receptions (41, B.J. Johnson, 2000), receivingyards (809, Roy Williams, 2000), TD catches(8, Roy Williams, 2000) and TD passes (29,Colt McCoy, 2006) have also been set in theBrown era. In addition, McCoys 29 TD pass-es in 2006 tied the NCAA record for fresh-men.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE: After inherit-ing a program that ranked among the NCAAsbottom 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 nations top 25 intotal defense in nine of the last 10 seasons.

2007: Texas allowed 25.3 points, 371.2 totalyards and 93.4 rushing yards per game (eighthNCAA) in 2007, while holding opponents to a127.5 passer rating. UT held seven teamsunder 100 yards rushing, including threegames of 10 yards or less. Texas held Rice to-11 yards rushing, which marked the fourth-best performance by the Longhorn D since1990. The Horns also held five opponents to14 points or fewer.

2006: Texas finished 2006 ranked thirdnationally against the run (61.2 ypg), 22nd intotal defense (297.4 ypg) and 26th in scoring

defense (18.3 ppg). The Horns only allowedtwo teams to rush for 100 yards and heldseven opponents to 14 points or fewer. The2006 UT defense produced the schools sec-ond-best effort since 1990 by holding NorthTexas to just 95 total yards. UT also held Riceto -12 yards rushing, which marked the fourthtime since 1990 that UT held a team to nega-tive yards rushing. In fact, seven of UTs top

22 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 werent 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 Browns arrival, toback-to-back top 10 finishes in total defense in1999-2000 and captured an NCAA statisticaltitle in total defense in 2001. UTs 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 nations 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 10 sea-sons at Texas, they have turned that around

dramatically. The Horns have limited 44 of their last 87 opponents to fewer than 100 yardsrushing and allowed just twenty-five 100-yardrushers in the last 114 games. UT has heldopponents to just 110.2 rushing yards pergame (9,922 yards on 3,035 carries) and 3.3yards per carry the past seven seasons (90games).

2007: Texas allowed just 93.4 yards per gameto rank eighth nationally. The Horns heldseven of their 13 opponents under 100 yardsrushing and 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 UTs top 35 performances since 1990.In fact, the minus-11 yards by Rice were thefourth-fewest since 1990 and the fifth timeUT has held an opponent to negative rushingyards. All five occasions have come 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 UTs top22 performances against the rush since 1990came during the 2006 campaign.

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

Prior to 2005: The Horns ranked 16thnationally in rushing defense (107.4 ypg) in2004, allowing just 60.0 yards per game overthe final six contests. 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 thenations 17th-best run defense (105.7 ypg) in1999 and the 12th-best ground defense (94.0ypg) in 2000. UTs 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 up in2001 by allowing a Big 12-low 89.5 rushingypg (sixth NCAA) and just 2.8 yards percarry.

Mack Brown era inBOLD^ 2005 Big 12 Championship game


8/26

AIR DEFENSE: Texaspass defense has beenranked in the Top 10 in five of the last eight sea-sons. During that time, it has allowed oppo-nents to complete 52.5 percent (1,706-of-3,250) of their passes for only 193.3 yards pergame (19,721 in 102 games), while intercept-ing 123 passes (1.2 pg).

2007: UT allowed 277.8 yards passing pergame, held opponents to a 127.5 passer ratingand intercepted 17 passes on the season.Marcus Griffin led the team in tackles (99) andINTs (five), while Ryan Palmer (80 tackles, 14PBU) and Brandon Foster (71 tackles, fourINTs, 12 PBU) finished second and third intackles.

2006: The 2006 campaign saw Aaron Rosswin the Thorpe Award as the nations top

defensive back. It marked the second consecu-tive season that a Longhorn won the awardafter Michael Huff did so in 2005. Ross sixINTs helped UT total 13 for the season, and healso finished second nationally with 25 passesdefended. Michael Griffin led the team in tack-les for the second consecutive year and, alongwith Ross, earned All-America and first-teamAll-Big 12 honors.

2005: UT finished eighth nationally in passdefense (172.0 ypg). The Horns also finishedfourth nationally in pass efficiency defense

(96.7 rating) that year. Opponents averagedonly 5.13 yards per pass attempt, which led thenation, and threw for only 10 TDs compared toUTs 11 INTs. In 13 games, Texas allowedonly two teams, Texas Tech and USC, to throwfor over 200 yards. Both of those teams fin-ished in the top five nationally in passingoffense.

