LONGHORNS TEXAS · 2010-09-27 · ’20, ’21 and 1924-28. The series resumed in 1929 at the State Fair of Texas and has remained a fixture since. THE TEXAS-OU SERIES: Texas and

105TH AT&T RED RIVER RIVALRY GAME: A classic matchup is once again in place as one of the nation’s oldest and most-unique rivalries — the Texas/Oklahoma series — is set for its 105th renewal on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Cotton Bowl (2:30 p.m./CT/ABC). The rivalry, which pits the two Big 12 Conference foes on a neutral field with the crowd split evenly, is in its fifth year of sponsorship with AT&T and is officially tagged the AT&T Red River Rivalry. This year has No. 21/16 Texas (3-1/1-0 Big 12) meeting No. 8/8 Oklahoma (4-0/0-0 Big 12) in a Big 12 South Division showdown. Both teams enter the game ranked among The Associated Press Top 25 for the 34th time since the poll began in 1936 with Oklahoma holding a 16-14-3 edge. UT is looking to win its fifth Red River Rivalry in the last six years. The two teams alternate as hosts of the game and the Sooners are the home team this year. Texas will wear white jerseys and be seated on the away bench (east side opposite the press box). The Horns are coming off a 34-12 loss to UCLA while Oklahoma defeated Cincinnati, 31-29 on Saturday.

BIG-TIME RIVALRY: There is no rivalry quite like the Texas/Oklahoma series, which is being played for the 105th time this season. The series, which began in 1900, has been played in Dallas since 1912 and at the Cotton Bowl since 1929. Dallas’ Cotton Bowl is located an equal distance from Austin and Norman, Okla. The stadium is split evenly among Longhorn and Sooner fans at the 50-yard line. It is the second-oldest UT series and tied for the 19th most-played rivalry in NCAA history. Only Texas A&M has met Texas on more occasions (115 times). Since 1900, the only years Texas and Oklahoma have not met were 1918,

GAME 5

’20, ’21 and 1924-28. The series resumed in 1929 at the State Fair of Texas and has remained a fixture since.

THE TEXAS-OU SERIES: Texas and Oklahoma first met in 1900 in Austin with the Longhorns registering a 28-2 victory. Including that meeting, the two teams have met 104 times. Texas holds a 59-40-5 series lead, including four of the last five. The Longhorns are the only Big 12 Conference team that holds an all-time series lead against the Sooners. Oklahoma leads the series, 6-4, over the last 10 years, but Texas has the advantage, 11-8-1, over the last 20 years. As for records by decade, the Horns were 7-2-1

against Oklahoma in the 1990s. That comes after the Sooners held a 5-4-1 advantage in the 1980s. The rest of the series records by decade saw UT lead 9-2-1 in the 1900s; OU lead 6-3 in the 1910s; UT lead 3-0 in the 1920s; UT lead 6-3-1 in the 1930s; UT lead 8-2 in the 1940s; OU lead 7-3 in the 1950s; UT lead 9-1 in the 1960s; and OU lead 6-3-1 in the 1970s.

TEXAS VERSUS OU TRENDS: At least one of the teams is entering this year’s game ranked among the Top 25 for the 12th straight year and for the 62nd time (out of 74 possible games since the poll began in 1936) in series history … since the AP Poll was established in 1936, the higher ranked team coming into the Red River Rivalry is 45-14-3 … either UT or OU has entered as a Top 10 team on 49 occasions in series history … Texas has been ranked in the Top 10 in 30 of the 49 games and is 21-8-1 in those contests.

TOP 25 TREND: Both teams enter the game ranked among The Associated Press Top 25 for the 34th time since the poll began in 1936. Oklahoma holds a 16-14-3 edge. Breaking it down further, UT is 9-2-1 in Top 25 matchups when it enters the game as the higher-ranked team and 5-14-2 when it is the lower-rated team. Texas and OU have met 25 times when both teams were ranked among the Top 15. The Sooners hold a 13-11-1 advantage in those Top 15 matchups. UT is 7-1-1 in Top 15 matchups when it enters the game as the higher ranked team and 4-12 when it is the lower rated team. The Horns and Sooners have met 10 times when both

TEXAS/OKLAHOMA ALL-TIME SERIES AT-A-GLANCE

teams were ranked in the Top Five. Texas has been the lower ranked team in nine of the 10 Top Five match-ups and has gone 4-5. The Horns and Sooners tied the one Top-Five game when Texas entered as the higher ranked team.

TRADITIONAL POWERS: Texas and Oklahoma are two of the five winningest programs in NCAA history based on win-ning percentage. UT and OU have combined to produce a record of 1,651-621-86 (.718) over 233 years of football. The Longhorns rank third in all-time winning percentage (848-319-33/.7179), while Oklahoma is close behind in fifth (803-302-53/.7163). Texas currently ranks second in all-time wins and Oklahoma stands seventh. Texas has played in 49 bowl games and Oklahoma has made 43 bowl appearances.

LEAGUE LEADERS: Texas’ 81 regular season conference wins since 1998 are the most of any Big 12 team, while OU ranks second with 75. Texas is 81-16 (.835) and Oklahoma is 75-21 (.781) in regular season league contests during that stretch. No other league team is within 22 victories of the Horns during that span. As a matter of fact, the Longhorns and Sooners combined 37 Big 12 regular season defeats over the last 12 years are fewer than any other conference program. Nebraska has the third-best record during that time span at 59-37, while Texas Tech has posted a 57-40 record.

SOLD OUT: This year’s game is sold out, marking the 65th consecutive sellout at the Cotton Bowl, which has a current stadium capacity of 92,200.

SOONER TIES: UT head coach Mack Brown is one of the few who have seen the Texas/Oklahoma rivalry from both schools’ sidelines. Brown was the offen-sive coordinator at Oklahoma in 1984

when No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Oklahoma played to a 15-all tie. Longtime UT staff member Bill Little will be working his 42nd consecutive Texas-Oklahoma game and his 467th consecutive game over-all. University of Texas benefactor Frank Denius, for whom the Longhorns’ practice facility is named, will be attending his 64th Texas-OU game.

CONFERENCE FOES: Texas and Oklahoma met as conference opponents in 1996 for the first time in 77 years. The Longhorns and Sooners first met as league foes when the Sooners were a member of the Southwest Conference from 1915-19 and now have conference bragging rights on the line for the 15th year as members of the Big 12. The series is tied at 7-7 in Big 12 games while OU holds a 10-8 lead in all-time conference games against the Longhorns.

SOUTH DIVISION DOMINANCE: Either Texas or Oklahoma has claimed the Big 12 South Division crown in each of the last 11 years, dating back to 1999. Texas has won the title outright four times compared to Oklahoma’s five and they’ve shared the championship twice.

OFF TO THE FAIR: The Texas/Oklahoma game is once again a part of a state festival with the State Fair of Texas surrounding the event. That continues a tradition which began in 1929. That year, the game was played in an old wooden structure called Fair Park Stadium, which was located on what is now a parking lot at Fair Park. A new stadium, also named Fair Park Stadium, was built in 1930 and renamed in 1936 as the Cotton Bowl. The name change came about because, at the time, Dallas was the largest interior spot cotton market in the world.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: ABC Sports is broadcasting this year’s game, which marks the 58th time the Texas/Oklahoma matchup will be televised. ABC will be car-rying the game for the 19th time in the past 20 years. FOX Sports Southwest’s telecast of the 1998 game snapped a string of seven con-secutive contests carried by ABC. Thirty-nine UT/OU games have been network telecasts. The first-ever television appearance came in 1948 when a Fort Worth station carried the game live. Excluding OU television proba-tion years (1974-75 and ’89), the game is being televised for the 35th year in a row.

THE BATTLE LINE: One of the unique characteristics of the Texas/OU rivalry is the colors. With the tickets divided equally, burnt orange and crimson split down the middle. OU claims the south horseshoe from the 50-yard line and UT the horseshoe north of midfield. As the away team, the Longhorns will wear white jerseys and occupy the east bench area with that role reversing next sea-son. The Oklahoma media relations office will handle the press box operations and stat crew.

THE GOLDEN HAT: To the victor goes the Golden Hat, a rotating trophy repre-senting the winner of the Texas/Oklahoma contest. It’s a gold cowboy hat mounted on a large block of wood and it has been a part of the series since the State Fair of Texas donated it in 1941. The only change has been the actual color. When it first arrived, it was known as the “Bronze Hat” and actually was bronze. When that hat was reworked in the 1970s, it came out gold, hence it is now officially known as the Golden Hat.

GOVERNOR’S CUP: The Governor’s Cup is exchanged by the Governors of Texas and Oklahoma following the Red River Rivalry. The tradition started when Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe donated the trophy, and each year it is transported from the office of the previous year’s winning Governor to Dallas. It is displayed in the Hall of State on game day and then transported to the office of that year’s winning Governor after it has received its engraving.

UT/OU TORCHLIGHT PARADE: The annual Torchlight Parade is set for Wednesday night at 8 p.m. at the Main Mall on the UT campus. Head coach Mack Brown and the Longhorns squad will be on hand at approximately 9 p.m.

RED RIVER RIVALRY

in league play, which is the longest active streak in the conference and the fourth lon-gest in league history. The Longhorns also own the record for the longest streak of 21 from 2004-06. At 89-24 (.787), Texas has the top intraconference record since the Big 12 formed in 1996, nine wins ahead of Oklahoma (80-32).

SEPTEMBERS TO REMEMBER: Texas has won 33 of its last 37 games in the season’s first month (August/September) under Mack Brown. The only losses in that stretch have been to UCLA this season when the Longhorns had five turnovers, Kansas State in 2007, when the Horns gave up two special teams TDs and committed four turnovers, No. 1 Ohio State in 2006 and when the Horns gave up three turnovers versus Arkansas in 2003. Overall, the Horns have won 40 of their last 46 outings in Aug./Sept.

TEXAS RIDING NATION-LEADING STREAK OF NINE CONSECUTIVE 10-WIN SEASONS: Texas has posted at least 10 wins in each of the last nine seasons, becoming just the second team in college football history to win at least 10 games in nine straight seasons. The Horns’ streak trails only Florida State’s streak of 14 consecutive seasons. The current streak also is the longest active mark in the nation. Overall, Texas’ 131 victories over the last 13 years are the most in the nation. The Horns also have won more Big 12 games (81) than any other team in the con-ference during that time. In addition, Texas has won seven of its last nine bowl games,

including three BCS triumphs and a BCS Championship Game victory. Mack Brown’s eight bowl victories at UT are tied with

Darrell Royal. In fact, UT’s eight bowl victories over the last 12 seasons under Brown equal the amount Texas won in the 30 years prior to Brown’s arrival.

J A M A I L F I E L D A D V A N T A G E : During Mack Brown’s 13-year tenure, Texas has won 67 of its 74 games (.905) at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field. The Horns’ .889 home winning percentage (40-5) since 2003 ranks fifth nationally. That is a dramatic improvement from the Horns’ 40-23-1 record in the 12 seasons prior to Brown’s arrival. Under Brown, the Horns have outscored their opponents by an average of 41-16 (3,065-1,214) and outgained them by an average of 454.5 yards to 277.4 (33,631-20,527) at home.

