SOONER TIES: UT head coach MackBrown and co-defensive coordinator LarryMac Duff are two of the few who have seenthe Texas/Oklahoma rivalry from bothschools’ sidelines. Brown was the offensive

coordinator at Oklahoma in 1984 when No.1 Texas and No. 2 Oklahoma played to a 15-all tie. Mac Duff played linebacker atOklahoma from 1968-69. Longtime UTstaff member Bill Little will be working his39th consecutive Texas-Oklahoma gameand his 441st consecutive game overall.University of Texas benefactor FrankDenius, for whom the Longhorns’ practicefacility is named, will be attending his 61stTexas-OU game.

CONFERENCE FOES: Texas andOklahoma met as conference opponents in1996 for the first time in 77 years.

OU holds a 6-5 advantage in Big 12games and a 9-6 lead in all-time conferencegames against the Longhorns.

OFF TO THE FAIR: The Texas/Oklahomagame is once again a part of a state festivalwith the State Fair of Texas surrounding theevent. That continues a tradition whichbegan in 1929. That year, the game wasplayed in an old wooden structure calledFair Park Stadium, which was located onwhat is now a parking lot at Fair Park. A newstadium, also named Fair Park Stadium, wasbuilt in 1930 and renamed in 1936 as theCotton Bowl. The name change came aboutbecause, at the time, Dallas was the largestinterior spot cotton market in the world.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: ABCSports is broadcasting this year’s game,which marks the 55th time theTexas/Oklahoma matchup will be tele-vised. ABC will be carrying the game forthe 16th time in the past 17 years. FOXSports Southwest’s telecast of the 1998game snapped a string of seven consecu-tive contests carried by ABC. Thirty-sixUT/OU games have been network tele-casts. The first-ever television appearancecame in 1948 when a Fort Worth stationcarried the game live. Excluding OU tele-vision probation years (1974-75 and ’89),the game is being televised for the 32ndyear in a row.

THE BATTLE LINE: One of the uniquecharacteristics of the Texas/OU rivalry isthe colors. With the tickets divided equal-ly, burnt orange and crimson split down themiddle. OU claims the south horseshoefrom the 50-yard line and UT the horse-shoe north of midfield. The Longhorns, the

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 7, 2006: Texas registered 131 yards on 14 plays (9.4 ypp) and scored TDs on its first two possessions of the sec-ond half to rally from a 10-7 halftime deficit and post a 28-10 victory in the 101st Red River Rivalry. The Longhorns second straightwin over the Sooners was a result of tremendous efforts on offense, defense and special teams. UT forced turnovers on all four (twofumbles/two interceptions) of OU’s fourth-quarter possessions to prevent any hope of a comeback. On special teams, Texas held anOU punt return unit that ranked 11th nationally (15.9 ypr) to minus-three yards on only two returns. Offensively, with the Longhornstalented offensive line, UT set the tone on the first two drives of the third quarter. Colt McCoy (11-of-18/108 yards/2 TDs/0 INTs),completed all five of his third-quarter passes, including a 33-yard score to Limas Sweed and a seven-yard TD toss to Jordan Shipley.His 11 completions went to seven different receivers. McCoy also ran for 11 yards, did not commit a turnover and was sacked justonce. On the ground, Selvin Young (11-60-1 TD) and Jamaal Charles (12-65) combined to pound out 125 yards on 23 carries (5.4ypc). Defensively, UT held an OU offense that was averaging 416.5 yards and 38.3 points per game to 333 yards and 10 points. CBAaron Ross made three of the four fourth-quarter game-sealing plays. He started by returning a fumble for a score then he intercept-ed passes on the Sooners final two drives to help seal the victory. The Longhorn secondary limited OU’s leading receiver, MalcolmKelly (94.8 receiving yards per game/10th NCAA), to just 31 yards on two catches. The defensive backfield combined to post 34 tack-les, three caused fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pair of interceptions. S Michael Griffin led the way with 11 tackles, includinga TFL, and forced and recovered a fumble. CB Tarell Brown added nine stops, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. Ross chipped ineight tackles and junior S Marcus Griffin added six stops and caused a fumble. After allowing Heisman Trophy candidate AdrianPeterson to rush for 71 yards and a TD on 12 carries as OU took a 10-7 halftime lead, UT’s vaunted ground defense (51.2 ypg/thirdNCAA) buckled down to hold the nation’s third-leading rusher (160.8 ypg) to just 38 yards on 13 carries (2.9 ypc) during the secondhalf comeback. His longest run of the second half was 11 yards and the Longhorns tackled Peterson for no gain or negative yardageon five of his 13 runs. Using a rotation of eight players, Texas’ defensive line combined to produce 26 tackles, six tackles for loss, apair of sacks and 10 QB pressures. DEs Tim Crowder (five tackles/one TFL/two pressures) and Brian Robison (five tackles/twoTFL/one sack/three pressures) led the way. The Longhorn LBs were led by Rashad Bobino (11 tackles) and Scott Derry (nine tack-les). Robert Killebrew chipped in two tackles and recovered a fumble that he returned 24 yards.

