 The lopsided victory allowed Texas to play several less @-@ experienced players . Back @-@ up quarterback Matt Nordgren entered the game in the third quarter , replacing Vince Young . Third @-@ string quarterback Matt McCoy replaced Nordgren just past the midpoint of the fourth quarter . Since Colt McCoy was listed third on the UT depth chart , television broadcasters referred to Matt McCoy ( no relation ) as Colt McCoy , a mistake they repeated over the season . The Longhorns did not play Colt in the 2005 season , choosing to redshirt him instead . After viewing this game as part of a recruiting visit to UT , Jevan Snead – ranked as one of the top high school quarterbacks in the nation , elected to switch his commitment from University of Florida to Texas .