JAMAIL FIELD STREAKS: As a result of its loss to UCLA on Sept. 24, Texas had its string of 16-straight home wins snapped, which was the sixth-longest streak on UT record and the fifth-longest active streak in the nation, behind Oklahoma (33), Boise St. (27), Utah (20) and Houston (18). Including that 16-game streak, the Horns have posted three of the six-longest home winning streaks in school history during the Mack Brown era. The Horns won 20 in a row at home from 1999-2003 (third-longest in school history). Then, from 2003-06, Texas won 16-straight home games, which is tied for the fourth-best string on UT record. The longest home win-ning streak in school history is a 41-game streak from 1968-76. Texas’ 26-game home intraconference winning streak from 1999-2006 is the second-longest streak in Big 12 history.

THIRTEENTH YEAR UNDER MACK BROWN: With Mack Brown in his 13th season at Texas, he is just the fourth coach in the 117 years of Texas football to coach the Longhorns for at least a decade and just the second UT coach to win 100

games while at Texas. Darrell Royal, who won 167 games, has the longest tenure at 20 years, while D.X. Bible and Fred Akers each coached in Austin for 10 seasons. Brown is the first coach in UT history to post 200 victories during a career. With a 131-28 (.824) record at UT, Brown has led Texas to the nation’s most victories over the last 13 years. In addition, Brown has guided the Horns to a 104-17 (.860) mark over the last 10 seasons, which is the nation’s best record over that timespan, and includes six 11-win seasons (2001, ’02, ’04, ’05, ’08 and ’09). The 11-win seasons are third-best to UT’s 13-win campaigns in 2005 and ’09 and its 12-win season in ’08. Texas is the only school in the nation that has posted at least 10 wins in each of the last nine seasons (a UT record). Brown is the lone coach nationally to lead his team to nine or more victories in 14 straight seasons. His 12 straight seasons of nine or more victories at UT are a school best. Under Brown, the Horns have posted Top 10 finishes seven times in the last nine years (2001, ’02, ’04, ’05, ’07, ’08 and ’09). Prior to his arrival, the last time UT finished in the Top 10 was 1983. In addi-tion, Texas has played in a bowl game for a school-record 12-consecutive seasons, bet-tering the previous streak of nine straight from 1977-85. Brown’s personal strings, including time at North Carolina, go back even further. He has posted 20 consecutive winning seasons and taken his teams to 18 consecutive bowl games. Both of those marks are the longest active streaks in the nation.

200 CAREER VICTORIES: With a vic-tory against Texas A&M in 2008, Mack Brown became the first head coach in UT history to reach the 200-victory pla-teau during a career and he currently has a career record of 217-102-1 (.680). Brown’s 217 career wins rank 13th on the NCAA all-time victories list. Brown

In addition, Brown is one of only eight active coaches at FBS schools who have won 100 games at their current school (131-28/.824). Of the 80 coaches that have ever won 100 games at a FBS school, Brown is the 14th fastest to reach the cen-tury mark (124 games) and the third-fastest among active coaches.

UT’S NO. 2 ALL-TIME: Mack Brown has won 131 games at Texas. He is in second place on UT’s all-time list behind only Darrell Royal, who tallied 167 vic-tories from 1957-76. Brown moved ahead of Fred Akers, who posted 86 wins from 1977-86, during the 2006 season.

DOUBLE-FIGURE SUCCESS: With 13 wins in 2009, Texas extended its nation-leading streak of 10-win seasons to nine. The nine straight years with at least 10 wins is the second-longest streak in NCAA his-tory, trailing only Florida State’s 14-year streak from 1987-2000. In addition, Texas posted 12-win seasons in back-to-back years for the first time in school history. Prior to Brown’s arrival, the Horns had never before posted consecutive 11-win campaigns let alone consecutive 12-win seasons. As a matter of fact, Brown has led the Horns to six seasons with 11 or more wins. That compares to the four 11-win seasons (1963, ’69, ’77 an ’83) in Texas history before Brown’s arrival in 1998.

STRING OF SUCCESS: With a 2009 No. 2 final ranking, Texas has finished the

year ranked among the nation’s Top 15 in each of the last 10 seasons, a Longhorn best. In addition, UT has finished in the Top 10 in seven of the last nine seasons (2001, ’02, ’04, ’05, ’07, ’08 and ’09) and in the Top Five in four of the last six (’04, ’05, ’08 and ’09). You have to go back to Darrell Royal’s string of success in the late 1960s, when the Horns finished among the Top Five four out of five years (1968-72), to equal that consistency in UT history.

REWRITE THE RECORD BOOK: During Mack Brown’s 13-year tenure at Texas, the Horns have set 215 school records. The offense has led the way by setting 136 team, individual, game, season and career records. UT also has set 14 defensive records, 32 special teams records and 28 freshman records under Brown. In addition, the Horns have set every major school attendance record during the Mack Brown era.

BOWL SUCCESS: Texas played in a bowl game for a UT-record 12th straight season in 2009, bettering the previous mark of nine-straight from 1977-85. The Horns have won seven of their last nine bowls and have an 8-4 record under Mack Brown. In the 12 years prior to Brown’s arrival, Texas went to five bowls and was 2-3. Brown is the first UT coach since Darrell Royal, who was 8-7-1 in bowl games, to post a .500 or better bowl record. With a 24-21 victory over No. 10 Ohio State in the 2009 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Texas won bowl games in five consecutive years for the first time in school history (2004-08). The Horns did win five straight previously (1963-64, ’66, ’68-69), but the streak was interrupted by seasons that did not result in a bowl. Brown’s personal string, including time at North Carolina, goes back even further. He has directed his teams to 18 straight bowls, the longest active streak in the nation.

LONGHORN RETURNEES: Entering the 2010 season, Texas returns 44 letter-men (25 offense/17 defense/two special-ists) and 18 players with starting experi-ence (11 offense/seven defense) from the 2009 squad. The 18 players with starting

experience have combined to start 260 games (124 offense/136 defense). When you add in five other returnees, who have combined to start 27 games (12 offense/15 defense), Texas’ 2010 squad features 23 players with starting experience on offense or defense. That group has combined to start 287 games (136 offense/151 defense).

NATIONAL AWARDS WATCH: The Longhorns already have five players named to 2010 preseason national awards watch lists. Senior DE Sam Acho, a Lott Trophy semifinalist, honorable mention All-Big 12 performer and Academic All-American in 2009, was named to the Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy, Nagurski Trophy, Outland Trophy and Hendricks Award watch lists. Joining Acho on the Nagurski Trophy list are senior CB Curtis Brown, a 2009 hon-orable mention All-American, and junior CB Aaron Williams. Brown and Williams are joined by junior S Blake Gideon on the Thorpe Award watch list. Also on the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award watch lists is senior OT Kyle Hix, who is moving to left tackle after spending his first three seasons at right tackle.

ALL-AROUND ACHO: Senior DE Sam Acho has not only been successful on the field during his three-year career, but he’s also been an academic standout and a pres-ence in the community. Most recently, Acho was named to the 2010 AllState AFCA Good Works Team and is one of just 11 FBS players to be honored for their com-mitment to service and volunteerism. Last season, Acho was a semifinalist for the Lott Trophy, which honors the nation’s Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year with IMPACT standing for: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity. He was also tabbed honorable mention All-Big 12 for his performance on the field and an Academic All-American for his diligence in the classroom. On pace to earn a double major in business honors and marketing in December, Acho is a two-time Academic All-District 6 selection, a six-time member of UT’s Athletics Director’s Honor

Texas is the only team in the nation to be ranked in each of the last 11 BCS Final Polls.

BCS STANDINGS HISTORY

Roll, a two-time Arthur Ashe Award honor-ee and the recipient of the 2009 Texas Exes Leadership Award. He is a member of UT’s Student Advisory Council, was one of UT’s representatives at the Big 12’s Conference on Black Student Government and repre-sented UT at the 2009 NCAA Leadership Conference. Acho is one of UT’s regulars at community service events both on and off campus. In addition, he joins his brother, Emmanuel, and father on medical mission trips to Nigeria each summer. On the field, Acho earned a spot on the prestigious 2010 Preseason Playboy All-America team, was tabbed preseason first-team All-Big 12 and is on the watch list for the Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy, Nagurski Trophy, Outland Trophy and Hendricks Award.

ACHO’S NUMBERS: During his career, Acho has seen his numbers increase from 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks as a freshman to 16 tackles and three sacks as a sophomore. Then, as a junior, Acho broke out with 63 tackles and 10 sacks, which led the team and tied for 20th nationally. He also tallied four fumble recoveries, which tied for the most nationally (t-No. 3 on UT’s single-season list). Overall, he’s posted 105 tackles, 17.5 sacks, 26 TFL, seven PBD, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 42 career games (18 starts).

2010 SENIORITY: A group of 17 seniors, who have played in a combined 609 games (171 starts), are leading the 2010 Longhorns and have guided the program to 38-6 record, including an 18-2 mark at home. OT Kyle Hix (44 games/32 starts), OG Michael Huey (43 games/16 starts), WR James Kirkendoll (35 games/19 starts), WR John Chiles (33 games/nine starts), RB Vondrell McGee (36 games/seven starts) and TE Greg Smith (44 games/11 starts) have all started games on the offensive side of the ball, while DE Sam Acho (42 games/18 starts), CB Chykie Brown (42 games/23 starts), CB Curtis Brown (44 games/22 starts), LB Dustin Earnest (42 games/one start) and LB Jared Norton (41 games/eight starts) return with first-team experience on defense. In addi-tion, OG Tray Allen (31 games), P John Gold (21 games), DE Eddie Jones (42 games/three starts), OT Britt Mitchell (43 games/three starts) and OG Steve Moore (26 games) return with game experience.

2009 SENIOR CLASS: The 2009 group of 21 seniors was one of the most accomplished classes in the Brown era. Collectively, they

helped the Longhorns post a 45-8 (.849) overall record over the last four years and a 26-6 (.813) mark in regular season Big 12 Conference games. The class’ 45 wins tied the four-year UT victory record (since freshmen became eligible in 1972) set by the 2005 (45-6) and ’08 (45-7) senior classes. The 21 seniors also were 23-3 (.885) at home and 18-3 (.857) against in-state foes during their four seasons. Out of the 21 seniors, 14 earned their degrees prior to playing in the Citi BCS National Championship game against Alabama. In addition, 20 of the 21 seniors were on pace to earn their degrees by the end of this summer. The seniors helped Texas post at least 10 wins in nine consecu-tive seasons, becoming just the second team in college football history to post a streak of at least nine consecutive 10-win seasons. They also helped lead the Horns to a ninth straight Top 15 finish for the first time in school history. UT’s 2009 senior class played in four bowl games, going 3-1, and its lowest final national ranking was No. 13 in 2006. They finished in the Top 10 three times, including the first regular-season No. 1 ranking since 1984.