THE GOLDEN HAT: To the victor goesthe Golden Hat, a rotating trophy repre-senting the winner of the Texas/Oklahomacontest. It’s a gold cowboy hat mounted ona large block of wood and it has been apart of the series since the State Fair ofTexas donated it in 1941. The only changehas been the actual color. When it firstarrived, it was known as the “Bronze Hat”and actually was bronze. When that hatwas reworked in the 1970s, it came outgold, hence it is now officially known asthe Golden Hat.

GOVERNOR’S CUP: The Governor’sCup is exchanged by the Governors ofTexas and Oklahoma following the RedRiver Rivalry. The tradition started whenTexas Governor Dolph Briscoe donatedthe trophy, and each year it is transportedfrom the office of the previous year’s win-ning Governor to Dallas. It is displayed inthe Hall of State on game day and thentransported to the office of that year’s win-ning Governor after it has received itsengraving.

UT/OU TORCHLIGHT PARADE: Theannual Torchlight Parade is set forWednesday night at 8 p.m. at the MainMall on the UT campus. Head coach MackBrown and the Longhorns squad will be onhand at the Littlefield Fountain at approxi-mately 9 p.m.

TEXAS RIDING NATION-LEADINGSIX CONSECUTIVE 10-WIN SEA-SONS: The Texas Longhorns finished the2006 season 10-3, giving them at least 10wins in each of the last six seasons, a featunmatched by any other program national-ly. Overall, Texas’ 97 victories over the last10 years are the most by any school in thenation. The Horns also have won more Big12 games (60) than any other team in theconference during that time. In addition,the Horns set a school record by winning abowl game for the third straight year in2006 after defeating Iowa in the AlamoBowl. They are one of only four schoolsnationally to accomplish that feat. TheAlamo Bowl win marked UT’s fifth bowlvictory in the last six years, including twoBCS triumphs and a BCS Championship

Game victory. Mack Brown’s six bowl vic-tories at UT trail only Darrell Royal’s eightwins.

STRING OF SUCCESS: With a 2006No. 13 final ranking, Texas has finishedthe year ranked among the nation’s Top 15in each of the last seven seasons, aLonghorn best. In addition, UT has fin-ished in the Top Six four of the last six sea-sons (2001, ’02, ’04 and ’05). You have togo back to Darrell Royal’s string of suc-cess in the late 1960s, when the Horns fin-ished among the Top Five four out of fiveyears (1968-72), to equal that consistencyin UT history.

TENTH YEAR UNDER MACKBROWN: With Mack Brown in his 10thseason at Texas, he is just the fourth coachin the 115 years of Texas football to coachthe Longhorns for at least a decade. DarrellRoyal has the longest tenure at 20 years,while D.X. Bible and Fred Akers eachcoached in Austin for 10 seasons. With a97-23 (.808) record at UT, Mack Brown isthe architect of the nation’s best recordduring that stretch. Even more impressive,Brown has led the Horns to a 70-12 (.854)mark over the last seven seasons, whichalso is the best nationally, and includesfour 11-win seasons (2001-02 and 2004-05). The 11-win seasons set the bar atTexas before the Horns’ record-setting, 13-win campaign in 2005. Texas is the only

With 10 wins in 2006, Brownis the lone coach nationally to lead histeam to nine or more victories in 11straight seasons. His nine straight seasonsat UT of nine or more victories are a schoolbest. Under Brown, the Horns have postedTop Six finishes four times in the last sixyears (2001-02 and 2004-05). Prior to hisarrival, the last time UT finished in the Top10 was 1983. The Horns’ string of ninestraight bowl games ties the school’slongest streak set from 1977-85. Brown’spersonal strings, including time at NorthCarolina, go back even further. He hasposted 17 consecutive winning seasonsand has directed his teams to 15 straightbowl games. Both of those marks are thesecond-longest active streaks in the nation.

The record of 21straight conference victories was set from1968-71 when Texas was competing in theSouthwest Conference. The 21-straightBig 12 victories also marked the longeststreak in league history. It is a significantimprovement from the 8-8 (.500) markTexas produced in Big 12 competition thetwo years prior to Brown’s arrival, UT’sfirst in the conference.

The Horns won 20 ina row at home from 1999-2003 (third-longest in school history). Then, from2003-06, Texas won 16 straight homegames, which tied for the fourth-best stringon UT record. Under Brown, the Hornshave outscored their opponents by an aver-age of 43-16 and outgained them by anaverage of 458.1 yards to 281.2 at home.

ROAD WARRIORS: Texas has lost onlyseven road games in Mack Brown’s 10-year tenure, with two of them coming inhis first three games at UT. The Longhornshave won 30 of their last 32 true roadgames.

