Colt McCoy Has Time Management Issues

Via ESPN

Heisman finalist and Texas quarterback Colt McCoy’s argument that he was confident that there was one second remaining in his team’s Big 12 Championship win against Nebraska doesn’t seem too convincing. In this interview he did with ESPN he says he looked up at the clock and there was 11 seconds remaining, so he knew he had time to get off a play that he claims his team normally runs in 12 seconds during practice.

Sounds good except for the fact that when McCoy snapped the ball there was only a shade under 7 seconds remaining, before he scrambled towards the sideline and floated the pass out of bounds as time expired. Even if there was 11 seconds remaining like McCoy claims to have seen, running a play that normally takes a second longer in practice still would have left him a second short. Not that it matters at this point, but McCoy might as well just admit that he got luckier than Seal did when he knocked Heidi Klum.
