AUSTIN -- Texas quarterback Colt McCoy has been cleared to play in the Alamo Bowl, school officials said Thursday night.
McCoy's status had been in doubt after suffering a severely pinched nerve in his neck in the final minute of a 12-7 loss to Texas A&M on Nov. 24.
The Longhorns will face Iowa on Dec. 30 in San Antonio.
Athletic trainer Kenny Boyd said McCoy had made great progress over the past several weeks and is back at full strength.
"He went through a thorough and complete evaluation that involved everyone on our staff and a series of tests to insure his recovery was complete," Boyd said in a statement released by the school. "Colt passed all of the functional and diagnostic tests to return to the field, and his performance and recovery in practices confirmed that he is back at full strength. We're all comfortable that he's physically ready to play."
McCoy, a redshirt freshman, set a school record this year with 27 touchdown passes. He led the Longhorns to eight straight wins before he hurt his neck the first time on the first drive of a 45-42 loss at Kansas State on Nov. 11.
He was able to return to the field against the Aggies but got visibly weaker as the game went on and threw three interceptions. He was carted off the field with 20 seconds left after taking a hit following an incomplete pass.
Jevan Snead, the No. 2 QB all season, then decided to transfer. That left No. 18 Texas with Matt McCoy -- no relation -- a fourth-year walk-on who has taken only a handful of snaps in mop-up duty the past two seasons.
Colt McCoy has passed for 2,262 yards and thrown seven interceptions.
"I feel like everything is back to normal and I am 100 percent," McCoy said in the statement.
McCoy said there was steady progress in his recovery.
"It all paid off because I could feel the strength in my arm coming back," he said.
This is huge, Texas needs him if they plan on winning any kind of bowl. I doubt he will 100 percent so it might be risky but well worth it.
This is great for them, without him they would've lost for sure. He probably would try as hard to be able to play anyway lol. This guy could be a good NFL QB someday when he gets out of college.
Huge news for the Longhorns, they still would probably beat Iowa without him, but it be much closer, he's a good quarterback, and he'll continue to get better as his maturity moves along as well...