UT’s600-yard games came in three consecutivecontests against Oklahoma State (606),Baylor (645) and Kansas (617). Texasrushed for at least 300 yards six times in2005, matching 2004’s total for the mostby a Texas team since 1977. UT averageda balanced 274.9 rushing yards and 237.2passing yards in 2005, marking just thefifth time in school history the Horns aver-aged better than 200 yards both rushingand passing.

Prior to 2005: UT ranked second in thenation in rushing (299.2 ypg), seventh intotal offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scor-ing (35.3 ppg). The Horns posted at least600 yards of offense twice in 2004. Theyrecorded 673 yards of offense (third-mostin UT history) versus North Texas and 600total yards against No. 19 Oklahoma State.In 2003, Texas averaged 232.5 rushingyards (eighth NCAA) and 206.6 passingyards, which was the fourth time in schoolhistory UT averaged better than 200 yardsfor each. Texas also averaged 439.2 yardsof offense (20th NCAA) while averaging41.0 points per game (sixth NCAA) in2003. That came one year after UT aver-aged 250.1 passing yards and 33.8 pointsper game (16th NCAA) in 2002. In 2001,the Horns’ led the Big 12 in scoring (39.2ppg/sixth NCAA) and pass efficiency(136.1 rating/27th NCAA). Brown’s firstUT squad produced a school-best 692yards against Rice in 1998 and averaged abalanced 266.5 yards passing per gameand 204.2 yards rushing per game.

RECORD-BREAKING YEAR: In 2005,Texas not only set records, it shatteredthem, in several team offensive categories.The Longhorns set an NCAA record forpoints scored in a season with 652. Theprevious high was 624 by Nebraska in1983, and the previous UT record was 533in 2003. The team also set school markswith 50.2 points per game (41.4, 1969),6,657 total yards (5,709, 2003), 512.1yards per game (472.1, 1969) and 5.91yards per carry (5.84, 2004). UT becameone of only four teams in NCAA history toaverage 50 or more points and 500 or moreyards per game for a season, and the first todo it since 1995. Texas scored at least 40points in each of its last 11 games and 12-of-13 contests on the season. In 2005, onlyone other team in the nation (USC) scored40 points in more than nine games. Texasscored at least 50 points in a game seventimes in 2005. UT was the only school inthe nation besides USC to accomplish that(versus NCAA Div. I-A). That is the most50-point games the Horns have ever had ina season, surpassing the previous best offour set in 2003. As for 60-point games,Texas registered at least 60 points fourtimes, which was also a UT first.

PRODUCTIVE PERFORMERS: SinceMack Brown and offensive coordinatorGreg Davis took over UT’s offense in1998, Texas has produced its only 2,000-yard rusher (2,124, Ricky Williams, 1998),1,000-yard receivers (1,087, WaneMcGarity, 1999/1,188, Kwame Cavil,1999/1,142, Roy Williams, 2002/1,079,Roy Williams, 2003), 3,000-yard passers(3,357, Major Applewhite, 1999/3,207,Chris Simms, 2002/3,036 Vince Young,2005) and 1,000 yard rusher/passer (VinceYoung, 2004 and ‘05) in a season in schoolhistory. UT has seen players record schoolsingle-season bests for rushing touch-downs (28, Ricky Williams, 1998), TDpasses (29, Colt McCoy, 2006), TD recep-tions (12, Roy Williams, 2002/LimasSweed, 2006), total TDs (38, Vince Young,2005), receptions (100, Kwame Cavil,1999), scoring (168, Ricky Williams,1998) and total offense (4,086, VinceYoung, 2005). CedricBenson became thefifth player in NCAAhistory to rush forover 1,000 yards infour straight seasonsand finished hiscareer ranked sixth on

the NCAA all-time rushing list (5,540yards). Vince Young became the first play-er in UT history to rush (1,079 yards) andpass (1,849 yards) for more than 1,000yards in the same season in 2004 and thenrepeated the feat in 2005 with 1,050 yardsrushing and 3,036 yards passing. Hebecame the first player in NCAA history torush for 1,000 yards or more and pass forat least 2,500 yards in the same season. Hecame within two rushing yards of becom-ing just the third freshman QB in NCAAhistory to post 1,000 yards rushing andpassing in a season in 2003. TheLonghorns’ freshman records for rushingyards (1,053, Cedric Benson, 2001), rush-ing TDs (12, Cedric Benson, 2001), totalTDs (13, Cedric Benson, 2001), 100-yardrushing games (5, Cedric Benson, 2001),passing yards (2,570, Colt McCoy, 2006),total offense (2,740, Colt McCoy, 2006),receptions (41, B.J. Johnson, 2000),receiving yards (809, Roy Williams,2000), TD catches (8, Roy Williams, 2000)and TD passes (29, Colt McCoy, 2006)have also been set in the Brown era. Inaddition, McCoy’s 29 TD passes in 2006tied the NCAA record for freshmen.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE: Afterinheriting a program that ranked amongthe NCAA’s bottom half in total defensefor the five seasons prior to his arrival,Mack Brown and the Longhorns’ staffhave reversed that trend. Texas has rankedamong the nation’s top 25 in total defensefor nine consecutive years.

