<<McCoy suffered mild concussion
By Suzanne Halliburton | Saturday, September 29, 2007, 08:39 PM
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy suffered a mild concussion in the Kansas State loss Saturday.
According to UT officials, McCoy will be evaluated again early next week to see if he can play against Oklahoma.
McCoy left the game before halftime, but returned and played much of the second half. He was pulled again late in the fourth quarter after he started throwing up on the sidelines.
McCoy was in the trainers’ area for more than hour after the game and was not available for interviews. However, he gave a statement that was issued by the Texas sports information staff.
He did not say anything about his injury, but complimented the K-State defense, which picked off four of his passes.
“Now we need to regroup,” he said. “keep working hard and get ready for Oklahoma. That’s always a huge game and with both of us losing this week, we’re both going to want to get back on the winning track.”>>
I think it was fairly obvious if you watched the game that he was indeed out there playing with a concussion. Which coach, or better yet which team doctor for UT, decided that it was alright to have a kid out there with a concussion? It didn't state whether or not they knew he had a concussion during the game, but I'm assuming that they did know.