DEPARTED SENIORS: Texas enters the 2010 season seeking to replace a core group of 16 seniors, who played in a combined 654 games (367 offense/287 defense). Out of that group, the senior class produced 11 players that combined to start 211 games (76 offense/135 defense). QB Colt McCoy (53 games/53 starts), WR Jordan Shipley (53 games/35 starts) and linemen Chris Hall (45 games/37 starts), Charlie Tanner (45 games/33 starts) and Adam Ulatoski (50 games/44 starts) were starters on the offensive side of the ball, while DT Ben Alexander (38 games/four starts), CB Deon Beasley (45 games/12 starts), DT Lamarr Houston (50 games/33 starts), LB Sergio Kindle (46 games/25 starts) and LB Roddrick Muckelroy (41 games/30 starts) led the way for the defense. DB Clark Ford (15 games), P Trevor Gerland (12 games), DS Will Harvey (40 games), TE Mac McWhorter (46 games) and place-kickers Ryan Bailey (29 games)and Hunter Lawrence (46 games) were integral parts of the 2009 team. The departing seniors were led by four-year starting QB Colt McCoy, a third-round NFL Draft pick by the Cleveland Browns, who finished his career as the NCAA’s all-time winningest quarterback with 45 victories and was a two-time Walter Camp Football Foundation National Player of the Year.

NATIONAL RANKINGS

time All-America QB, McCoy also won the Maxwell Award (collegiate player of the year), Davey O’Brien Award (nation’s top QB), Manning Award (nation’s top QB after bowl games) and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award (nation’s top senior QB) as a senior. McCoy finished his career as the sec-ond-most accurate passer in NCAA history (70.3%). Shipley, a third-round selection by the Cincinnati Bengals, was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award as a senior and finished his career as UT’s all-time leader in recep-tions with 248 and second in yards (3,191) and TDs (33). Also a dangerous return man, Shipley, a two-time All-American, tied the UT record with three punt return TDs and four total kick return TDs (three punts/one kickoff). In addition, the offense will look to replace three lineman in Hall, Tanner and Ulatoski. Hall and Ulatoski both earned All-America honors as seniors, while Tanner was a two-time All-Big 12 honoree. Hall also was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy (nation’s top center) and Ulatoski earned Academic All-America honors. On defense, Houston, Kindle and Muckelroy were all taken in the 2010 NFL Draft. Houston, a second-round pick of the Oakland Raiders, was a two-time All-Big 12 selection. He fin-ished his career with 170 tackles, 15 sacks and 43 TFL. Kindle, a second-round selec-tion by the Balitmore Ravens, was the first player to ever be named a finalist for both the Butkus Award (nation’s top linebacker) and Hendricks Award (nation’s top defen-sive end). An All-American and two-time All-Big 12 selection, he posted 176 tackles, 16 sacks and 43 TFL during his career. Muckelroy, a fourth-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals, was a two-time All-Big 12 selection. He notched 291 tackles, 5.5 sacks and 24 TFL during his career. In addi-tion to the seniors, the Horns must replace Earl Thomas, who was an early entree into the NFL Draft and was selected with the 14th overall pick by the Seattle Seahawks. A consensus All-America selection and a finalist for the Thorpe Award (nation’s top defensive back), Thomas posted a UT record eight INTs in 2009, which was tied for second nationally, and his 24 passes defended led the country. In just two sea-sons, Thomas tallied 149 tackles, 10 INTs and 33 PBU. On special teams, Bailey and Lawrence finished their careers as two of the most accurate kickers in UT history. Bailey was 25-of-30 on FGs (.833/No. 2 on UT’s all-time list) and 92-of-94 on PATs, with a streak of 60 consecutive makes (No. 3 on UT’s all-time list). Lawrence ranks first in

both categories having gone 34-of-39 (.872) on FGs and 121-of-122 (.992) on PATs. Lawrence’s streak of 76 consecutive made PATs ranks second on UT’s all-time list.

OFFENSIVE RETURNEES: Texas returns 13 players in 2010 that have starting experience at almost every offensive posi-tion. That group helped pace an offense that ranked third nationally in scoring offense (39.3 ppg), 22nd in passing offense (273.6 ypg) and 29th in total offense (421.2 ypg). Back from 2009 is a quartet of wide receivers in seniors John Chiles (33 games/nine starts) and James Kirkendoll (35 games/19 starts), junior Malcolm Williams (31 games/15 starts) and sophomore Marquise Goodwin (18 games/four starts). The group combined to catch 151 passes for 1,609 yards and 12 TDs in 2009. There is also a quartet of running backs that returns with starting experience in senior Vondrell McGee (36 games/seven starts), juniors Cody Johnson (30 games/four starts) and Fozzy Whittaker (22 games/eight starts) and sophomore Tre’ Newton (18 games/six starts). In 2009, that group rushed for 1,399 yards and 24 TDs on 312 carries (4.5 ypc). Up front, the Horns return three linemen with start-ing experience in seniors OT Kyle Hix (44 games/32 starts) and OG Michael Huey (43 games/16 starts) and junior C David Snow (31 games/11 starts), while seniors OG Tray Allen (31 games) and OT Britt Mitchell (43 games/three starts) have seen game action.

DEFENSIVE RETURNEES: The Longhorns’ defense returns seven starters that cover every level of the defense and 10 players with starting experience for the 2010 season. Texas’ 10 returnees with starting experience have combined for 159 career starts. The veteran group is led by three seniors in DE Sam Acho, CB Chykie Brown and CB Curtis Brown. Acho, who is a mem-ber of the prestigious Playboy Preseason All-America team, was a semifinalist for the Lott Trophy last season and is currently a member of the Lott Trophy, Lombardi Award, Nagurski Trophy, Outland Trophy and Hendricks Award watch lists. He has played in 42 career games, making 18 starts. Chykie Brown has appeared in 42 games, making 24 starts, including 12 starts in 2009. Curtis Brown was an honorable men-tion All-America selection last season and is currently on the Nagurski Trophy watch list. He has seen action in 44 games, making 22 starts, including 14 last season. In addition, LB Jared Norton (41 games/eight starts),

LB Dustin Earnest (42 games/one start) and DE Eddie Jones (42 games/three starts in 2010) will provide veteran leadership for the group. Juniors LB Emmanuel Acho, S Blake Gideon, DT Kheeston Randall, LB Keenan Robinson and CB Aaron Williams also return with starting experience. Acho has played in 28 career games and made two starts last season. Gideon, whose six INTs in 2009 are tied for seventh on UT’s single-season list, has started in all 31 career games and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last season. Randall has seen action in 26 career games, making 10 starts last season. Robinson is UT’s leading returning tackler and has played in 30 career games, starting all 14 in 2009 and earning honor-able mention All-Big 12 honors. Williams has played in 30 games and has made 18 starts, including 14 in 2009. In addition, juniors S Nolan Brewster (27 games) and S Christian Scott (18 games), sophomores DE/DT Alex Okafor (18 games), LB/FB Ryan Roberson (18 games) and S Kenny Vaccaro (17 games) return with experience.

time since it did it three times in a row from 1968-70. Since UT first played both teams in the same year in 1900, the Horns have managed to beat them both in the same season 37 times. But, in the 39 years since 1970, the Horns have managed to beat both rivals in the same season just eight times, with four of those coming dur-ing the Mack Brown era. Texas has beaten Oklahoma and Texas A&M in the same year in 1900, ’01, ’04, ’06, ’16, ’23, ’30, ’32, ’34, ’36, ’40-47, ’58-65, ’68-70, ’77, ’81, ’83, ’90, ’98, ’05, ’08 and ’09.

NO. 2 ALL-TIME: In 2008, Texas moved ahead of Notre Dame for second place on the NCAA all-time victory list. At 848 victories, Texas trails only Michigan in all-time wins. With the Longhorns in second place on that list, it marks the first time since 1932 that Michigan and Notre Dame do not occupy the one-two spots in all-time wins. Since Mack Brown arrived in 1998, Texas has posted a 131-28 (.824) record and moved ahead of Alabama, Notre Dame and Nebraska on the all-time victory chart.

BROWN’S TOP 10 HORNS: Mack Brown revived the Horns as a Top 10 regular begin-ning with a No. 5 preseason ranking in 2001. Since then, the Horns have earned a Top 10

standing in 125 of the last 149 AP polls. All totaled, UT has spent 132 weeks ranked among the Top 10 since Brown arrived in 1998. In the same 12-year stretch prior to his arrival, UT spent just 16 weeks rated among the Top 10. Brown has led the Horns to a final Top 10 ranking in seven of the last nine seasons. In 2008, Brown led Texas to its first regular-season No. 1 ranking since 1984. In 2005, he led UT to its first No. 1 ranking to end the season since 1969. Before Brown took over the program, the last time UT earned a Top 10 finish was 1983. From the start of the 1984 season to Brown’s arrival in 1998, UT was in the Top 10 just 28 times in 14 seasons.

UT AND THE AP TOP 10: As a result of its loss at Kansas State in 2006, Texas had its string of 46-straight weeks in The AP Top 10 snapped. Prior to that, the last time the Horns were not among The AP Top 10 was in the final poll of the 2003 season. The 46-straight weeks was the longest for the Horns in the Mack Brown era. The longest Texas streak in The AP Top 10 is 60 weeks from 1961-65. With its loss to UCLA (Sept. 24, 2010), Texas had its streak of 33 consecutive weeks ranked in the Top 10 broken. In addition, prior to the poll on Sept. 12, 2010, the Horns had been ranked in The AP Top 5 for 30 consecutive weeks, which was the longest active streak in the nation and is the longest streak in the Mack Brown era, bettering a 19-week streak from 2005-06.

TEN STRAIGHT TOP 15 FINISHES: Texas’ No. 2 ranking in 2009 marked the 10th straight year the Horns finished ranked among the nation’s Top 15. That is the first time UT has ever accomplished that feat. The 2009 standing followed a No. 3 ranking in 2008, a No. 10 ranking in 2007, a No. 13 ranking in 2006, a No. 1 ranking in 2005, a No. 5 ranking in 2004, a No. 12 ranking in 2003, a No. 6 ranking in 2002, a No. 5 ranking in 2001 and a No. 12 ranking in 2000.

WIRE-TO-WIRE: Texas is the nation’s only school that has both started and fin-ished the season ranked among the Top 15 in each of the last 10 seasons.

POLL POSITION: Texas holds the nation’s longest streak for consecutive weeks in the BCS Top Five. Its 16 con-secutive BCS Top 5 rankings are tied with Alabama and Florida is third (14). Texas’ 162 straight weeks in The AP Poll also is

the nation’s longest active string and the sixth-longest in the history of the poll.

TACKLING THE TOP 25: Texas is 26-7 (.788) in its last 33 games versus Top 25 opponents, including a 20-4 mark (.833) in its last 24 match-ups. All four losses have come to Top-10 ranked teams. That’s a continuation of the success the Longhorns have had against ranked foes during the Mack Brown era. In Brown’s 12 years in Austin, UT is 33-18 (.647) versus Top 25 opponents. That compares to a 14-31-2 (40.5%) mark in the 12 years before Brown arrived. In fact, the Longhorns have posted a winning record against ranked opponents in each of the last nine seasons as com-pared to just two seasons in the 12 prior to Brown’s arrival.