2007: After five games, Texas is allowing22.6 points, 302.8 total yards (22ndNCAA) and 88.8 rushing yards per game(16th NCAA). After allowing 125 yards onthe first two drives of the game, UT heldKansas State to just 147 yards on the 10drives after that and 3.7 yards per playoverall. The Horns only allowed 95 rush-ing yards on 2.7 yards per carry and just177 passing yards against the Wildcats.The Texas defense held Rice to minus-11yards rushing, which marks the fifth timesince 1990 that a Texas defense has held ateam to negative yards rushing.

2,305 yards (177.3 ypg/ninth NCAA) andranked 18th nationally in pass efficiencydefense (106.5 rating) in 2003. UT’s recentpass defense efforts continue a turnaroundthat started when Mack Brown took overthe Longhorns’ program in 1998. That year,UT was coming off a season that saw itrank 75th nationally in pass efficiencydefense (132.7 rating). In just their thirdseason (2000), UT led the nation in passefficiency defense (88.3 rating). The Hornslimited opponents to the second-lowestcompletion percentage in the nation(45.2%/171-of-378), 184.3 yards per game,5.36 yards per pass attempt (secondNCAA), while allowing just eight TD pass-es that season. The Horns put up compara-ble numbers in 2001, holding a schedulethat featured several high-powered passingattacks to a Big 12-low 146.7 passing yardsper game (third NCAA) and ranked fourthnationally in pass efficiency defense (88.0).Texas held its opponents to a NCAA-low4.77 yards per attempt and just six TDs (t-2nd NCAA) in 2001. In 2002, Texasallowed opponents to complete just 192-of-400 passes (48.0%) for 2,147 yards (165.2ypg/eighth NCAA). UT also ranked sev-enth nationally in pass efficiency defense(96.1 rating). Texas’ 22 interceptions weretied for the fourth-most nationally and sec-ond-most in UT history. The Horns ranked92nd nationally in pass efficiency defense(138.7 rating) in ‘98 and improved to 12thin ‘99 (101.6 rating) before leading thenation in 2000.

GROUND PATROL: Mack Brown andhis staff inherited a ground defense that hadranked no better than 64th nationally in thefive seasons prior to their arrival. In 10 sea-sons at Texas, they have turned that arounddramatically. The Horns have limited 40 oftheir last 79 opponents to fewer than 100yards rushing and allowed just twenty-two100-yard rushers in the last 106 games. UThas held opponents to just 111.6 rushingyards per game (9,152 yards on 2,782 car-ries) and 3.3 yards per carry the past sevenseasons (82 games).

2007: Texas is allowing just 88.8 yards pergame to rank 16th nationally. The Hornsgave up 95 yards rushing to Kansas Stateon just 2.7 yards per carry.

Texas held TCU to just

43 yards on 32 carries (1.6 ypc). UT did notallow a carry to go for more than 10 yardsand held TCU to three yards or less on 15of its 32 carries.

UT allowed just two teams to rush for100 yards and held six teams to 27 yards orless, including two games in which theopponent rushed for negative yards (TexasTech, -13; Rice, -12). In addition, seven ofUT’s top 22 performances against the rushsince 1990 came during the 2006 cam-paign.

2005: Texas allowed 130.9 ypg on theground, 3.7 ypc and gave up only 15 rush-ing TDs, while holding nine of their 13opponents to under 120 yards.

Prior to 2005: The Horns ranked 16thnationally in rushing defense (107.4 ypg) in2004, allowing just 60.0 yards per gameover the final six contests. UT held six foesto 70 (or fewer) yards rushing that season.After inheriting a unit that ranked 104thnationally and allowed 241.5 yards pergame in 1997, Brown and company guidedthe Horns to the nation’s 17th-best rundefense (105.7 ypg) in 1999 and the 12th-best ground defense (94.0 ypg) in 2000.UT’s 94.0 yards allowed rushing per gamein 2000 was, at the time, the fewest allowedby a Longhorns’ squad since 1977 (91.1ypg). UT followed that effort up in 2001 byallowing a Big 12-low 89.5 rushing ypg(sixth NCAA) and just 2.8 yards per carry.

SHORT DRIVES: The Texas defense hasprevented its opponents from moving thechains on 38.1 percent of their drives overthe past seven seasons (82 games).

