The only change has been the actualcolor. When it first arrived, it was known asthe “Bronze Hat” and actually was bronze.When that hat was reworked in the 1970s, itcame out gold, hence it is now officiallyknown as the Golden Hat.

GOVERNOR’S CUP: The Governor’sCup is exchanged by the Governors of Texasand Oklahoma following the Red RiverRivalry. The tradition started when Texas

Governor Dolph Briscoe donated the trophy,and each year it is transported from the officeof the previous year’s winning Governor toDallas. It is displayed in the Hall of State ongame day and then transported to the office ofthat year’s winning Governor after it hasreceived its engraving.

Overall,Texas’ 108 victories over the last 11 yearsare the most in the nation. The Horns alsohave won more Big 12 games (66) thanany other team in the conference duringthat time. In addition, the Horns set aschool record last season by winning abowl game for the fourth straight year afterdefeating No. 12 Arizona State in theHoliday Bowl. They are one of only threeschools nationally to do so. The HolidayBowl win marked UT’s sixth bowl victoryin the last seven years, including two BCStriumphs and a BCS Championship Gamevictory. Mack Brown’s seven bowl victo-ries at UT trail only Darrell Royal’s eightwins.

NINE-WIN SEASONS: Texas has postedat least nine victories for 10 straight sea-sons. The streak of 10 straight seasons ofnine or more victories is a UT first and thelongest active string in the nation. In addi-tion, with 10 wins in his final two seasonsat North Carolina, Mack Brown is the lonecoach nationally to lead his team to nine ormore victories in 12 straight seasons.

STRING OF SUCCESS: With a 2007 No.10 final ranking, Texas has finished theyear ranked among the nation’s Top 15 in

DDaallllaass,, TTeexxaass,, OOcctt.. 66,, 22000077-- In a game that was best described by Longhorn DE Brian Orakpo as a heavyweight title bout, No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 19 Texasexchanged blows for 60 minutes with the Sooners eventually coming out on top 28-21. Playing at the neutral site Cotton Bowl once again and in front of 80,000fans, the game was tied three times but a Texas turnover deep in OU territory and a Sooners fourth quarter TD drive proved to be the difference. UT turned theball over twice while the Sooners survived the game without a turnover. Colt McCoy completed 19-of-26 passes for 324 yards and two scores. McCoy's 324 yardspassing were the second-most ever by a Longhorn QB in a Red River Rivalry game trailing only Major Applewhite's 328 yards in 1999. McCoy led an offense thatrecorded 385 yards on just 55 plays (7.0 ypp). Texas averaged 71 yards on five plays on its three scoring drives, including a five-play 83-yard drive that gave theHorns the lead at 14-7 with 6:58 left in the half. Four of McCoy's completions went to Jermichael Finley for a UT tight end record 149 yards, including a 22-yardTD. His 149 yards are the best for a Longhorn versus OU since Wane McGarity had 153 in 1998 and the third-best ever. Cotton Speyrer had 160 in 1969. Finleyhad a 58-yard catch and also hauled in a 55-yard grab, marking the first time in UT history that a tight end has had two catches of 50 or more yards. Including a26-yard strike to Blaine Irby, 175 of McCoy's passing yards went to tight ends. McCoy completed passes to eight different players including three for 44 yards toRB Chris Ogbonnaya. Jamaal Charles ran for 79 yards on 17 carries but his fumble at the OU four-yard line on the first drive of the second half ended a UT scor-ing opportunity. After Texas and OU exchanged first-half scores, the game was tied at 14. Defensively, the Longhorns held strong after each of the teams turnovers,holding the Sooners to just 22 yards on 11 plays during those two drives. LB Rashad Bobino led the defense with nine tackles (six solo) and a tackle for loss. TheLonghorn cornerback trio of Brandon Foster (seven tackles and three PBU), Ryan Palmer (eight tackles, one TFL, one forced fumble, one PBU) and Deon Beasley(three tackles, one TFL) chipped in 18 stops, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and four PBUs. In his first action since the season opener, DE Brian Orakpo,who has missed four games with a knee injury, made the most of his 17 snaps, recording three tackles, two TFL and a sack. DTs Frank Okam added seven tack-les and Derek Lokey pitched in five stops, including a TFL. Punter Justin Moore, in his first game handling the Longhorn punting duties, shined on special teams,averaging 43.7 yards and dropping three of this six punts inside the 20-yard line. The Longhorns punt coverage team had a tremendous game as well, as theSooners posted minus-eight yards on two punt returns. Quan Cosby, who registered 188 all-purpose yards, averaged 28.2 yards on five kickoff returns. The Hornsaverage starting position on Cosby's five returns was the 36-yard line.

