Quan Cosby levels Lendy Holmes
The play that had Texas fans up out of their seats screaming the loudest Saturday against Oklahoma didn’t end up being a touchdown. Quarterback Colt McCoy found an open Jordan Shipley across the middle and hit him in stride. Shipley was headed to the end zone for an apparent score when BOOM, fellow receiver Quan Cosby flies in knocks the daylights out of OU’s Lendy Holmes with a bone jarring block.
Shipley ended up being ruled down inside the one yard line, but that didn’t matter as the Horns eventually scored and Cosby’s big hit will be watched over and over by Texas fans for some time.
It was a thing of beauty. Enjoy it with an animated .gif and some YouTube clips:

I think I watched that replay 20 times yesterday. Probably my favorite moment of the game.

I have sent this link to everyone I know and watched it over & over again and it never gets old. That boy deserves an award for best smack down of the year.

[...] That was Cosby drilling Oklahoma safety Lendy Holmes with a textbook-perfect open-field block. BevoSports.com says it was the play that had Texas fans up out of their seats screaming the loudest. [...]
