Colt, the Big 12’s offensive freshman of the year, is cleared to play in the Alamo Bowl, according to Cedric Golden in the Austin daily:
"McCoy has been evaluated regularly since sustaining a severe pinched nerve in his neck against Texas A&M on Nov. 24. [Texas athletic trainer Kenny] Boyd said McCoy passed a thorough group of on-field and off-field tests before being released to play."
Of course, you remember that he was cleared to play for the A&M game, after his first nerve injury against Kansas State. So who knows? You would suppose if it doesn’t happen again against Iowa, we can figure he’s okay and the Horns’ hopes for 2007 are in good shape. And if it does happen again, his career might be over before it really begins, and then we’d have to see if backup QB Sherrod Harris, a high school standout and 4.0 student, is anything special in college ball.