UT RECORD BOOK

each of the last eightseasons, a Longhornbest. In addition, UThas finished in theTop 10 in five of thelast seven seasons(2001, ’02, ’04, ’05and ’07). You haveto go back to DarrellRoyal’s string ofsuccess in the late1960s, when the Horns finished among theTop Five four out of five years (1968-72),to equal that consistency in UT history.

SEVEN HORNS ON WATCH LISTS:Texas has seven players listed on nationalaward watch lists in OG Cedric Dockery, PJohn Gold, C Chris Hall, QB Colt McCoy, DTRoy Miller, RB Chris Ogbonnaya and DEBrian Orakpo. Dockery was tabbed for theOutland Trophy watch list, which honors thenation’s top interior lineman. Gold was namedto the Ray Guy Award watch list as the nation’stop punter.

ELEVENTH YEAR UNDER MACKBROWN: With Mack Brown in his 11th sea-son at Texas, he is just the fourth coach in the116 years of Texas football to coach theLonghorns for at least a decade and just thesecond UT coach to win 100 games. DarrellRoyal, who won 167 games while at Texas,has the longest tenure at 20 years, while D.X.Bible and Fred Akers each coached in Austinfor 10 seasons. With a 108-25 (.812) record atUT, Mack Brown is the architect of thenation’s best record during that stretch. In addi-tion, Brown has led the Horns to an 81-14

(.853) mark over the last eight seasons, whichranks second nationally, and includes four 11-win seasons (2001, ’02, ’04 and ’05). The 11-win seasons set the bar at Texas before theHorns’ record-setting, 13-win campaign in2005. Texas is the only school in the nation thathas posted at least 10 wins in each of the lastseven seasons (a UT record). With 10 wins in2007, Brown is the lone coach nationally tolead his team to nine or more victories in 12straight seasons. His 10 straight seasons at UTof nine or more victories are a school best.Under Brown, the Horns have posted Top 10finishes five times in the last seven years(2001, ’02, ’04, ’05 and ’07). Prior to hisarrival, the last time UT finished in the Top 10was 1983. In addition, Texas played in a bowlgame for a school-record 10th-consecutiveseason in 2007, bettering the previous streak ofnine straight from 1977-85. Brown’s personalstrings, including time at North Carolina, goback even further. He has posted 18 consecu-tive winning seasons and has directed histeams to 16 straight bowl games. Both of thosemarks are the second-longest active streaks inthe nation.

UT’S NO. 2 ALL-TIME: Mack Brown haswon 108 games at Texas. He is in second placeon UT’s all-time list behind only DarrellRoyal, who tallied 167 victories from 1957-76.Brown moved ahead of Fred Akers, who post-ed 86 wins from 1977-86, during the 2006 sea-son.

BROWN REACHES CENTURY MARK:With a victory against Nebraska in 2007, MackBrown joined Darrell Royal as just the secondcoach in UT history to reach the 100-victoryplateau (108-25/.812). He also is one of only10 active coaches at NCAA Football BowlSubdivision (FBS) schools who have won 100games at their current school. Of the 80 coach-es that have ever won 100 games at a FBSschool, Brown is the 14th fastest to reach thecentury mark (124 games) and the third-fastestamong active coaches. For his career, Brownhas won 194 games, which which ties HowardJones for 22nd on the NCAA all-time list.

