How will Texas redshirt freshman quarterback Colt McCoy handle the big stage of the Ohio State game?
If he were facing last year’s Ohio State defense, I’d say he wouldn’t handle it very well. Former Buckeyes linebackers A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter and Anthony Schlegel made life miserable for Vince Young for much of last year’s game. “A.J. Hawk’s a beast, so I guess you could say I’m glad he’s gone,” McCoy said. But with Ohio State’s inexperience on defense, I think McCoy will be OK. I don’t expect him to panic. The real question will be how Texas’ defense handles Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. That matchup will decide the game.