AP TOP 25 STREAK AT UT RECORD 162 STRAIGHT WEEKS: Texas has been ranked among The Associated Press Top 25 for a UT-record and nation-leading 162 straight weeks, bettering a 114-week streak from 1968-76. It is the sixth-longest streak in the history of the poll. The next longest active streak is Ohio State’s 89 weeks. Prior to the poll on Sept. 12, 2010, the Horns had been ranked in The AP Top 5 for 30 consecutive weeks, which was the longest active streak

in the nation and is the longest streak in the Mack Brown era. Texas has finished the year ranked among The AP Top 25 in each of Mack Brown’s 12 years in Austin. That marks the first time in school his-tory Texas has finished in The AP Top 25 for 12 straight years, bettering the previ-ous record of eight straight seasons from 1968-75. Dating back to his days at UNC, Brown’s teams have finished the year ranked among The AP Top 25 in each of the last 14 seasons, including nine Top 10 finishes.

UT-RECORD 190 STRAIGHT WEEKS IN COACHES POLL: UT has been ranked among the USA Today Coaches Poll for 190 straight weeks dating back to late in the 1998 season. The 190 straight weeks is the longest UT streak in any poll and the nation’s longest active streak in the coaches poll. The next longest active streak is 89 weeks by Ohio State and Florida. The Horns’ previous longest streak in the coaches poll was 54 weeks from 1977-80. Texas has been ranked in the first and last coaches poll in all 12 of Mack Brown’s seasons in Austin, a UT best. Dating back to his days at UNC, Brown’s teams have finished the year

ranked among the coaches’ Top 25 in each of the last 14 seasons, including nine Top 10 finishes.

CONFERENCE COMPETITION: Mack Brown, who has guided the Horns to the 2005 and ’09 Big 12 Championships and has won or shared the Big 12 South Division Championship six times, is 81-16 (.835) in 13 seasons of Big 12 play. That is the best league record over that span, bettering Oklahoma (75-21), Nebraska (59-37) and Texas Tech (57-40). UT has won 50 of its last 57 games (.877) against Big 12 foes. The Horns had tied the school record by winning 21 straight con-ference games from 2004-06 before the streak was snapped at Kansas State in 2006. The record of 21 straight confer-ence victories was set from 1968-71 when Texas was competing in the Southwest Conference. The 21-straight Big 12 vic-tories also marked the longest streak in league history. Currently, Texas has a 13-game winning streak in league play, which is the longest active streak in the conference. At 89-24 (.787), Texas has the top intraconference record since the Big 12 formed in 1996.

UT’S BIG 12 SUCCESS AT HOME: Texas is 39-3 (.929) at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field versus league opponents during the Mack Brown era. The 39 home victories are the most by any team in the conference over the last 12 years. In addition, the Horns set the league record with a 26-game home winning streak over Big 12 opponents, which was snapped in 2006. Prior to 2006, the last time UT had lost a home game against a league foe was 1999 (35-17 to No. 13 Kansas State).

ROAD WARRIORS: Texas is 63-21 (.750) away from home (road and neutral sites) over the last 13 years compared to a 36-38-1 (.487) record in the 12 years prior to Mack Brown’s arrival in 1998. The Horns’ 61-18 (.772) mark in road and neutral-site games since 1999 is the nation’s best record over that span. Texas is 48-9 (.842) on the road (not including neutral-site games) and 41-5 (.891) versus unranked road foes during the Mack Brown era. Of the nine true-road-game losses in Brown’s 12-year tenure, two came in his first three games at UT. Prior to Brown’s arriv-al, UT posted just four winning road records in the 12 seasons leading up to 1998. All totalled during that time, UT was just 27-30 (.474) in true road games. The Longhorns have won

43 of their last 47 true road games (.914). The only losses during that stretch were a group of shootouts, 42-38 at Texas Tech in 2002, 45-42 at Kansas State in 2006, 38-30 at Texas A&M in 2007 and 39-33 at No. 6 Texas Tech in 2008. UT’s loss at KSU in ’06 snapped a school-record streak of 17 consecutive road wins. The 17-straight road wins eclipsed the previous record of 13 set from 1981-84. UT also won 12 consecutive road games from 2000-02. In addition, UT is currently on a streak of 11 consecutive non-conference road wins, which is a school record, bettering the previous streak of seven from 1956-63.

BIG 12 ROAD SUCCESS: Texas has won 32 of its last 36 (.889) true Big 12 road games (not including neutral-site games), including a league-record 13 consecutive conference road wins from 2002-06. The Horns are 36-6 (.857) in league road contests under Mack Brown. Highlighting the Horns’ road record under Brown are victories at Nebraska (1998) to end the Huskers’ nation-best 47-game home winning streak, another win that snapped a Nebraska 26-game home winning streak (2002) and a victory to break Oklahoma State’s 10-game winning streak (2003).

best at the collegiate level, but since Mack Brown’s arrival, it has become one of the premier sources of talent for the NFL as well. Currently, Texas has 45 players on NFL rosters. The 45 players are the most nationally and lead the Big 12. And, they aren’t just roster players either. Of the 45 Longhorns, 34 have started games during their NFL careers, including 31 who were 2009 starters and 29 that started as rookies. Among that group of 45, eight have earned a spot in a Pro Bowl and six have played in a Super Bowl with four coming away as Super Bowl Champions. The group also represents a wide array of positions with at least three NFL Longhorns in each position group except for quarterback. The offen-sive and defensive lines lead the way with nine defensive linemen and eight offensive linemen. The nine defensive linemen rank second nationally and the eight offensive linemen are tops in the nation. UT’s seven defensive backs in the NFL are tied for fourth nationally. The Horns four running backs and three tight ends are both tied for second nationally. In addition, Texas has the most Top 10 and Top Five picks in the NFL Draft since 1999. The Horns’ eight Top 10 picks are tied with USC and their six Top Five picks lead LSU, Miami, Penn State and USC (three).

DKR’S RENOVATIONS: As Texas football proceeds through the 21st century, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium continues to evolve as a state-of-the-art facility at the forefront of college foot-ball. Following the 2008 season, Texas

installed FieldTurf as its playing surface and permanent bleachers were added to the south end of the stadium. Combined with the previous year’s north end zone project, DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium now has a stadium capacity of 100,119, which is the fifth-largest college stadium in the country and the largest college stadium in the southwest. The north end zone expansion project that was completed prior to the 2008 season featured an upper deck, club seating, an academic center and a war memorial plaza. The expansion added approximately 2,108 club seats and 47 suites. The lower deck of the north end zone was completed for the 2007 season. Another major upgrade was made prior to 2007, when a new video board was installed at the south end of the stadium. At the time, the scoreboard was the nation’s largest high-definition video display board thanks to DAKtronics. The $8-million Prostar Video Board is 55 feet high by 134 feet wide. In addition, the interior of the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletics Complex, most notably the players’ lounge, is con-sistently being upgraded. Prior to 2009, a new academic center was constructed. It is approximately three times the size of the old one at Moncrief-Neuhaus. It features writing, math and computer labs, numerous tutoring areas, a multimedia classroom and academic staff office space. It is all part of a $176.5 million renovation project at the Longhorns’ stadium.

“FAN”-TASTIC: Texas has been one of the best-attended programs in the nation over the past 10 years. The Horns, who have played in front of a sellout crowd in their last 61 home games, have attracted 49 of the top 50 crowds in UT history since Mack Brown took over in 1998. In addi-tion, the top 25 home crowds at Texas have come since ’06. Texas’ school-record sea-son-ticket sales of 84,100 in 2009 are more than double the 39,743 sold in 1997, the UT record when Brown arrived. With the completion of the stadium expansion proj-ect, the Horns opened 2009 against ULM by hosting 101,096 fans. They upped the single-game attendance record to 101,297 during the Texas Tech game. Then, against Kansas, UT bettered the record with a

showing of 101,357 fans. The 2010 season opened with the second-largest crowd in school history with 101,339 then Texas once again upped the single-game atten-dance record hosting a crowd of 101,437 against UCLA on Sept. 24, which is the largest crowd to see a college sporting event in the Southwest.. UT’s previous sin-gle-game attendance record of 98,621 was established when it hosted Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night in 2008. Texas also set a total-attendance record in 2009 after play-ing in front of 1,163,845 fans, breaking the 2008 mark of 1,066,158. Its home season-attendance record came in 2008 with a total of 686,324, which bettered the Horns’ pre-vious season best of 619,534, set in 2006. In addition, Texas has attracted record crowds in nine of its road games over the past five seasons, at Oklahoma State (58,516, 2009), vs. Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl (96,009, 2009 and 92,182, 2008), at Texas Tech (60,454, 2010, 56,333, 2008 and 56,158, 2006), at UTEP (53,415, 2008), at Texas A&M (88,253, 2007) and at Nebraska (85,187, 2006).

CAPS AND GOWNS: In 12 seasons under Mack Brown, the Longhorn football program has had a great deal of success when it comes to graduating its student-athletes. Over the last four years, that success in the classroom has reached an all-time high. By the end of the 2010 summer semester, 104 of Texas’ 120 (86.7%) seniors, who completed their eligibil-ity at Texas during that stretch, were expected to have earned their degrees. Early gradu-ation also has been a positive trend at UT over the last five years. During that timespan, over 50 percent (62-of-120) of Texas’ seniors graduated prior to the Longhorns’ bowl game. The Longhorns’ 2009 class included 20-of-21 seniors that are on pace to earn their degrees by the summer of 2010 with 14 earn-ing their degrees prior to the BCS National Championship game. The 2008 class featured 19-of-23 (82.6%) graduates by the end of spring with all 23 on schedule to complete their degrees by the spring of 2010. Twenty-

two of 24 seniors (91.7%) from the class of 2007 have graduated with the other two on pace to complete their degrees in 2009. From the 2006 group of 23 seniors, 19 (82.6%) have graduated and four more are less than two semesters short of their

HORNS’ FINISHING TOUCH: One of the mantras of the Texas football program under Mack brown is “finish,” and the Horns have done just that since Brown arrived. Over Brown’s 12-year tenure, UT has gone 27-5 (.844) in games decided by four points or less and 19-4 (.826) in games decided by three points or less. The Longhorns’ have won 16 of their last 17 (.941) games decided by three points or less. The only loss came in a shootout at Kansas State, 45-42, in 2006, when Colt McCoy was sidelined by injury after the opening drive. The success under Brown is an improvement from the 12 years prior to his arrival when UT went 18-15-2 (.543) in games decided by four points or less and 16-11-2 (.586) in games decided by three points or less.