UnderBrown, Texas has won bowl games in fourconsecutive years for the first time in schoolhistory (2004-07). They are one of onlythree schools nationally to accomplish thatfeat. The Horns did win five straight bowlcontests previously (1963-64, ’66, ’68-69),but the streak was interrupted by seasonsthat did not result in a bowl game. Brown’spersonal string, including time at NorthCarolina, goes back even further. He hasdirected his teams to 16 straight bowlgames, which is the second-longest activestreak in the nation.

In 2005, heled UT to its first No. 1 ranking since 1984and its first No. 1 ranking to end the seasonsince 1969. Before Brown took over theprogram, the last time UT earned a Top 10finish was 1983.

UT AND THE AP TOP 10: After its loss atKansas State in 2006, Texas had its string of46-straight weeks in The AP Top 10snapped. Prior to that, the last time theHorns were not among The AP Top 10 wasin the final poll of the 2003 season. The 46-straight weeks was the second-longeststreak in the nation and bettered the Horns’run of 40 straight weeks from 1968-71. Italso was the longest for the Horns in theMack Brown era. The longest Texas streakin The AP Top 10 is 60 weeks from 1961-65.

Texas has scored at least 38 points in each of itsfirst five games of the season for the first timein school history.

STAT FACT

Prior to 2005: UT ranked second in thenation in rushing (299.2 ypg), seventh intotal offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scoring(35.3 ppg) in 2004. The Horns posted atleast 600 yards of offense twice. Theyrecorded 673 yards of offense (third-most inUT history) versus North Texas and 600total yards against No. 19 Oklahoma State.In 2003, Texas averaged 232.5 rushing yards(eighth NCAA) and 206.6 passing yards,which was the fourth time in school historyUT averaged better than 200 yards for each.Texas also averaged 439.2 yards of offense(20th NCAA) while averaging 41.0 pointsper game (sixth NCAA) in 2003. That cameone year after UT averaged 250.1 passingyards and 33.8 points per game (16thNCAA) in 2002. In 2001, the Horns’ led theBig 12 in scoring (39.2 ppg/sixth NCAA)and pass efficiency (136.1 rating/27thNCAA). Brown’s first UT squad produced aschool-best 692 yards against Rice in 1998and averaged a balanced 266.5 yards passingper game and 204.2 yards rushing per game.

RECORD-BREAKING YEAR: In 2005,Texas not only set records, it shattered them,in several team offensive categories. TheLonghorns set an NCAA record for pointsscored in a season with 652. The previoushigh was 624 by Nebraska in 1983, and theprevious UT record was 533 in 2003. Theteam also set school marks with 50.2 pointsper game (41.4, 1969), 6,657 total yards(5,709, 2003), 512.1 yards per game (472.1,1969) and 5.91 yards per carry (5.84, 2004).UT became one of only four teams inNCAA history to average 50 or more pointsand 500 or more yards per game for a sea-son, and the first to do it since 1995. Texasscored at least 40 points in each of its last 11games and 12-of-13 contests on the season.In 2005, only one other team in the nation(USC) scored 40 points in more than ninegames. Texas scored at least 50 points in agame seven times in 2005. UT was the onlyschool in the nation besides USC to accom-plish that (versus NCAA Div. I-A). That isthe most 50-point games the Horns haveever had in a season, surpassing the previousbest of four set in 2003. As for 60-pointgames, Texas registered at least 60 pointsfour times, which was also a UT first.

