Saying goodbye to players like Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley was not easy for Texas coach Mack Brown. The two great things done in the field, but Brown can remember them, who they were to leave the field, too."These young guys who do not drink, do not swear," said Brown. "They are what we all want our children to grow up and be. They are not afraid to be different in public. They are not afraid to say:" No, I do not curse. I do not drink. I'll do the right thing, and I'll do okay. They were very noticeable, and they did it. I think that what they have done. They set a new standard. "
And McCoy and Shipley finished his collegiate career with the Longhorns last season.
In four seasons as a starter, Texas, McCoy has won more games than any other defender in the NCAA Division history (45). A graduate of Jim Ned also set several records UT, including career touchdowns (102), passing touchdowns (85) and changing meters.
Shipley, the son of Brownwood football coach Bob Shipley, was two-time All-American-receiver for the Longhorns. He set school records for career receptions (284), and he was second all time for yards (3191), and planting methods (33).