Mack Brown era in BOLD

^ 2005 Big 12 Championship game

UNEXPECTED OFFENSE: Even thoughTexas’ offense is one of the most potent inthe country, it has received help from therest of the team when it comes to scoringTDs. Since 1999, UT has scored 55 TDs viareturns, turnovers and blocked kicks. The55 scores during that stretch rank fourthnationally behind Virginia Tech (60), Miami(59) and Kansas State (56). UT has postedtwo non-offensive scores in 2007, both byBrandon Foster, in the form of a 20-yardfumble return against No. 19 TCU and a 33-yard INT return at UCF. The Horns scoredeight non-offensive TDs in 2006 with fourcoming off fumble recoveries, two frompunt returns, one on an INT return and oneon a blocked punt recovery in the end zone.In the nine-season stretch, Texas scored themost non-offensive TDs in 2003 (nine).

GUARDING THE END ZONE: Texas’defense has made it difficult for opponentsto reach the end zone over the last eightseasons. Since 2000, the Horns haveallowed only 187 TDs in 94 games (2.0TDs per game), which ranks eighth nation-ally. Miami has allowed the fewest TDs,giving up only 155. Texas has allowed 10TDs in 2007. UT’s best season came in2001, when the Horns’ top-ranked unitgave up only 19 TDs. Texas has relin-quished 27 TDs or fewer in five of the lastseven seasons. Conversely, the Texasoffense has scored at least 45 TDs in each

of the last seven seasons, with a high of 81scores in 2005. The Horns have scored 20TDs in 2007 and have scored 419 TDs overthe eight-year span, averaging over fourTDs per game.

FORCING TURNOVERS: Texas’defense has forced 271 turnovers duringthe Mack Brown era (120 games/2.3 pergame), while only giving up 206 turnoversfor a plus-65 turnover margin. Overall, theHorns have averaged a plus-eight turnovermargin per season during Brown’s tenure.This season, Texas has forced 10 turnovers(five fumbles/five INTs), while giving up12 (three fumbles/nine INTs). In 2006, UTforced 32 turnovers (19 fumbles/13 INTs),while only giving up 23 (14 fumbles/nineINTs), for a plus-nine margin (T-No. 13NCAA). The 32 takeaways were tied forthe sixth-most in the nation and the 19fumble recoveries tied for the most nation-ally. In 2005, UT forced 27 turnovers (16fumbles/11 INTs). Three of those 27turnovers were returned or recovered forscores, and the 16 fumble recoveriesranked fourth nationally. The Horns fin-ished the season with a plus-nine turnovermargin. Texas had a plus-five turnovermargin, forcing 23 turnovers (10 fum-bles/13 INTs) and losing 18, in 2004. UTforced 29 turnovers (14 fumbles/15 INTs)in 2003. UT’s attacking unit provided sev-eral big plays in forcing 35 turnovers (T-No. 12 NCAA) in ’02. The Longhornscombined for 22 INTs (T-No. 4 NCAA) byeight different players and recovered 13fumbles.

SCORING DEFENSE: Texas’ defensehas been a scoring machine since 1999.During that time, the defense has account-ed for 216 points and scored in 31 of the107 games. UT got its first defensive TD

of 2007 when Brandon Fosterreturned an INT 33 yards at UCF.The Horns’ defense has scored atleast three TDs in seven of the lasteight seasons, led by the seven TDsscored in 2000. That defense tallied46 points, which is the most over theeight-year stretch. The 2003 unitscored six TDs, while the 2006 unitscored five TDs.

“SPECIAL” TEAMS: The Texasspecial teams have been just thatsince Mack Brown took over theprogram in 1998. Since then, Texashas blocked 57 kicks (30 punts/15

FGs/12 PATs), an average of 6.3 per sea-son. That is 32 more than the 25 recordedin the 10-year span prior to Brown'sarrival. UT has blocked the most kicks inthe nation since 2000 with 48 to lead N.C.State (41) and Air Force (39). Since Brownarrived, the Longhorns have had playersset or equal UT records for career blockedkicks, single-season blocked kicks, careerblocked punts and single-season blockedpunts. Texas also has improved its kickreturning and defending on kickoffs andpunts. The Longhorns have scored on eightpunt returns, while only giving up threepunt return TDs since Brown's arrival. Ithad been 101 games (Kansas State, 1999)since Texas had given up a punt return fora TD before Kansas State returned one ear-lier this season. That is a major differencefrom the 10 years prior to Brown's arrival.During that time, Texas scored on only twopunt returns, while its opponents scored onsix returns. Texas has given up three kick-off returns for TDs during the Mack Brownera which is the same amount UT allowedin the 10 years prior to Brown’s arrival.When Brown arrived in 1998, Texas hadn’treturned a kickoff for a score since 1978.The Horns snapped that string when VictorIke returned a kickoff for a TD in the 2000Holiday Bowl, and Selvin Young addedone in 2004 as well. In addition, two ofTexas’ top five most accurate field goalkickers (Kris Stockton, 1996, ‘98-2000and Dusty Mangum, 2001-04) also have

He is secondamong the group with the fewest intercep-tions (16) and TD-to-INT ratio (2.3-to-1).