PRODUCTIVE PERFORMERS: SinceMack Brown and offensive coordinatorGreg Davis took over UT’s offense in 1998,Texas has produced its only 2,000-yardrusher (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, 1999/3,303 ColtMcCoy, 2007/3,207, Chris Simms,2002/3,036 Vince Young, 2005) and 1,000yard rusher/passer (Vince Young, 2004 and‘05) in a season in school history. UT hasseen players record school single-seasonbests for rushing touchdowns (28, RickyWilliams, 1998), TD passes (29, ColtMcCoy, 2006), TD receptions (12, RoyWilliams, 2002/Limas Sweed, 2006), totalTDs (38, Vince Young, 2005), receptions(100, Kwame Cavil, 1999), scoring (168,Ricky Williams, 1998) and total offense(4,086, Vince Young, 2005). Cedric Bensonbecame the fifth player in NCAA history torush for over 1,000 yards in four straightseasons and finished his career ranked sixthon the NCAA all-time rushing list (5,540yards). Vince Young became the first playerin UT history to rush (1,079 yards) and pass(1,849 yards) for more than 1,000 yards inthe same season in 2004 and then repeatedthe feat in 2005 with 1,050 yards rushingand 3,036 yards passing. He became thefirst player in NCAA history to rush for1,000 yards or more and pass for at least2,500 yards in the same season. He camewithin two rushing yards of becoming justthe third freshman QB in NCAA history topost 1,000 yards rushing and passing in aseason in 2003. The Longhorns’ freshmanrecords for rushing yards (1,053, CedricBenson, 2001), rushing TDs (12, CedricBenson, 2001), total TDs (13, CedricBenson, 2001), 100-yard rushing 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, RoyWilliams, 2000) and TD passes (29, ColtMcCoy, 2006) have also been set in theBrown era. In addition, McCoy’s 29 TDpasses in 2006 tied the NCAA record forfreshmen.

MUSCHAMP'S STINGY SCORING D:Defensive coordinator Will Muschamp hasled a Longhorn defense that has allowed atotal of 57 points this year and no more than14 points in each of his five games at Texas.The 57 points allowed are the fewest sincethe 2001 defense gave up just 46 points. It’sthe first time since 1991 that a Texas defensehas given up 14 points or less in each of thefirst five games of a season. That's a trendthat goes back a few years for one of thenation's premier defensive coordinators.Over the last three seasons at Auburn andTexas, UT defensive coordinator WillMuschamp has led defenses that haveallowed 20 points or less in 27 of the last 31games, including 14 or less 19 times. Onaverage, his units are giving up just 14.8points per game during that stretch. In 2008,UT's defense has only allowed five TDs (thesixth came on a fumble return for a TD) andjust 11.4 points per game (fourth NCAA).Last season, while at Auburn, Muschampled a group that finished sixth nationallyafter allowing just 16.9 points per game. TheTigers held opponents to 20 points or less in10 of their 13 games, including six gameswith 13 points or less. In 2006, Muschamp'sD ranked seventh nationally after allowingjust 13.9 points per game, including sevengames with 14 points or less and twoshutouts.

GOAL-LINE STAND: Texas' determinedgoal-line stand midway through the secondquarter against Rice is the perfect illustrationof how stingy the Horns defense has been inthe red zone this season. With Texas leading21-3 in the second quarter, Rice had a first-and-goal from the Texas two-yard line. TheLonghorns proceeded to stop the Owls on 11consecutive snaps (10 of which came frominside the five-yard line) and ended up hold-ing Rice to minus-one yard in the exchange.Initially, UT held Rice to minus-two yardson a running play and forced two incomple-tions before a pass interference penalty onfourth down gave the Owls a new set of

The Hornsforced an incompletion and a false-startpenalty before giving up a three-yard gainon a screen pass that moved Rice form thesix to the three-yard line. UT then forcedtwo incompletions, including a failed fourth-down pass attempt thanks to DE BrianOrakpo’s pressure. Overall, on the eight offi-cial plays, Rice was 1-of-6 passing for threeyards and rushed twice for minus-two yards,and most importantly, the Horns held.

