to blaspheme or imply anything of significance. We all know who Texas has played and that VY played Ohio St. in game two of 2005. But... I was curious so I put these #'s together. I just thought it was interesting and thought I'd share.

VY (2005) vs. CM (2008)
stats through first 4 games of season.

Passing
VY = 54/82 (66%) 780 Yds (9.5 per) 7 TD - 5 Int (161.7 Rating)
CM = 80/100 (80%) 1018 Yds (10.2 per) 14 TD - 1 Int (209.7 Rating)

Rushing
VY = 48 - 310 (6.5 Avg) - 2 TD
CM = 34 - 278 (8.2 Avg) - 4 TD

Regardless of however you adjust for weak competition, Colt is playing at a very high level. Here's to continued improvement and to a great next three games.

Oh, and in case you're curious. VY's numbers, excluding Ohio St. and extrapolating 3 game averages to 4 game projections.

Passing:
48/70.7(68%) - 680 Yds - 9.6 Per - 6.7 TD - 4 Int (168.6 Rating)

Rushing:
37.3 Attempts -312 Yds - 8.4 Avg - 2.7 TD

I'm freaking out in response to this post. You are blaspheming and imply something of significance. Don't you know who Texas has played this year and that VY played Ohio St. in game two of 2005? Jeeeez!

 

[Tan Ted Deki]

as expected.

I'm wiggin' out.

Im glad that they both play/played for us!

Colt's running ability has been shocking really. His first four games are as good as any four game stretch in Texas history, IMHO (excluding Rose Bowls).

You compared Vince Young to a human. This will not stand.

VY, son of Jor-El, child of Krypton likened to Daniel Colt McCoy, son of Brad, child of Hobbs NM.

Riiiiiiiiight....

no need for a pre-emptive apology. Colt is tearing it up this year. Let's hope the end result is the same.

I'd like to see Colt try to complete some much as one pass in the Shoe at night

VY never went hunting with Shipley and McGee either.

I don't really understand why people are so loathe to compare Colt McCoy to Vince Young.

We compared Ricky Williams to Earl Campbell.
We compared Hodges Mitchell to Ricky Williams.
We compared Cedric Benson to Ricky Williams.
We compared Limas Sweed to Roy Williams.

etc. etc. etc.

Why is Vince off limits?

Danger, Colt is starting to tread awfully close to that place where the "would he get drafted?" talks start. I still think of him as my favorite freshman starter and really can't imagine him leaving early, but I feel like people around him are going to start whispering if he keeps playing at a level where comparison to VY isn't absurd.