Prior to 2005: The Horns intercepted 13 pass-es and ranked 31st nationally in pass efficiencydefense (114.3 rating) in 2004. Texas allowed

opponents to complete just 167-of-354 passes(47.2%/third NCAA) for 2,305 yards (177.3ypg/ninth NCAA) and ranked 18th nationallyin pass efficiency defense (106.5 rating) in2003. UTs recent pass defense efforts contin-ue a turnaround that started when Mack Browntook over the Longhorns program in 1998.That year, UT was coming off a season thatsaw it rank 75th nationally in pass efficiencydefense (132.7 rating). In just their third season(2000), UT led the nation in pass efficiencydefense (88.3 rating). The Horns limited oppo-nents to the second-lowest completion percent-age in the nation (45.2%/171-of-378), 184.3yards per game, 5.36 yards per pass attempt(second NCAA), while allowing just eight TDpasses that season. The Horns put up compara-ble numbers in 2001, holding a schedule thatfeatured several high-powered passing attacks

to a Big 12-low 146.7 passing yards per game(third NCAA) and ranked fourth nationally inpass efficiency defense (88.0). Texas held itsopponents to a NCAA-low 4.77 yards perattempt and just six TDs (t-2nd NCAA) in2001. In 2002, Texas allowed opponents tocomplete just 192-of-400 passes (48.0%) for2,147 yards (165.2 ypg/eighth NCAA). UTalso ranked seventh nationally in pass efficien-cy defense (96.1 rating). Texas 22 intercep-tions were tied for the fourth-most nationallyand second-most in UT history. The Hornsranked 92nd nationally in pass efficiency

defense (138.7 rating) in 98 and improved to12th in 99 (101.6 rating) before leading thenation in 2000.

UNEXPECTED OFFENSE: Even thoughTexas offense is one of the most potent in thecountry, it has received help from the rest of theteam when it comes to scoring TDs. Since1999, UT has scored 58 TDs via returns,turnovers and blocked kicks. The 58 scoresduring that stretch rank fourth nationallybehind Virginia Tech (67), Miami (60) and

Kansas State (60). UT posted five non-offensive TDs in 2007 on three INTreturns, a fumble return and a kickoff return, which was UTs first since 2003.The Horns scored eight non-offensiveTDs in 2006 with four coming off fum-ble recoveries, two from punt returns,one on an INT return and one on ablocked punt recovery in the end zone.

In the nine-season stretch, Texas scoredthe most non-offensive TDs in 2003(nine).

GUARDING THE END ZONE:

Texasdefense has made it difficult foropponents to reach the end zone over the

last eight seasons. Since 2000, the Horns haveallowed only 213 TDs in 102 games (2.1 TDsper game), which ranks seventh nationally.Miami has allowed the fewest TDs, giving uponly 176. UTs best season came in 2001,when the Horns top-ranked unit gave up only

19 TDs. Texas has relinquished 27 TDs orfewer in five of the last eight seasons.Conversely, Texas has scored at least 45 TDs ineach of the last eight seasons, with a high of 81scores in 2005. The Horns scored 57 TDs in2007 and have scored 456 TDs over the eight-year span, averaging over four TDs per game.

FORCING TURNOVERS: Texas defensehas forced 288 turnovers during the Mack Brown era (128 games/2.3 per game), whileonly giving up 220 turnovers for a plus-68turnover margin. Overall, the Horns have aver-aged a plus-seven turnover margin per seasonduring Browns tenure. Texas forced 27turnovers (10 fumbles/17 INTs) in 2007, whilegiving up 26 (seven fumbles/19 INTs). In 2006,UT forced 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 for thesixth-most in the nation and the 19 fumblerecoveries tied for the most nationally. In 2005,UT forced 27 turnovers (16 fumbles/11 INTs).Three of those 27 turnovers were returned orrecovered for scores, and the 16 fumble recov-eries ranked fourth nationally. The Horns fin-ished the season with a plus-nine turnover mar-

gin. Texas had a plus-five turnover margin,forcing 23 turnovers (10 fumbles/13 INTs) andlosing 18, in 2004. UTforced 29 turnovers (14fumbles/15 INTs) in 2003. UTs attacking unitprovided several big plays in forcing 35turnovers (T-No. 12 NCAA) in 02. TheLonghorns combined for 22 INTs (T-No. 4NCAA) by eight different players and recov-ered 13 fumbles.

SHORT DRIVES: The Texas defense hasprevented its opponents from moving thechains on 37.1 percent of their drives over thepast seven seasons (90 games). During thattime, UT has forced 433 three-and-outs or bet-ter in 1,167 possessions. In 2007, UT forced 52three-and-outs or better on 168 possessions(.310). In 2006, Texas forced 60 three-and-outsor better on 154 possessions (.390). Previously,the Horns held foes to three-and-outs or betteron 73-of-178 possessions (.438) in 2005, 46-of-153 possessions (.307) in 2004, 56-of-181

possessions (.309) in 2003, 73-of-176 posses-sions (.414) in 2002 and 73-of-165 possessions(.442) in 2001.

SCORING DEFENSE: Texas defense hasbeen a scoring machine since 1999. During thattime, the defense has accounted for 228 pointsand scored in 33 of the 116 games. The Hornsdefense has scored at least three TDs in eight of the last nine seasons, led by the seven TDsscored in 2000. That defense tallied 46 points,which is the most over the nine-year stretch.The 2003 unit scored six TDs, while the 2006unit scored five TDs.

