Colt McCoyTexas quarterback Colt McCoy has already done something not even Vince Young can claim.
All McCoy, a redshirt freshman, did over Memorial Day weekend in the West Texas town of Graham was swim about 300 yards to help with the rescue of a man who, it turned out, was suffering a grand mal seizure.
Ken Herrington, a 60-year-old former IBM employee, suffered the seizure on his dock across the lake from McCoy's parents' home. Herrington's wife, Patina, screamed for help. McCoy and his father, Brad, answered the call.
"He and his dad saved my husband's life," Patina Herrington said.