HOGTIED: In its last non-conferencegame of the season, Texas held an Arkansasoffense that was averaging 403.0 total yardsper game to just 191 yards, the Hogs’ lowestoffensive output since 2002. Arkansas wasaveraging 286.0 passing yards per gamecoming into the contest, but could only man-age 180 on the day. The Horns also held theRazorbacks to just 11 yards rushing (on 26attempts, 0.4 ypc), which was their lowesttotal since 1997 and over 100 yards belowtheir season average of 117.0 yards pergame. UT got off to a good start by onlyallowing nine total yards in the first quarter,while building a 10-0 lead. The Horns con-tinued their strong play coming out of half-time, allowing just 21 total yards in the thirdquarter. Overall, the UT defense allowedonly 57 yards on Arkansas’ final eight drives(29 plays/2.0 ypp). UT held Arkansas to just2-of-13 (15.4%) on third down, 3-of-16(18.8%) combined on third and fourth-downattempts and forced five three-and-outs orbetter on Arkansas’ 12 possessions.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE:After inherit-ing a program that ranked among the NCAA’sbottom half in total defense for the five sea-sons prior to his arrival, Mack Brown and theLonghorns’ staff have reversed that trend.Texas has ranked among the nation’s top 25 intotal defense in eight of the last 10 seasons.

to -12 yards rushing, which marked the fourthtime since 1990 that UT held a team to nega-tive yards rushing. In fact, seven of UT’s top22 performances against the rush since 1990came during the 2006 campaign.

2005: The Longhorns ranked 10th nationallyin total defense (302.9 ypg), eighth in scoringdefense (16.4 ppg), eighth in passing defense(172.0 ypg) and 33rd in rushing defense(130.9 ypg). Texas only allowed opponents toreach 300 yards of total offense five times andheld the remaining eight opponents to 267yards or fewer. Statistically, UT's best defen-sive performance came against Oklahoma inthe Red River Rivalry. The Sooners only man-aged 171 total yards and one TD. TheLonghorns weren’t far off that pace by allow-ing only 191 yards and one field goal toColorado in the Big 12 Championship game.

Prior to 2005: Texas held its opponents to320.1 yards (23rd NCAA), 17.9 points (18thNCAA) and 107.4 yards per game (16thNCAA). Texas ranked 25th nationally in totaldefense (329.8 ypg) and allowed just 21.1points per game in 2003, while holding itsopponents to 307.7 yards (16th NCAA) and16.3 points per game (eighth NCAA) in 2002.UT was one of only two teams to post threeshutouts against NCAA Division I-A oppo-nents in 2002. The Longhorns defense wentfrom ranking 85th nationally in total defensein 1997, the year prior to Brown’s arrival, toback-to-back top 10 finishes in total defense in1999-2000 and captured an NCAA statisticaltitle in total defense in 2001. UT’s 236.2 yardsper game allowed that season were the fewestit had allowed since 1983 (212.0 ypg). Itmarked the first time since ’83 and only thethird time in school history that UT led thenation in total defense. Texas also led the Big12 in rushing (89.5 ypg/sixth NCAA), passing(146.7 ypg/third NCAA) and scoring defense(13.7 ppg/third NCAA) while establishingitself as one of only two defenses rankedamong the nation’s top 10 in every majordefensive category in 2001.

GROUND PATROL: Mack Brown and hisstaff inherited a ground defense that hadranked no better than 64th nationally in thefive seasons prior to their arrival. In 11 seasonsat Texas, they have turned that around dramat-ically. The Horns have limited 48 of their last92 opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushingand allowed just twenty-five 100-yard rushersin the last 119 games. In additon, Texas hasheld its opponent under 50 yards rushing 31times during the Mack Brown era. During the

last eight seasons (95 games), UT has heldopponents to just 107.2 rushing yards pergame (10,181 yards on 3,167 carries) and 3.2yards per carry.