COMEBACK KID: Over the past fewseasons, Texas has developed a never-say-die attitude that has helped them pull offcomebacks on several occasions. Muchlike Vince Young, Colt McCoy has proventhat he is capable of leading the Hornswhen they are behind. He has already post-ed three fourth-quarter comebacks andthree second-half comebacks in his shortcareer. The first came against No. 14Oklahoma. Texas trailed 10-7 at halftime,but the Horns stormed back for a 28-10victory. McCoy opened the second half bygoing 5-of-5 passing for 66 yards and twoTDs, while rushing for 23 yards on twoscoring drives that put away the Sooners.The next week, Texas fell behind Baylor10-0 after the first quarter before McCoyhit stride. He racked up 268 yards and aUT-record six TD passes on 19-of-26 pass-ing (.731) over the final three quarters tolead UT to a 63-31 victory. McCoy alsobrought the Horns back in his first test onthe road, when Texas traveled to No. 17Nebraska. With Nebraska leading 20-19,Texas got the ball back at the Nebraska 44-yard line with 2:17 to play. McCoymethodically moved the Horns to theNebraska five before UT kicked a fieldgoal with 23 seconds left to take the leadfor good, 22-20. On the road again, TexasTech jumped out to a 21-0 lead after thefirst quarter and 31-21 lead at the half, butMcCoy led Texas to a 35-31 victory, mark-ing the second-largest comeback in schoolhistory. After getting down 21-0, McCoywent 15-of-23 for 203 yards and four TDs,while rushing for 74 yards over the finalthree quarters. McCoy did it again in theAlamo Bowl. Iowa grabbed the lead at 21-20 late in the third quarter, but, on theensuing possession, McCoy drove Texas72 yards in 11 plays for the go-ahead andgame-winning score as UT would hold onfor the 26-24 victory. Against No. 19 TCU,the Horns trailed 10-0 at the half, butMcCoy led Texas on a seven-play, 60-yardTD drive to open the second half. For thehalf, McCoy went 12-of-16 (75.0%) for

139 yards and a TD and led Texas on fivescoring drives as UT defeated the HornedFrogs, 34-13. He added his third fourth-quarter comeback at UCF, leading Texas to12 straight points (TD, two FGs) on threeconsecutive drives after the Horns fellbehind 24-23. On those three drives,McCoy went 7-of-10 for 82 yards, whileadding 12 yards rushing.

BACKING UP THE COLT: After red-shirt freshman Sherrod Harris suffered aknee injury during fall camp, true fresh-man John Chiles earned the backup quar-terback position for UT. He saw the firstaction of his career against Rice and fin-ished with 72 rushing yards on nine carries(8.0 ypc), while leading UT on two con-secutive scoring drives (TD, FG). He car-ried the ball seven times for 26 yardsagainst Kansas State and completed thefirst pass of his career, a 17-yarder toJermichael Finley. He also had a nine-yardreception.

joined the Horns for spring practice, was aprep All-American and was listed as one ofESPN’s Top 150 national prospects afterhis senior year at Mansfield Summit. Hecombined for 2,036 yards passing, 1,248yards rushing and 56 TDs over his finaltwo prep seasons.

WELCOME BACK: It wasn’t that longago that experience at receiver was a con-cern for the Texas offense. In transitioningfrom 2004 to 2005, the returning receivingcorps had only made 33 receptions andnone of the returners had made a TD catch.Things have been much different over thelast two seasons. The Horns returned five

wide receivers from 2006 that accountedfor 99% of the receptions (155-of-157) andreceiving yards (2,164-of-2,180) and 100%of the TD catches (25). That continues atrend from the 2005 to 2006 season thatsaw 83% of the receptions and all 13 of theTD catches return.

SPREADING THE WEALTH:Sophomore QB Colt McCoy has continuedthe trend of keeping his entire receivingcorps involved in UT’s offensive attack bycompleting passes to 11 different receiversin 2007. In addition, Texas has had threereceivers catch at least five passes in agame three times this season. In fact, UThad three players record at least sevenreceptions at UCF, which marks the firsttime in school history that has occurred in asingle game. Last season, he completedpasses to 12 different players, including sixwide receivers, and TD passes to nine dif-ferent pass catchers, five of which werewide receivers. In addition, he completedpasses of 40 yards or more to six differentreceivers. All five of the receivers thatcaught a touchdown pass in 2006 are backin 2007. That group combined to post 155receptions for 2,164 yards and 25 TDs in2006.

Limas Sweed: Senior Limas Sweed, afirst-team All-Big 12 performer and a can-didate for the 2007 Biletnikoff Award(nation’s top wide receiver), is the team’smost seasoned receiver, having started 38consecutive games.