SPECIAL TEAMS: The Texas specialteams have been just that since Mack Browntook over the program in 1998. Since then,Texas has blocked 57 kicks (30 punts/15FGs/12 PATs), an average of 6.3 per season.That is 32 more than the 25 recorded in the 10-year span prior to Brown's arrival. UT hasblocked the most kicks in the nation since 2000with 48 to lead N.C. State (43) and VirginiaTech (41). Since Brown arrived, the Longhornshave had players set or equal UT records forcareer blocked kicks, single-season blockedkicks, career blocked punts and single-seasonblocked punts. Texas also has improved its kick returning and defending on kickoffs and punts.The Longhorns have scored on eight puntreturns, while only giving up three punt returnTDs since Brown's arrival. It had been 101games (Kansas State, 1999) since Texas hadgiven up a punt return for a TD before KansasState returned one in 2007. That is a major dif-ference from the 10 years prior to Brown'sarrival. During that time, Texas scored on only

two punt returns, while its opponents scored onsix returns. Texas has given up three kickoff returns for TDs during the Mack Brown erawhich is the same amount UT allowed in the10 years prior to Browns arrival. When Brownarrived in 1998, Texas hadnt returned a kick-off for a score since 1978. The Horns snappedthat string when Victor Ike returned a kickoff 93 yards 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. In addition, threeof Texasmost accurate field goal kickers (KrisStockton, 1996, 98-2000, Dusty Mangum,2001-04 and Ryan Bailey, 2006-present) alsohave come during Browns time at Texas.Mangum (121), Bailey (60) and Stockton (57)also are at the top of UTs consecutive madeextra points list.

LONGHORNRETURNEES: The Longhorns

return 11 starters (6 offense/4 defense/1 specialist)and 47 lettermen (25 offense/18 defense/4 spe-cialists) from the 2007 squad. Among thereturning offensive and defensive starters, UTwelcomes back 12 players who have combinedto start 191 games (109 offense/82 defense).When you add in eight other returning veteranswho have combined to start 20 games (4offense/16 defense), Texas 2008 squad fea-tures 20 returnees with starting experience onoffense or defense. That group has combined tostart 211 career games (113 offense/98defense).

SENIOR SUCCESS: Last seasons group of 24 seniors proved to be one of Mack Brownsmost successful at Texas. The class collective-ly helped the Longhorns post a 44-7 (86.3%)overall record over the last four years and a 26-6 (81.3%) mark in regular season Big 12Conference games. They became the first classin UT history to win four straight bowl games.The senior class helped the Horns post a 21-game winning streak, the second-longest win-ning streak in school history, and matched thelongest conference winning streak with 21straight Big 12 wins. Those seniors won 21 of 24 home games. The class44 wins are tied forthe second most with the 2006 class behind thefour-year UT victory record of 45 (since fresh-men became eligible in 1972) set by the 2005senior class (45-6). Of their six regular seasonleague losses, two came to Top 10-rankedOklahoma squads (No. 2 in 2004 and No. 10 in2007). This years group helped Texas set aschool record for victories in a season with 13in 2005 on their way to the NationalChampionship. They helped the Horns to a

seventh straight Top 15 finish for the first timein school history. The group has finished in thetop 10 three times, including the first No. 1ranking to end a season since 1969. FifteenLonghorn seniors played key roles in 2007 and12 (four offense/seven defense/one specialist)were starters as seniors (LB Scott Derry, CBBrandon Foster, C Dallas Griffin, S MarcusGriffin, OT Tony Hills, S Erick Jackson, WRNate Jones, LB Robert Killebrew, DT Derek Lokey, P Justin Moore, DT Frank Okam andWR Limas Sweed).

A NEW CROP:A group of 14 seniors whohave played in a combined 436 games (124

starts) will lead the 2008 Longhorns. WR QuanCosby (39 games/21 starts), OG CedricDockery (28 games/17 starts) and WR JordanShipley (27 games/eight starts) return asstarters on the offensive side of the ball, whileLB Rashad Bobino (39 games/38 starts), DEAaron Lewis (32 games/10 starts), DE BrianOrakpo (35 games/10 starts) and CB RyanPalmer (36 games/13 starts) lead the way forthe defense. DT Roy Miller (36 games/sixstarts) also returns with starting experience,

while PK Ryan Bailey (19 games) will be back to handle the place-kicking duties. In addition,DE Henry Melton (36 games, 10 at defensiveend), RB Chris Ogbonnaya (34 games), FBNic Redwine (10 games), FB Luke Tiemann(30 games/one start) and TE Peter Ullman (35games) will provide senior leadership in 2008.

DEPARTED STARTERS: Texas enters2008 seeking to replace a combined 13 starters(5 offense/7 defense/1 specialist). That groupcombined to start 267 games (124 offense/143defense), won a Draddy Trophy, earned twoAcademic All-America honors, placed threeplayers on All-America teams and eight play-ers on All-Big 12 teams. C Dallas Griffincapped his career by taking home theAcademic Heisman in being awarded theDraddy Trophy. Griffin also was an AcademicAll-American and earned honorable mentionAll-Big 12.