2008: Texas is allowing just 51.8 yards rush-ing per game (third NCAA/first Big 12) andhas not allowed a rushing TD this season. Itmarks the first time since 1977 that UT has notallowed a rushing TD over the first five gamesof a season. Overall, Texas has given up just259 rushing yards on 132 carries (2.0 ypc). Infact, the Horns’ defense has produced almostas much lost yardage via tackles for loss andsacks (249) than opponents have netted (259).Over the last three games, Texas has allowedjust 76 yards on 78 carries. UT opened the sea-son against FAU by allowing just 37 yards on23 carries for a 1.6 ypc average. The Hornsheld FAU’s leading returning rusher, CharlesPierre, to just three yards on six carries.Against Rice, the Texas defense gave up just17 yards on 24 carries for a 0.7 yards per carryaverage. The Horns allowed just 11 yards on26 attempts (0.4 ypc) against Arkansas. UTgave up just 49 yards on 28 carries (1.8 ypc)against Colorado, and prior to the final drivewhen UT’s first-team defense had exited, theBuffs had manged just 13 yards on 24 carries(0.5 ypc). Overall, 17 of Colorado’s 28 rush-ing attempts went for three yards or less.

2007: Texas allowed just 93.4 yards per gameto rank sixth nationally. The Horns held sevenof their 13 opponents under 100 yards rushingand gave up just 2.9 yards per carry.Highlighting the season were games againstNo. 19 TCU (43 yards), Rice (-11 yards),Baylor (eight yards), Texas Tech (10 yards)and Arizona State (22 yards). All five gamesrank in UT’s top 35 performances since 1990.In fact, the minus-11 yards by Rice were thefourth-fewest since 1990 and the fifth time UThas held an opponent to negative rushingyards in that span. All five occasions havecome during the Mack Brown era.

2006: The Horns rush defense gave up just61.2 yards per game in 2006 (third NCAA),turning in the best performance on schoolrecord since 1942 (57.5 ypg). They gave uponly 795 yards rushing on 345 carries (2.3ypc). UT allowed just two teams to rush for100 yards and held six teams to 27 yards orless, including two games in which the oppo-nent rushed for negative yards (Texas Tech, -13; Rice, -12). In addition, seven of UT’s top22 performances against the rush since 1990came during the 2006 campaign.

UT held six foes to 70(or fewer) yards rushing that season. Afterinheriting a unit that ranked 104th nationallyand allowed 241.5 yards per game in 1997,Brown and company guided the Horns to thenation’s 17th-best run defense (105.7 ypg) in1999 and the 12th-best ground defense (94.0ypg) in 2000. UT’s 94.0 yards allowed rush-ing per game in 2000 was, at the time, thefewest allowed by a Longhorns’ squad since1977 (91.1 ypg). UT followed that effort upin 2001 by allowing a Big 12-low 89.5 rush-ing ypg (sixth NCAA) and just 2.8 yards percarry.

AIR DEFENSE: Texas’ pass defense hasbeen ranked in the Top 10 in five of the lasteight seasons. During that time, it hasallowed opponents to complete 52.4 percent(1,809-of-3,449) of their passes for only195.7 yards per game (20,941 in 107 games),while intercepting 125 passes (1.2 pg).

It marked the second con-secutive season that a Longhorn won theaward after Michael Huff did so in 2005.Ross’ six INTs helped UT total 13 for theseason, and he also finished second national-ly with 25 passes defended. Michael Griffinled the team in tackles for the second con-

secutive year and, along withRoss, earned All-America andfirst-team All-Big 12 honors.

2005: UT finished eighth nation-ally in pass defense (172.0 ypg).The Horns also finished fourthnationally in pass efficiencydefense (96.7 rating) that year.Opponents averaged only 5.13yards per pass attempt, which ledthe nation, and threw for only 10TDs compared to UT’s 11 INTs.In 13 games, Texas allowed onlytwo teams, Texas Tech and USC,to throw for over 200 yards.

