Getting your player ready...
A kiddie drink and an old lunch-box standard got Texas’ Colt McCoy through a tough win over Texas Tech. The senior had the flu last week, causing him to miss practice. By Saturday, he said he was still not 100 percent while the Longhorns staggered to a 10-3 halftime lead. But a halftime spent downing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and slugging back Pedialyte, a children’s hydration drink, made him feel better. (For the record, McCoy likes grape flavor). It made a big difference on the field. McCoy was 15-of-18 passing in the second half and threw his only touchdown in the 34-24 win. The Associated Press
