Colt McCoy

Why I’m An Optimist

Up until the latter half of 2004, I was a pessimist. Our teams never showed direction, our players never developed, and any team with good coaching seems to negate our talent advantages with ease. It peaked with the Washington St. Holiday Bowl, a game that should’ve ended Greg Davis’ career. It remains, to this day, […]

Bill Callahan is not to be outdone. […]

Quotes that bother me

But he’s not a good rusher. He’s a good scrambler. And they’re not the same thing.
Regarding the running game in […]