records for career blocked kicks, single-sea-son blocked kicks, career blocked punts andsingle-season blocked punts. Texas also hasimproved its kick returning and defending onkickoffs and punts. The Longhorns havescored on eight punt returns, while only givingup three punt return TDs since Brown'sarrival. It had been 101 games (Kansas State,1999) since Texas had given up a punt returnfor a TD before Kansas State returned one in2007. That is a major difference from the 11years prior to Brown's arrival. During thattime, Texas scored on four punt returns, whileits opponents scored on six returns. Texas hasgiven up three kickoff returns for TDs duringthe Mack Brown era which is the sameamount UT allowed in the 11 years prior toBrown’s arrival. When Brown arrived in1998, Texas hadn’t returned a kickoff for ascore since 1978. The Horns snapped thatstring when Victor Ike returned a kickoff 93yards for a TD in the 2000 Holiday Bowl.Selvin Young added a 97-yard kickoff returnTD against New Mexico State in 2003 andQuan Cosby posted a 91-yard kickoff returnTD at Texas A&M in 2007.

On 88rushes, McCoy gained 665 yards (7.6ypc), scored four TDs and posted 37 firstdowns. His 7.5 ypc average would haveranked him third nationally. Excludingsacks, McCoy has rushed for at least 50yards in nine of the last 11 games.

McCoy added his second career100-yard game in the 2008 season openeragainst FAU with 106 yards on 12 carries(8.6 ypc). During his career, McCoy hastallied 43 runs of at least 10 yards with 10of them coming during the first five gamesof 2008.

The pipeline to the NFL overthe last three years began with OT JonathanScott, who was taken in the fifth round of the2006 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. Then,in the 2007 draft, the Horns had two players,OL Justin Blalock and OG Kasey Studdard,selected. Blalock was selected in the secondround by the Atlanta Falcons and Studdardwas taken in the sixth round by the HoustonTexans. In addition, C Lyle Sendlein signedwith the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent andended up playing in 14 games, starting two.Now, the Horns must deal with the departureof two seniors from 2007 in OT Tony Hills, afirst-team All-America selection who wasdrafted in the fourth round by the Pittsburgh

Steelers, and C Dallas Griffin, who won theDraddy Trophy and was an honorable men-tion All-Big 12 selection.

2008 OFFENSIVE LINE: The 2008 line isled by the lone senior, OG Cedric Dockery,who is a member of the Outland Trophy watchlist. Dockery, who was an honorable mentionAll-Big 12 selection in 2007, has played in 33career games and made 22 starts. He is joinedby a trio of juniors in C Chris Hall, OG CharlieTanner and OTAdam Ulatoski. Hall is a mem-ber of the Rimington Trophy watch list, hasplayed in 25 career games (17 starts) and start-ed at least one game at all five line positions in2007. Tanner has seen action in 23 careergames (10 starts) and is a two-time AcademicAll-Big 12 performer. Ulatoski has played in28 career games (22 starts) and was a second-team All-Big 12 pick in 2007. After playingright tackle during his first two seasons, hemoved to left tackle to fill the void caused byTony Hills’ graduation. In addition to theupperclassmen, sophomore OT Kyle Hix (18games/six starts) earned a starting spot at rigthttackle for the 2008 season. He saw action in all13 games of 2007 and started at right tackle inUT’s Holiday Bowl victory over No. 12Arizona State. Sophomores OT Tray Allen (14games), C Buck Burnette (17 games/one start),OG Michael Huey (18 games/three starts), OTBritt Mitchell (17 games) and OG SteveMoore (seven games) also have seen action in2008. Two players, redshirt freshman OTAundre McGaskey and true freshman OGDavid Snow, saw their first action asLonghorns against FAU and have continued tosee action during 2008. After five games, theline has led Texas to a No. 6 national rankingin scoring offense (47.2 ppg) and a No. 12ranking in total offense (471.8 ypg). To startthe season, Texas produced 503 yards of totaloffense in its victory over FAU, while notallowing a sack. They blocked for 404 totalyards at UTEP, and then cleared the way for

600 yards against Rice, including 259 yardsrushing. The group did not allow a sack for thesecond time this year and helped UT post 421yards of total offense (213p/208r) againstArkansas. They paved the way for 431 totalyards (262p/169r) at Colorado.

