Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy knows a little something about playing an SEC team in the national championship game.
He was the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns when they faced the Alabama Crimson Tide in the national championship game in 2009.
McCoy was knocked out of the game and didn’t return, Alabama would eventually go on and beat the Longhorns for Nick Saban’s first of six titles at Alabama.
So you can understand why the former Longhorns quarterback will be cheering for TCU Monday night as they face the Georgia Bulldogs for the national championship but McCoy knows this may be a tough task.
“I think they’re going up against a giant,” he said.
“I think they’re going up against a giant.”

“I am proud of the Big 12 for putting somebody in the national championship (game). Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be TCU,” said McCoy, who continued to say how proud he was of the Horned Frogs’ head coach Sonny Dykes. McCoy described his unique relationship with Dykes’ dad, the late Spike Dykes. “Leading a TCU team to a national title game, you should make a movie about this.”
TCU wasn’t even picked to win their own conference this year and if they manage to beat Georgia who was ranked No. 1 most of the year, it will go down as one of the biggest upsets in college football history.