COMEBACKS UNDER MACK BROWN: During Mack Brown’s 12 sea-sons at Texas, the Horns have registered

After giving up the TD to OU with 4:39 left in the third quarter, the Horns’ defense didn’t allow the Sooners into Texas territory for the rest of the game, allowing just 35 yards on 17 plays (2.1 ypp) and intercepting two passes. vs. NO. 10 OHIO STATE (2008): Texas trailed 6-3 at the half before taking a 17-6 lead entering the fourth quarter. But, the Buckeyes ran off 15 straight points to take a 21-17 lead with just 2:05 remaining.

Horns erased two 11-point deficits in the first half and trailed by one, 21-20, at halftime. OU went up 28-20 before Texas scored 10 straight to take a 30-28 lead late in the third quarter. OU answered with a TD early in the fourth to make it 35-30, but UT scored the game’s final 15 points over the last 7:37 to win, 45-35.

TD drives, including his game-winning eight-yard TD run with just 19 seconds left, to secure the win and the National Championship. Prior to 2005: The Horns notched four second-half comebacks and a fourth-quar-ter comeback in 2004, including a 28-point comeback against Oklahoma State, the largest in school history. UT also regis-tered a halftime comeback in ’02, a fourth-quarter comeback in ’01, two halftime comebacks in 1999 and two fourth-quarter comebacks in ’98.

OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION: In 13 sea-sons under Mack Brown and offensive coordinator Greg Davis, UT’s offense has produced 10 of the top 11 passing seasons, 11 of the top 13 total yardage campaigns and the top nine scoring years in school history. The Horns have also averaged at least 200 yards both rushing and passing in four of the 12 seasons. During their tenure, the Longhorns have registered 136 school records, forty 50-point games and five of the top seven total offense games on school record. In addition, UT has produced forty-five 500-yard total offense performances (there are only 68 of them in the 117 years of Texas football) and has recorded 10 of the school’s twenty 600-yard total offense games. The Horns’ balanced attack has produced at least 400 yards of offense in 79 of its last 121 games (65.3%) and has registered 200 yards both passing and rushing 47 times under Brown and Davis. Texas has scored at least 25 points in 65 of its last 77 games (84.4%). That includes a streak of at least 28 points in a UT-best 19 consecutive games from 2007-08, bettering the previous mark of 12 straight (2005-06). Texas also posted an 11-game streak from 2000-01. Prior to Brown’s arrival, the longest streak of scoring at least 28 points was seven games.

UT OFFENSIVE SUCCESS(SINGLE SEASON)

In 158 games under Mack Brown, Texas has won 93-of-104 (89.4%) when scoring first.

DID YOU KNOW?

(41st NCAA). UT posted at least 400 yards of total offense in 12 of its 13 games, at least 500 yards in five games and posted a 600-yard game against Rice. Overall, Texas’ 4,008 passing yards set a school record by almost 500 yards, while its 551 points and 6,185 total yards rank second on UT’s single-season list. Texas ranked third nationally on third down, converting 95-of-173 (54.9%), and 16th in red zone

offense after converting 61-of-68 chances (90.0%, 52 TDs/nine FGs).

2007: The Texas offense finished the 2007 campaign as one of only 10 teams nation-ally to average 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing. The Horns posted 255.4 yards passing (39th NCAA), 207.5 yards rushing (17th NCAA), 462.9 total yards (13th NCAA) and 37.2 points per game (14th NCAA). UT produced at least 400 yards of total offense in nine games and at least 500 yards in five, while scoring at least 30 points in nine of the 13 games. UT eclipsed the 200-yard rushing plateau on seven occasions and reached at least 300 yards rushing in three of its last five games.

2006: Texas finished the 2006 season ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense (35.9 ppg), ninth in passing efficiency (155.9 rating) and 22nd in total offense (391.5 ypg). The Horns registered at least 400 yards in seven of the 13 games and scored at least 35 points in eight contests.

2005: UT led the nation in scoring offense (50.2 ppg), ranked second in rushing offense (274.9 ypg) and finished third in total offense (512.1 ypg). The Horns produced at least 600 yards of offense three times in 2005, which was a first in UT history. Texas also came close to hav-ing three more 600-yard games with 591 against La.-Lafayette, 585 at Missouri and 556 in the Rose Bowl versus No. 1 USC. UT’s 600-yard games came in three consecutive contests against Oklahoma State (606), Baylor (645) and Kansas (617). Texas rushed for at least 300 yards six times in 2005, matching 2004’s total for the most by a Texas team since 1977. UT averaged a balanced 274.9 rushing yards and 237.2 passing yards in 2005, marking just the fifth time in school his-tory the Horns averaged better than 200 yards both rushing and passing.

Prior to 2005: UT ranked second in the nation in rushing (299.2 ypg), seventh in total offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scor-ing (35.3 ppg) in 2004. The Horns posted at least 600 yards of offense twice. They recorded 673 yards of offense (third-most in UT history) versus North Texas and 600 total 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 history UT averaged better than 200 yards for each. Texas also averaged 439.2 yards of offense (20th NCAA) while averaging 41.0 points per game (sixth NCAA) in 2003. That came one year after UT averaged 250.1 passing yards and 33.8 points per game (16th NCAA) in 2002. In 2001, the Horns’ led the Big 12 in scoring (39.2 ppg/sixth NCAA) and pass efficiency (136.1 rating/27th NCAA). Brown’s first UT squad produced a school-best 692 yards against Rice in 1998 and averaged a bal-anced 266.5 yards passing per game and 204.2 yards rushing per game.

LONGEST DRIVE: Leading 17-14 with 3:51 remaining in the third quarter at Texas Tech this season, the offense took ball control to a new level by starting on its own 20-yard line and putting together the longest drive in terms of plays and time in the Mack Brown era at Texas. The 22-play, 9:25 drive surpassed the previ-ous highs of 19 plays and 9:04 set on a drive at Iowa State in 2002. The resulting TD gave Texas its final margin of 24-14 and left just 9:26 to go in the game.

SCORING SPREE: Texas averaged 39.0 points per game in the last decade (2000-09), which ranked second nationally and

first among BCS conference schools. The Horns averaged at least 35 ppg in nine of the 10 seasons, including three seasons of at least 40 ppg. In 2005, UT set a then-NCAA record with 652 total points and a school record by averaging 50.2 ppg. During the Mack Brown era, Texas has averaged at least 34 ppg in each of the 12 completed seasons and has hit that mark in two of the first four games in 2010. In contrast, Texas averaged at least 30 ppg only 12 times in the 45 seasons prior to Brown’s arrival.

RECORD-BREAKING YEAR: In 2005, Texas not only set records, it shat-tered them, in several team offensive categories. The Longhorns set an NCAA record for points scored in a season with 652. The previous high was 624 by Nebraska in 1983, and the previous UT record was 533 in 2003. The team also set school marks with 50.2 points per 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 in NCAA history to average 50 or more points and 500 or more yards per game for a season, and the first to do it since 1995. Texas scored at least 40 points in each of its last 11 games and 12-of-13 contests on the season. In 2005, only one other team in the nation (USC) scored 40 points in more than nine games. Texas scored at least 50 points in a game seven times in 2005. UT was the only school in the nation besides USC to accomplish that (versus NCAA Div. I-A). That is the most 50-point games the Horns have ever had in a season, surpassing the previous best of four set in 2003. As for 60-point games, Texas registered at least 60 points four times, which was also a UT first.

PRODUCTIVE PERFORMERS: Since Mack Brown and offensive coor-dinator Greg Davis took over UT’s offense in 1998, Texas has produced its only 2,000-yard rusher (2,124, Ricky Williams, 1998), 1,000-yard receiv-ers (1,292, Jordan Shipley, 2009/1,188, Kwame Cavil, 1999/1,142, Roy Williams, 2002/1,123, Quan Cosby, 2008/1,087, Wane McGarity, 1998/1,079, Roy Williams, 2003/1,060, Jordan Shipley, 2008), 3,000-yard passers (3,859, Colt McCoy, 2008/3,357, Major Applewhite, 1999/3,328, Colt McCoy, 2009/3,303 Colt McCoy, 2007/3,207, Chris Simms,

2002/3,036 Vince Young, 2005) and 1,000 yard rusher/passer (Vince Young, 2004 and ‘05) in a season in school histo-ry. UT has seen players record school sin-gle-season bests for rushing touchdowns (28, Ricky Williams, 1998), TD passes (32, Colt McCoy, 2008), TD receptions (12, Roy Williams, 2002/Limas Sweed, 2006), total TDs (45, Colt McCoy, 2008), passing yards (3,859, Colt McCoy, 2008), receptions (100, Kwame Cavil, 1999), receiving yards (1,292, Jordan Shipley, 2009), scoring (168, Ricky Williams, 1998) and total offense (4,420, Colt McCoy, 2008). In addition, Colt McCoy set the NCAA single-season completion percentage record at 76.7% (332-of-433) in 2008 and is one of just five QBs in NCAA history to post four seasons with at least 2,500 yards passing. Cedric Benson became the fifth player in NCAA history to rush for over 1,000 yards in four straight seasons and finished his career ranked sixth on the NCAA all-time rushing list (5,540 yards). Vince Young became the first player in UT history to rush (1,079 yards) and pass (1,849 yards) for more than 1,000 yards in the same season in 2004 and then repeated the feat in 2005 with 1,050 yards rushing and 3,036 yards passing. He became the first player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards or more and pass for at least 3,000 yards in the same season. He came within two rushing yards of becoming just the third freshman QB in NCAA history to post 1,000 yards rushing and passing in

a season in 2003. The Longhorns’ fresh-man records for rushing yards (1,053, Cedric Benson, 2001), rushing TDs (12, Cedric Benson, 2001/12, Cody Johnson, 2008), total TDs (13, Cedric Benson, 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, Roy Williams, 2000) and TD passes (29, Colt McCoy, 2006) have also been set in the Brown era. In addition, McCoy’s 29 TD passes in 2006 tied the NCAA record for freshmen.

MUSCHAMP’S STINGY SCORING D: During his time at Texas, defensive coordi-nator Will Muschamp has led a Longhorn defense that has held 28-of-31 opponents under their season scoring averages and 18 teams to 14 points or less, including two of the first four games in 2010. In 2009, the Horns held 12-of-14 opponents under their scoring averages and didn’t allow an offen-sive TD in four of 14 games. Overall, Texas gave up just 234 total points for a 16.7 points-per-game average (12th NCAA).

In 2008, UT’s defense allowed just 18.8 points per game (18th NCAA/first Big 12). That’s a trend that goes back a few years for one of the nation’s premier defensive coordinators. Over the last four seasons at Auburn and Texas, Muschamp has led defenses that have allowed 21 points or less in 44 of the last 56 games (78.6%), including 14 or less 32 times. On average, his units are giving up just 16.5 points per game during that stretch. Previously, while at Auburn, Muschamp led a group that finished sixth nationally after allowing just 16.9 points per game in 2007. The Tigers held opponents to 20 points or less in 10 of their 13 games, including six with 13 points or less. In 2006, Muschamp’s D ranked seventh nationally after allowing just 13.9 points per game, including seven games with 14 points or less and two shutouts.