THE GO-TO GUY: Junior Chris Hallentered 2007 as the starting right guard, but theright-guard label was quickly changed tooffensive lineman as the versatile Hall becamethe go-to-guy at all five line positions for aLonghorn line that battled injuries. Hall startedthe second game of 2007 against No. 19 TCUat left guard before moving in as the starter atright tackle for an injured Adam Ulatoskiagainst UCF and Rice. Hall moved back to leftguard against Kansas State, but was back fill-ing injured Ulatoski's shoes at right tackle forthe Oklahoma game. Hall continued to plugholes along the offensive line by starting at leftguard at Iowa State, right guard at Baylor andleft guard against Nebraska before not startingagainst Oklahoma State due to his own injury.But, when Dallas Griffin sustained a season-ending knee injury in Stillwater, Hall slid overand played most of the game at center. He thenstarted for Griffin at center against Texas Techbefore moving to left tackle after Tony Hillssustained a season-ending leg injury. Then,Hall started at left tackle against Texas A&M,which meant he started at least one game atevery offensive line position in 2007. In com-parison, only three recent linemen have evenstarted at the combination of center/guard orguard/tackle during a season. Justin Blalockstarted at right guard and right tackle (2006),Derrick Dockery started at right guard andright tackle (2002) and Dan Neil started at rightguard and center (1993).

PRESSURE ATA PREMIUM: Since 1999,Texas ranks fourth nationally in sacks at 346behind USC (361), TCU (354) and VirginiaTech (352). After finishing 2004 with 22 totalsacks, the Longhorn defense improved to 34sacks in ’05 and 39.5 sacks in ’06 beforenotching 28 sacks in ’07. The Horns havealready tallied 19 sacks in 2008 with 17 com-ing over the last three games. The Hornsnotched 14 sacks combined against Rice andArkansas, which was the most in a two-gamestretch since 1990. The defense is led by DEBrian Orakpo, who has already produced sixsacks in 2008. LB Sergio Kindle is second onthe team in sacks with 2.5, while DT AaronLewis ranks third with 2.0 sacks. Eight otherplayers have recorded at least a half sack.

MANNING THE MIDDLE: The defensivetackles unit was a major reason why Texasranked sixth nationally (93.4 ypg) in rushdefense in 2007, after giving up just 61.2yards per game to rank third nationally in ’06.

The 2008 Longhorns are without the servicesof two of the stalwarts of those defensivelines. DTs Frank Okam and Derek Lokeycombined to play in 83 games, while making60 starts during their four-year careers. Okam,who was a third-team All-American in 2007before being drafted in the fifth round by theHouston Texans, finished his career with 160tackles, 10 sacks, 28 TFL, 12 PBD, oneforced fumble and five fumble recoveries.Lokey garnered first-team All-Big 12 honorsin 2007 and earned a spot on the Kansas CityChiefs’ practice squad.

Despite the loss-es, the duo of senior Roy Miller and juniorLamarr Houston have led a UT defense thatranks third nationally and first in the Big 12against the run (51.8 ypg). Miller has playedin 41 career games (11 starts) and is a mem-ber of the preseason Bednarik Award watchlist, while Houston has played in 28 careergames (14 starts) and made the first start of hiscareer at defensive tackle in UT’s season-opening win over FAU. The duo has com-bined to post 28 tackles (18 solo), seven TFL,17 pressures, four PBD and a fumble recoveryin 2008.

MILLER MAKING AN IMPACT: WhileLokey and Okam claimed a bulk of the startsat defensive tackle over the last two seasons,Roy Miller was an integral part of the DTrotation throughout both of those years. Hisability to hold the point of attack in UT’sdefensive scheme thanks to a 500 lbs. benchpress, 690 lbs. squat and 350 lbs. power cleanhas the Horns ranked third nationally and firstin the Big 12 in rush defense (51.8 ypg) andaided in UT finishing third nationally in rushdefense (61.2 ypg) in 2006 and sixth (93.4ypg) in ’07.
