McCoy made a passionate speech after Texas’ loss to rival Oklahoma. According to the article,
McCoy said he quoted a passage from the Bible to make his point.
“Forget what is behind, strain toward what is ahead,” McCoy said. “It’s time we start doing the right things and playing well.”
Gotta love the guy, wonder if he has any plans to enter the ministry after football?