PRESSURE AT A PREMIUM: Since 1999, Texas is second nationally in sacks at 433 trailing only USC (434). Since Will Muschamp took over the defense in 2008, the pressure statistics have continued to go up. During that span, Texas’ 107 sacks rank first nationally and are 16 more than any other team in the country and its 272 TFL also rank first nationally. Texas has already amassed 14 sacks and 37 TFL in four games this season. Last season, the Horns registered 46 sacks, 136 TFL, 143 pressures and 186 hits on opponents’ quarterbacks. The 46 sacks were the second-most national-ly and the 136 TFL led the country. In 2008, Texas led the nation in sacks with 47, which was also the most in the Mack Brown era, bettering the 43-sack total in 2000. It marked the first time in school history that Texas led the country in sacks. In addition, the 2008 defense produced 99 TFL, 170 pressures and 129 hits on opponents’ quarterbacks.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE: After inheriting a program that ranked among the NCAA’s bottom half in total defense for the five seasons prior to his arrival, Mack Brown and his staff have reversed that trend. Texas has ranked among the nation’s top 25 in total defense in nine of the last 12 seasons and ranks second in 2010.

2010: After four games, Texas ranks sec-ond in the nation in total defense (227.8 ypg), sixth in passing defense (128.8 ypg), 20th in rushing defense (99.0 ypg) and is tied for 33rd in scoring defense (18.0 ppg). The Longhorns allowed 291 total yards to UCLA, including just 27 passing yards, and two of the Bruins scoring drives were under four yards following turnovers. At Texas Tech, the Horns limited the Red Raiders to just 144 total yards, including minus-14 rushing yards. The 144 total yards were the fewest Texas Tech has gained against Texas since 1982 (134) and the fewest overall since gaining 127 against Nebraska in 1997. Meanwhile the 158 passing yards were the fewest since 1999 (137) and the minus-14 rushing yards marked the fourth time the Longhorns have not allowed the Red Raiders to reach positive rushing yards since 2004. The 14 points were the fewest Texas Tech has scored in Lubbock in the series since 1984 (10) and the fewest overall in the series since 2001 (7). Texas also held Texas Tech to minus-four yards overall in the first quar-ter. The Longhorns held Wyoming to just seven points and 257 total yards, including 58 rushing yards (1.9 ypc). Texas allowed Rice just 17 points to open the 2010 season with seven coming on a tipped pass at the end of the first half and seven more with 24 seconds remaining with the game already decided. The Longhorns held the Owls to just 219 total yards, including zero yards in the third quarter.

2009: The Texas defense allowed 16.7 points (12th NCAA), 251.9 total yards (third NCAA), a 100.5 pass efficiency rating (10th NCAA) and 72.4 rushing yards per game (first NCAA). On 185 total drives, the Horns gave up 23 TDs and 15 FGs. Four of the field goals came after possession changes when the Horns gave up just 32 yards on 20

plays. The Horns held 9-of-14 opponents to 14 points or less, including eight of the last 11. On 185 drives, the Horns’ D forced 77 three-and-outs or better (41.6%) and gave up two first downs or less on 133 of the 185 drives (71.9%). Overall, the Texas defense allowed just 3,527 total yards on 918 plays for a 3.8 yards-per-play average. The unit ranked first nationally in third-down defense, allowing only 53 conversions on 200 attempts (26.5%). In addition, the Horns forced 37 turnovers (25 INTs/12 fumbles), which tied for first nationally.

2008: The Texas defense led the Big 12 in scoring defense (18.8 ppg/18th NCAA), total defense (342.9 ypg/51st NCAA) and rushing defense (83.5 ypg/third NCAA) and was second in the conference in pass efficiency defense (124.2 rating). In addition, the Horns led the nation in sacks with 3.62 per game (47 total sacks) and posted at least four sacks in five of UT’s 13 games. The unit gave up just 29 TDs, which tied for the 18th fewest nationally and were 12 fewer than any other Big 12 team. UT’s opponents converted on only 64 of their 183 third-down attempts (35.0%) and the Horns allowed only 31 scores on 42 red-zone possessions (74.0%), which tied for 11th nationally, and gave up just 20 TDs (47.6%).

2007: Texas allowed 25.3 points, 371.2 total yards and 93.4 rushing yards per game (sixth NCAA) in 2007, while hold-ing opponents to a 127.5 passer rating. UT held seven teams under 100 yards rush-ing, including three games of 10 yards or less. Texas held Rice to -11 yards rushing, which marked the fourth-best performance by the Longhorn D since 1990. The Horns also held five opponents to 14 points or fewer.

2006: Texas finished 2006 ranked third nationally against the run (61.2 ypg), 22nd in total defense (297.4 ypg) and 26th in scoring defense (18.3 ppg). The Horns only allowed two teams to rush for 100 yards and held seven opponents to 14 points or fewer. The 2006 UT defense produced the school’s sec-ond-best effort since 1990 by holding North Texas to just 95 total yards. UT also held

Rice to -12 yards rushing, which marked the fourth time since 1990 that UT held a team to negative yards rushing. In fact, seven of UT’s top 22 performances against the rush since 1990 came during the 2006 campaign.

2005: The Longhorns ranked 10th nation-ally in total defense (302.9 ypg), eighth in scoring defense (16.4 ppg), eighth in passing defense (172.0 ypg) and 33rd in rushing defense (130.9 ypg). Texas only allowed opponents to reach 300 yards of total offense five times and held the remain-ing eight opponents to 267 yards or fewer. Statistically, UT’s best defensive perfor-mance came against Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. The Sooners only managed 171 total yards and one TD. The Longhorns weren’t far off that pace by allowing only 191 yards and one field goal to Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game.

Prior to 2005: Texas held its opponents to 320.1 yards (23rd NCAA), 17.9 points (18th NCAA) and 107.4 yards per game (16th NCAA). Texas ranked 25th national-ly in total defense (329.8 ypg) and allowed just 21.1 points per game in 2003, while holding its opponents to 307.7 yards (16th NCAA) and 16.3 points per game (eighth NCAA) in 2002. UT was one of only two teams to post three shutouts against NCAA Division I-A opponents in 2002. The Longhorns defense went from ranking 85th nationally in total defense in 1997, the year prior to Brown’s arrival, to back-to-back top 10 finishes in total defense in 1999-2000 and captured an NCAA statis-tical title in total defense in 2001. UT’s 236.2 yards per game allowed that season were the fewest it had allowed since 1983 (212.0 ypg). It marked the first time since ’83 and only the third time in school his-tory that UT led the nation in total defense. Texas also led the Big 12 in rushing (89.5 ypg/sixth NCAA), passing (146.7 ypg/third NCAA) and scoring defense (13.7 ppg/third NCAA) while establishing itself as one of only two defenses ranked among the nation’s top 10 in every major defen-sive category in 2001.

SHUTDOWN QUARTERS: In the first quarters of Texas’ last two games, the Longhorns held UCLA (minus-six) and Texas Tech (minus-four) to a combined minus-10 yards. That marks the fifth and sixth time the defense has held an oppo-nent to zero or fewer yards in a quarter since Will Muschamp arrived. There have

been three times this season, including the third quarter of Texas’ 34-17 win over Rice when the defense held the Owls to zero total yards. Last season, it held UTEP to minus-seven yards in the first quarter and minus-one yard in the third. It then held Baylor to minus-20 yards in the sec-ond quarter.

AIR DEFENSE: Texas’ pass defense has been ranked in the Top 10 in five of the last 10 seasons and is ranked sixth in 2010. It has allowed opponents to complete 53.4 percent (2,295-of-4,294) of their passes for only 194.9 yards per game (25,925 in 133 games), while intercepting 157 passes (1.2 pg).

2010: Texas ranks sixth in the nation in pass defense (128.8 ypg) through four games. Against UCLA, the Longhorns allowed just 27 passing yards, which is the third time in the Mack Brown era the defense has allowed only 27 yards, which is tied for 13th in UT history. At Texas Tech, the Horns limited the Red Raiders to just 158 passing yards, which is the fewest the defense has allowed them since 1999 (137). Texas posted two INT and four sacks in Lubbock, while holding Tech to just 4.4 yards per attempt and 7.5 yards per comple-tion. The Longhorns allowed Wyoming just 199 passing yards and no TDs on 20-of-31 attempts with three sacks. Texas lim-ited Rice to 131 passing yards on 12-of-18 attempts with one TD and one INT. Forty-seven of those yards and the TD came on a tipped pass at the end of the first half. Over the last 15 games, plus the fourth quarter against Texas Tech in 2009, UT’s oppo-nents have thrown 426 passes and Texas intercepted 27 of them or one in every 15 pass attempts.

2009: Texas allowed just 179.6 passing yards per game (19th NCAA), a 55.4 completion rate and a 100.5 pass effi-ciency rating (10th NCAA). UT held 9-of-14 opponents to less than 200 yards passing, including six opponents to under 100 yards. The Longhorns intercepted 25 passes, which led the nation, and posted an INT in 12-of-14 games. They had at least two INTs in seven games, including two games with four INTs.

2008: The Texas secondary had to replace three of its four starters from 2007 and it did so with a senior, a junior and four underclassmen, including two true fresh-

men. Overall, the Horns had eight mem-bers of its secondary see significant action. UT gave up 259.4 yards per game, but held opponents to a 124.2 passer rating, which ranked second in the Big 12. The Horns held five teams to 220 yards pass-ing or less. In addition, on 69 attempts, the Horns’ defense only allowed 13 con-versions of third down and 10 or more (18.8%).

2007: UT allowed 277.8 yards passing per game, held opponents to a 127.5 passer rating and intercepted 17 passes on the sea-son. Marcus Griffin led the team in tackles (99) and INTs (five), while Ryan Palmer (80 tackles, 14 PBU) and Brandon Foster (71 tackles, four INTs, 12 PBU) finished second and third on the team in tackles.

2006: The 2006 campaign saw Aaron Ross win the Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. It marked the second con-secutive season a Longhorn won the award after Michael Huff did so in 2005. Ross’ six INTs helped UT total 13 for the season, and he also finished second nationally with 25 passes defended. Michael Griffin led the team in tackles for the second consecu-tive year and, along with Ross, earned All-America and first-team All-Big 12 honors.

2005: UT finished eighth nationally in pass defense (172.0 ypg). The Horns also fin-ished fourth nationally in pass efficiency defense (96.7 rating) that year. Opponents averaged only 5.13 yards per pass attempt, which led the nation, and threw for only 10 TDs compared to UT’s 11 INTs. In 13 games, Texas allowed only two teams, Texas Tech and USC, to throw for over 200 yards. Both of those teams finished in the top five nationally in passing offense.