He had a season-high four receptionsfor 43 yards against No. 1 Ohio State andcapped the season with a 72-yard TDreception in the Alamo Bowl versus Iowa.The 72-yard TD ranks as the fourth-longest reception by a running back inschool history.

FANTASTIC FEAT: Jamaal Charles isone of only three active players nationallyto post a reception of 70 or more yards anda rush of 80 or more yards during theircareers. Charles’ 72-yard TD reception inthe 2006 Alamo Bowl, along with his 80-yard TD run in the 2005 Oklahoma game,put him in a class with 2006 HeismanTrophy runner-up Darren McFadden ofArkansas and Clemson’s C.J. Spiller as theonly three players to accomplish the feat.

CHANGING FACES: The Texas offen-sive line has been one of the nation’s stead-iest units over the past three seasons, butthere is a new set of faces along the offen-sive front in 2007. The Horns are withoutthe services of three linemen, all of whichare currently on NFL rosters, who com-bined to start 115 games over their careersin All-American OT/G Justin Blalock ofthe Atlanta Falcons (UT record 51 straightstarts) and All-Big 12 performers C LyleSendlein of the Arizona Cardinals (26straight starts) and G Kasey Studdard ofthe Houston Texans (38 straight starts). Acombination of three linemen with startingexperience have paced the Longhorns in

2007 in senior OT Tony Hills, who hasbecome a fixture at left tackle after startingUT’s last 18 games, junior OG CedricDockery, who has started the last fourgames after starting the first six games of2006 before missing the rest of the seasonwith a knee injury, and sophomore OTAdam Ulatoski, who has started threegames in 2007, missing time due to anelbow injury. Hills, who was named con-sensus preseason first-team All-Big 12 andone of the nation’s Top 10 tackles by TheSporting News entering 2007, has playedin 36 career games, starting 18, and earnedhonorable mention All-Big 12 honors lastseason. After spending the spring and sum-mer rehabbing, Dockery returned to thestarting lineup against TCU. Ulatoski wasnamed first-team Freshman All-Americaby The Sporting News last season afterplaying in 12 games, starting seven, for theHorns at right tackle. Fifth-year senior CDallas Griffin, who has played in 27 careergames, has stepped in for Sendlein at cen-ter, starting the first five games of 2007.Third-year sophomores Chris Hall, whohas worked at right tackle, both guardspots and center, and Charlie Tanner gotthe call as the starting guards to open 2007.In addition, Hall played every positionalong the offensive line except left tackleagainst No. 19 TCU. He then started atright tackle against Central Florida andRice, replacing an injured Ulatoski, beforemoving back to left guard against KansasState. Redshirt freshmen C Buck Burnette,OG Britt Mitchell and OG Steve Mooreare talented young players who have pro-vided depth in 2007 after gaining experi-ence during their redshirt years. True fresh-men OT Tray Allen, OT Kyle Hix and OGMichael Huey also have seen action thisseason.

LOMBARDI AWARD AND OUTLANDTROPHY CANDIDATE: Senior OTTony Hills has developed into one of thenation's top offensive tackles and is the vet-eran anchor of the Longhorn’s line. Listedon the Lombardi Award and OutlandTrophy watch lists and tabbed one of col-lege football's Top 10 offensive tackles byThe Sporting News, the 6-6, 305-poundHills is Texas’ most experienced offensivelineman. After backing up All-Americanand current Detroit Lion Jonathan Scott fortwo seasons, Hills has started 18 consecu-tive games and has seen action in 36 careergames. His promising college career wasnearly ended before it started when he sus-

tained a devastating knee injury during ahigh school playoff game as a senior. Oneof the nation's top prep tight end prospects,he suffered nerve damage in his knee anddoctors gave him very little hope of playingfootball again. After a series of surgeriesand a lot of prayers, Hills, who sat out thefall of 2003, enrolled at UT in the spring of2004. Still unsure of whether he'd be able toreturn to the field that spring, Hills sur-prised many by not only making it, butsmoothly transitioning into a new positionat left tackle. He played as a true freshmanthat year and has steadily developed intoone of the nation's premier left tackles.

HILLS, O-LINE SHUTOUT TCU PASSRUSH: Senior OT Tony Hills led a Texasoffensive line that shut down one of themost productive defenses in the nationwhen they held No. 19 TCU to no sacks on38 pass attempts and helped UT rush for176 yards. TCU, whose defensive line wasrated fifth-best nationally by The SportingNews and linebacking corps was rankedfourth-best by Athlon, had not given upmore than 131 yards rushing to a team in itsprevious 17 games and hadn’t allowed a100-yard rusher in its previous 21 games.The Horns eclipsed both marks in rushingfor 176 yards as a team, while junior RBJamaal Charles finished the night with 134yards on the ground. The Texas o-line alsoshut out the Horned Frogs pass rush, whichhad notched 30 sacks over their last ninegames. Specifically, Hills matched up withpreseason All-American Tommy Blake,holding him to just three tackles, while notallowing a sack or a pressure.