Prior to 2005: The Horns intercepted 13 passes and ranked 31st nationally in pass efficiency defense (114.3 rating) in 2004. Texas allowed opponents to complete just 167-of-354 passes (47.2%/third NCAA) for 2,305 yards (177.3 ypg/ninth NCAA) and ranked 18th nationally in pass effi-ciency defense (106.5 rating) in 2003. UT’s recent pass defense efforts continue a turnaround that started when Mack Brown took over the Longhorns’ program in 1998. That year, UT was coming off a season that saw it rank 75th nationally in pass efficiency defense (132.7 rating). In just their third season (2000), UT led the nation in pass efficiency defense (88.3 rating). The Horns limited opponents to the sec-ond-lowest completion percentage in the nation (45.2%/171-of-378), 184.3 yards per game, 5.36 yards per pass attempt (second NCAA), while allowing just eight TD passes that season. The Horns put up comparable numbers in 2001, holding a schedule with several high-powered pass-ing attacks to a Big 12-low 146.7 pass-ing yards per game (third NCAA) and ranked fourth nationally in pas s efficiency defense (88.0). Texas held opponents to a NCAA-low 4.77 ypa and just six TDs (t-2nd NCAA) in 2001. In 2002, opponents completed just 192-of-400 passes (48.0%) for 2,147 yards (165.2 ypg/eighth NCAA). UT also ranked seventh nationally in pass efficiency defense (96.1 rating). Texas’ 22 interceptions were tied for the fourth-most nationally and second-most in UT history. The Horns ranked 92nd nationally in pass efficiency defense (138.7 rating) in ‘98 and improved to 12th in ‘99 (101.6 rating) before leading the nation in 2000.

GROUND PATROL: Mack Brown and his staff inherited a ground defense that had ranked no better than 64th nationally in the five seasons prior to their arrival.

In 13 seasons at Texas, they have turned that around dramatically. The Horns have limited 65 of their last 118 opponents (55.1%) to fewer than 100 yards rushing and allowed just twenty-nine 100-yard rushers in the last 145 games (20.0%). The Horns have been ranked in the top

six in rush defense in each of the last four seasons, including a No. 1 national rank-ing in 2009 (72.4 ypg). During that span (57 games), UT has held opponents to just 79.0 yards per game (4,504 yards on 1,730 carries) and just 2.6 yards per carry. In addition, at home over the last four sea-sons (28 games), Texas has only allowed seven teams to break the 100-yard plateau and has only allowed four individual 100-yard rushers. In true road games over the last five seasons (18 games), Texas has allowed only seven teams to reach 100 yards rushing and just two individual 100-yard rushers. Texas has held its opponent under 50 yards rushing 42 times during the Mack Brown era.

2010: Texas ranks 20th in nation in rush-ing defense (99.0 ypg). The Longhorns held Texas Tech to minus-14 yards (-0.8 ypc), which was the fourth time since 2004 Texas has not allowed Texas Tech to reach positive rushing yards. Against Wyoming, the Horns surrendered only 58 rushing yards, including minus-12 in the third quarter, with no Cowboy rushing for more than 30. The Longhorns opened the season allowing Rice to rush for just 88 yards on 42 attempts (2.1 ypc), including minus-six yards in the third quarter, with no player rushing for more than 47 yards in the game.

2009: Texas allowed just 72.4 rushing yards per game to claim the No. 1 national ranking in rush defense. In total, the Horns allowed just 1,013 yards rushing, while tallying 579 yards in losses via tackles for loss and sacks, and just 2.2 yards per carry. The Horns only allowed four opponents to eclipse the 100-yard mark and forced two into negative rushing totals. The Horns held Texas Tech to minus-six yards rush-

ing on 18 attempts. Tech gained just 51 yards and lost 57 on nine TFL. Then, the Texas defense held Oklahoma, which came into the game averaging 187.8 ypg, to minus-16 rushing yards, the lowest total by either team in the 104-game series.

2008: Texas gave up just 83.5 yards rush-ing per game (third NCAA/first Big 12) and allowed just eight rushing TDs, which tied for eighth nationally and was 11 fewer than the next best Big 12 team. Overall, Texas gave up just 1,086 rushing yards on 356 carries (3.1 ypc) and forced its opponents into 522 lost yards on sacks and TFL. The Horns allowed only five teams to rush for over 100 yards and just three individual 100-yard rushers, while holding the other eight opponents to less than 50 yards rushing.

2007: Texas allowed just 93.4 yards per game to rank sixth nationally. The Horns held seven of their 13 opponents under 100 yards rushing and gave up just 2.9 yards per carry. Highlighting the season were games against No. 19 TCU (43 yards), Rice (-11 yards), Baylor (eight yards), Texas Tech (10 yards) and Arizona State (22 yards). All five games rank in UT’s top 35 performances since 1990. In fact, the minus-11 yards by Rice were the fourth-fewest since 1990 and the fifth time UT has held an opponent to negative rushing yards in that span. All five occasions have come during the Mack Brown era.

2006: The Horns rush defense gave up just 61.2 yards per game in 2006 (third NCAA), turning in the best performance on school record since 1942 (57.5 ypg). They gave up only 795 yards rushing on 345 carries (2.3 ypc). UT allowed just two teams to rush for 100 yards and held six teams to 27 yards or less, including two games in which the opponent rushed for negative yards (Texas Tech, -13; Rice, -12). In addition, seven of UT’s top 22 performances against the rush since 1990 came during the 2006 campaign.

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

Prior to 2005: The Horns ranked 16th nationally in rushing defense (107.4 ypg) in 2004, allowing just 60.0 yards per game over the final six contests. UT held six

foes to 70 (or fewer) yards rushing that season. After inheriting a unit that ranked 104th nationally and allowed 241.5 yards per game in 1997, Brown and company guided the Horns to the nation’s 17th-best run defense (105.7 ypg) in 1999 and the 12th-best ground defense (94.0 ypg) in 2000. UT’s 94.0 yards allowed rushing per game in 2000 was, at the time, the fewest allowed by a Longhorns’ squad since 1977 (91.1 ypg). UT followed that effort up in 2001 by allowing a Big 12-low 89.5 rush-ing ypg (sixth NCAA) and just 2.8 yards per carry.

UNEXPECTED OFFENSE: Even though Texas’ offense is one of the most potent in the country, it has received help from the rest of the team when it comes to scoring TDs. Since 1999, UT has scored 75 TDs via returns, turnovers and blocked kicks. The 75 scores during that stretch rank second nationally behind Virginia Tech (77). The Longhorns wasted no time adding to their total in 2010 with a fumble recovery TD at Rice. UT scored 11 non-offensive TDs in 2009, which led the nation and is the most in UT history. Prior to 2009, the most non-offensive TDs came in 2003, when the Horns posted nine. The 11 TDs came on 89 (ULM) and 91-yard (UTEP) kickoff returns by D.J. Monroe, a 95-yard kickoff return by Marquise Goodwin (Texas A&M), 46 (Texas Tech) and 74-yard (Colorado) punt returns by Jordan Shipley, 92 (Colorado) and 31-yard (Oklahoma State) INT returns by Earl Thomas, a 77-yard INT return by Curtis Brown (Oklahoma State), a 60-yard INT return by Eddie Jones (Baylor), a three-yard blocked punt return by Ben Wells (Colorado) and a blocked punt recovery in the end zone by Malcolm Williams (Missouri). Texas posted five non-offen-sive TDs in 2008 behind two INT returns, a fumble return, a kickoff return and a punt return. In 2007, UT posted five non-offen-sive TDs on three INT returns, a fumble return and a kickoff return, which was UT’s first since 2003. The Horns scored eight non-offensive TDs in 2006 with four coming off fumble recoveries, two from punt returns, one on an INT return and one on a blocked punt recovery in the end zone.

GUARDING THE END ZONE: Texas’ defense has made it difficult for opponents to reach the end zone over the last 11 sea-sons. Since 2000, the Horns have allowed only 271 TDs in 133 games (2.0 TDs

per game), which ranks fourth nationally. Miami has allowed the fewest TDs, giv-ing up only 236. The Longhorns allowed two TDs to Rice to open the 2010 season, however one came on a long tipped pass at the end of the first half and the other came with 24 seconds left in the game with the outcome decided. They then surrendered just one TD against Wyoming and one at Texas Tech. The 14 points were the fewest Texas Tech has scored in Lubbock in the series since 1984 (10) and the fewest overall in the series since 2001 (7). UCLA reached the end zone four times, however three of the drives were 50 yards or fewer with one drive of only four yards and two drives com-ing off turnovers in Texas territory. In 2009, the Horns’ defense allowed just 23 TDs on 185 possessions (12.4%). UT’s best season came in 2001, when the Horns’ top-ranked unit gave up only 19 TDs. Texas has allowed 29 TDs or fewer in seven of the last 10 seasons. Conversely, Texas has scored at least 45 TDs in each of the last 10 seasons, with a high of 81 scores in 2005. The Horns scored 68 TDs in 2009 and 597 TDs over the 10-year span, averaging 4.6 TDs per game.

SCORING DEFENSE: Texas’ defense has been a scoring machine since 1999. During that time, the defense has account-ed for 279 points and scored in 40 of the 147 games (27.2%). It opened the 2010 season with a fumble recovery TD after posting four TDs and a safety in 2009 for 30 points. The Horns’ defense has scored at least three TDs in 10 of the last 11 sea-sons, not including 2010, led by the seven TDs scored in 2000. That defense tallied 46 points, which is the most over the nine-year stretch. The 2003 unit scored six TDs, while the 2006 unit scored five TDs.

FORCING TURNOVERS: Texas’ defense has forced 348 turnovers during the Mack Brown era (159 games/2.2 per game), while only giving up 272 turnovers for a plus-76 turnover margin. Overall,

UT RECORD BOOK

the Horns have averaged a plus-six turn-over margin per season during Brown’s tenure. The Horns were plus-nine in the turnover margin in 2009, which ranked 15th nationally, having forced 37 turn-overs (12 fumbles/25 INTs), while giving up 28 (12 fumbles/16 INTs). UT’s 37 forced turnovers tied for first nationally. In 2008, Texas forced 16 turnovers (10 fumbles/six INTs), while giving up 14 (six fumbles/eight INTs). In 2007, Texas forced 27 turnovers (10 fumbles/17 INTs), while giving up 26 (seven fumbles/19 INTs). In 2006, UT forced 32 turnovers (19 fumbles/13 INTs), while only giving up 23 (14 fumbles/nine INTs), for a plus-nine margin (T-No. 13 NCAA). The 32 takeaways were tied for the sixth-most in the nation and the 19 fumble recoveries tied for the most nationally. In 2005, UT forced 27 turnovers (16 fumbles/11 INTs). Three of those 27 turnovers were returned or recovered for scores, and the 16 fumble recoveries ranked fourth nationally. The Horns finished the season with a plus-nine turnover margin. Texas had a plus-five turnover margin, forcing 23 turnovers (10 fumbles/13 INTs) and losing 18, in 2004. UT forced 29 turnovers (14 fumbles/15 INTs) in 2003. UT’s attacking unit provid-ed several big plays in forcing 35 turnovers (T-No. 12 NCAA) in ’02. The Longhorns combined for 22 INTs (T-No. 4 NCAA) by eight different players and recovered 13 fumbles.