GRIFFIN MAKES THE GRADE:Senior C Dallas Griffin, who is a memberof the 2007 Outland Trophy watch list, wasnamed to the preseason Playboy All-America team as the Anson MountScholar/Athlete, which has honored thenation’s premiere student-athlete in footballsince 1987. During his career at UT, Griffinhas been a three-time first-team AcademicAll-Big 12 selection, has posted a perfect4.0 GPA six times and graduated with adegree in honors business, majoring infinance, in the spring of 2007. He has start-ed coursework in UT’s prestigious RedMcCombs MBA Program this fall.

Jamaal Charles is one of only three activeplayers nationally to produce a rush of 80 ormore yards and a reception of 70 or moreyards during their careers.

UT REPLACING FIVE DEFENSIVESTARTERS FROM 2006: For the secondstraight season, the Horns have had toreplace a Thorpe Award winner and first-team All-American, while also replacingtwo other players who earned All-Americastatus. In total, the five departees combinedto start 161 games while at UT and all fivewere selected in the 2006 NFL Draft. TheHorns lost 2006 defensive MVP and co-team MVP CB Aaron Ross, who becameTexas’ second consecutive Thorpe Awardwinner, was a consensus first-team All-American and was drafted with the 19thpick in the 2007 NFL Draft by the NewYork Giants. He finished his career with203 tackles, 10 INTs and 33 PBU. DE TimCrowder, who started 47 consecutivegames to finish his career (No. 3 on UT’sall-time consecutive starts list) before beingdrafted in the second round by the DenverBroncos, was a finalist for the HendricksAward (nation’s top defensive end) in 2006and a second-team All-America selectionby the WCFF.

He was drafted by the SanFrancisco 49ers in the fifth round.

SACK-TASTIC: Since 1999, Texas ranksthird nationally in sacks with 313 behindUSC (321) and Louisville (314). TheHorns have seen a dramatic increase intheir sack totals over the past three sea-sons. After finishing 2004 with 22 totalsacks, the Longhorn defense improved to34 sacks in ’05 and 39.5 sacks in ’06. Thattrend has continued in 2007 with Texasrecording 14 sacks over the first fivegames. UT opened with four sacks againstArkansas State behind DT Frank Okam’s1.5 sacks, and three sacks against No. 19TCU, including one each by DE LamarrHouston and DE Aaron Lewis. DT RoyMiller notched his first sack of the seasonat UCF. The defense added five sacksagainst Rice behind two more from Okam.As a team, 21.5 of the 39.5 sacks from2006 returned for 2007. DE Brian Orakpotallied 4.5 sacks last season while Miller(3.5), Lewis (3.0) and Okam (2.0) allchipped in. In total, 15 of the returning21.5 sacks came from defensive linemen.The Horns also returned 76 of their 113tackles for loss from 2006. Lewis led thereturning d-linemen with eight followed byMiller, Okam and Orakpo, who each hadsix. Overall, the defensive line produced34 of the 76 TFL in 2006. The Texas d-linehas already produced 36 TFL in the firstfive games of 2007. In the first gameagainst Arkansas State, the defensive linetallied eight of the team’s 10 TFL behindOkam’s total of three. Against No. 19TCU, the defensive linemen had four ofthe team’s six TFL. The d-line added fourmore at UCF behind two apiece fromLewis and Miller. The unit exploded for 16of the team’s 19 TFL against Rice thanksto four by Lamarr Houston and three byOkam. They added four more againstKansas State.

DEEP ON THE D-LINE: Despite losingtwo players who combined to start 83games, UT has plenty of starting experi-ence along the defensive front in 2007. Alltotaled, seniors DTs Frank Okam (31starts/42 games) and Derek Lokey (13starts/35 games), junior DT Roy Miller(six starts/28 games) and junior DEs AaronLewis (eight starts/26 games) and BrianOrakpo (three starts/27 games) have com-bined to start 61 games and play in 158contests. In addition, senior DT ThomasMarshall has played in 27 career games,while sophomores DT Ben Alexander(nine games) and DE Lamarr Houston(four starts/16 games) also have seen

action. Houston posted his first career startagainst No. 19 TCU after stepping in for aninjured Brian Orakpo. Redshirt freshmanDE Eddie Jones has added depth to the lineand seen action in four games of 2007.

MANNING THE MIDDLE: Texas’defensive tackles unit is a major reasonwhy Texas ranks 16th nationally (88.8ypg) in rush defense in 2007, after givingup just 61.2 yards per game to rank thirdnationally last season. Seniors FrankOkam and Derek Lokey are the veteranleaders of the group.