SHORT DRIVES: The Texas defense has prevented its opponents from moving the chains on 37.0 percent of their drives over the last eight seasons (121 games). During that time, UT forced 575 three-and-outs or better in 1,552 possessions. In 2010, that number is even better at 44.0 percent (22-of-50), including 9-of-13 at Texas Tech, 5-of-11 against Wyoming and 7-of-13 at Rice. In 2009, the Horns forced 77 three-and-outs or better on 185 possessions (41.6%) and averaged 5.5 three-and-outs or better per game.

STEPPING UP WIDE: Last season WR Jordan Shipley produced one of the best seasons for a wide receiver in UT his-tory. A consensus first-team All-America honoree and Texas’ first-ever Biletnikoff Award finalist, Shipley set UT single-season records for receptions (116) and receiving yards (1,485) and tied for first with 13 TDs. With the departure of Shipley to the NFL, four receivers return who had significant playing time in 2009 – seniors James Kirkendoll and John Chiles, junior Malcolm Williams and sophomore Marquise Goodwin. Kirkendoll and Williams combined for 87 receptions, 1,011 yards and eight TDs, while rookie receivers Chiles and Goodwin combined for 64 catches, 598 yards and four TDs. This season, they have amassed 48 catches for 607 yards.

James Kirkendoll: Kirkendoll has record-ed 15 catches for a team-leading 201 yards and a TD so far in 2010. He made six recep-tions for 42 yards and a TD against UCLA. At Texas Tech, he also had six receptions for a career high 122 yards, including a 45-yarder and a 33-yarder that helped set up Texas’ first TD. Of his 122 yards, 52 came after the catch. He also had two receptions for 32 yards against Wyoming with a key 21-yard third-down catch dur-ing a third-quarter TD drive that pushed the lead to 27-7. 2009: Kirkendoll posted 48 catches for 461 yards and six TDs in

RECENT O-LINE SUCCESS: The Texas offensive line has been one of the nation’s steadiest units over the past five seasons, and despite five linemen mov-ing on to the NFL over the previous three seasons, the Horns ranked third in scoring

offense (39.3 ppg) and 29th in total offense (421.2 ypg) in 2009. The pipeline to the NFL over the last five years began with OT Jonathan Scott, who was taken in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions and is now playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then, in the 2007 draft, the Horns had two players, OL Justin Blalock and OG Kasey Studdard, picked. Blalock was selected in the second round by the Atlanta Falcons and has started all 31 games of his professional career, while Studdard was taken in the sixth round by the Houston Texans. In addition, C Lyle Sendlein

signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent and has become the starter, including all 20 games of the Cardinals’ 2008 run to the Super Bowl. Then, in 2008, the Horns dealt with the departure of two seniors from 2007 in OT Tony Hills, a first-team All-America selection who was drafted in the fourth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and C Dallas Griffin, who won the Draddy Trophy and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection.

VETERAN FRONT: Despite losing three starters from last year’s offensive line, the 2010 line features four seniors and a junior at the core. Gone from 2009 are LT Adam Ulatoski (44 starts), C Chris Hall (37 starts) and LG Charlie Tanner (33 starts). Last season’s right side has moved over to the left with senior OT Kyle Hix (32 starts) and senior OG Michael Huey, who started three games in 2008, earned the start against ULM to open 2009, but missed the Wyoming game that year with an ankle injury. He returned for the Texas Tech game and started the last eight games before starting the first four of 2010. In addition to Hix and Huey, Texas has a group of returnees that have combined to play in 105 games. Seniors OT Tray Allen (31 games) and OT Britt Mitchell (43 games) helped to solidfy the offensive line in 2009, while junior David Snow has taken over for Chris Hall as the starting center after playing in all 31 games over the last three seasons with 11 starts. Snow started the last two games of the 2008 regular season at center against Kansas and Texas A&M, replacing an injured Hall, and earned starts in five games in 2009, along with the first four games of 2010. Allen is currently recovering from a foot injury, and in his absence redshirt fresh-

man OG Mason Walters has seen most of the snaps. This season, the group has paved the way for 349 total yards against UCLA, 320 yards at Texas Tech, 389 yards against Wyoming, including 222 yards passing and 167 yards rushing (5.8 yards per carry), and 369 yards, including 197 rushing yards, in the season opener against Rice.

RETURNING DEFENSIVE ENDS: Texas has two veterans at defensive end who have made an impact in seniors Sam Acho and Eddie Jones. The duo has com-bined to notch 189 tackles, 29 sacks, 47 TFL, 61 pressures, an INT, 10 PBD, six forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries during their careers. Sam Acho: Acho, a Lott Trophy semifinalist, honorable mention All-Big 12 performer and Academic All-American in 2009, has been named to the Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy, Nagurski Trophy, Outland Trophy and Hendricks Award watch lists. He has seen action in 42 career games (18 starts) and tallied 105 tackles, 17.5 sacks, 26 TFL, 30 pressures, seven PBD, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. Through three games in 2010, Acho has recorded 16 tackles, six TFL, three sacks, four pressures and two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Against UCLA, he tallied five tackles, one sack, one TFL, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He registered two tackles and a TFL at Texas Tech. Against Wyoming, he notched five tack-les, including three TFL and one sack, and three pressures. He opened 2010 with four tackles, one sack, a forced fumble that was returned for a TD and a pressure at Rice. In 2009, Acho notched 63 tack-les, 10 sacks, 14 TFL, 15 pressures, three PBD, two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. The four fumble recoveries were tied for the most nationally and tied for third on UT’s single-season list. In his first career start against ULM, Acho

MANNING THE MIDDLE: The defen-sive tackles unit has been a major reason why Texas’ rush defense has ranked in the Top Six nationally in each of the last four seasons. The Horns are currently 20th in the nation (99.0 ypg) in rush defense, led the nation in 2009 allowing just 72.4 ypg, and have finished third in 2008 (83.5 ypg), sixth in ’07 (93.4 ypg) and third in ’06 (61.2 ypg). Of the group manning the middle over the last four seasons, four have gone on to the NFL. DTs Frank Okam and Derek Lokey combined to play in 83 games, while making 60 starts during their four-year careers that included ’06 and ’07. Okam, who was a third-team All-American in ’07 before being drafted in the fifth round by the Houston Texans, finished his career with 160 tackles, 10 sacks, 28 TFL, 12 PBD, one forced fumble and five fumble recoveries. Lokey garnered first-team All-Big 12 honors in ’07 and earned a spot on the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad during the 2008 season. He finished his career with 101 tackles, three sacks, 18 TFL, three PBD and a fumble recovery. Roy Miller played a major role on all three defenses prior to being drafted in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miller finished his career with 138 tackles, 10 sacks, 25 TFL, 44 pressures, six PBD, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Then last season, Lamarr Houston was a second-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders. Houston played in 50 career games, starting 33, at defensive tackle (21) and defensive end (12) and notched 170 tackles, 15 sacks, 43 TFL, 65 pressures, 13 PBD, two fumble recover-ies and a forced fumble during his career. Junior Kheeston Randall leads the group in 2010. Randall has played in 26 career games and started 10 games in 2009 when he recorded 23 tackles, two sacks, three TFL and nine pressures. He has started all four of the games in 2010 and has 12 tack-

les, including six TFL, one sack and two PBD. Against UCLA, he tallied five tack-les. He registered two tackles, one sack, two TFL and one pressure at Texas Tech. That followed two tackles, two TFL and a PBD against Wyoming after opening with three tackles and two TFL at Rice. Fellow junior Tyrell Higgins (six tackles in 2010) joins Randall, along with sophomore Alex Okafor who has made the switch from end to tackle this fall and redshirt freshman Calvin Howell.

YOUNG BACKERS: With the loss of Roddrick Muckelroy to the NFL, juniors Emmanuel Acho and Keenan Robinson will lead the linebackers. The duo com-bined to post 123 tackles (78 solo), 3.5 sacks, 15 TFL, four pressures, an INT, five PBU, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries last season. Sophomore Dravannti Johnson started the first game of his career at Rice and joins Acho and Robinson. That trio will be supported by seniors Dustin Earnest and Jared Norton. Earnest has played in 42 career games with 52 tackles, three TFL and a fumble recov-ery. Norton has played in 41 career games, including eight starts with 132 tackles, 4.5 sacks, nine TFL, five pressures, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Emmanuel Acho: Acho has registered 23 tackles, one sack, two TFL, four PBU, four pressures, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery this season, including six tackles against Rice and Wyoming. At Texas Tech, he tallied four tackles, two PBU, two pressures and a forced fumble. He matched his career high with seven tackles against UCLA. 2009: Acho posted 49 tackles (36 solo), two sacks, 10 TFL, three pressures, an INT, a PBU, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. His three forced fumbles were tied for the fifth most nationally. He started the sea-son by posting three tackles and a forced fumble against ULM.

Sam’s 14 TFL were third on the team, while Emmanuel’s 10 rank fifth. When the Acho brothers aren’t creating havoc on the field, they are providing medical care and Christian ministry to thousands of people in their family’s native country of Nigeria. As part of Living Hope Ministries, which was founded and is directed by their father and mother, Dr. Sonny and Christie Acho, the duo has made numerous medical mission trips to Nigeria, including the most recent trip in June 2010. Dr. Acho, who is a psy-chologist and Christian minister in Dallas, has arranged annual trips for the last 20 years.

NCAA LEADERS

Alabama. 2008: Williams saw action in all 13 games, starting one, as a true fresh-man in 2008. He posted 16 tackles, a TFL, an INT, three PBU, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Williams returned his interception 81 yards for a TD against Arkansas. The 81-yard return is the sev-enth-longest INT return in UT history. In addition to his play in the secondary, Williams also was a special-teams stand-out. He blocked four punts, which tied for first on UT’s single-season list, and tied for second on the team with nine special-teams tackles. Career: For his career, Williams has tallied 74 tackles (43 solo), three sacks, 11 TFL, three pressures, four INTs, 16 PBU, five forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and four blocked punts in 30 games (18 starts).

BLOCK THAT KICK: The Texas spe-cial teams have been just that since Mack Brown took over the program in 1998. Since then, Texas has blocked 68 kicks (40 punts/16 FGs/12 PATs), an average of 5.6 per season. That is 43 more than the 25 recorded in the 12-year span prior to Brown’s arrival. UT has blocked the sec-ond-most kicks in the nation since 2002 with 46 behind Fresno St. (50). Last year, the Horns blocked five punts with two of them being returned for TDs. Since Brown arrived, the Longhorns have had players set or equal UT records for career blocked kicks, single-season blocked kicks, career blocked punts and single-season blocked punts.

RETURN GAME: Texas has improved its kick returning and defending on kick-offs and punts since Mack Brown arrived. Since 1998, the Horns have produced 11 of UT’s 28 all-time punt returns for TDs and seven of the 14 kickoff returns for TDs. In contrast, UT has only given up three punt return TDs during the Mack Brown era. It had been 101 games (Kansas State, 1999) since Texas had given up a punt return for a TD before Kansas State

returned one in 2007. That is a major dif-ference from the 12 years prior to Brown’s arrival. During that time, Texas scored on four punt returns, while its opponents scored on seven returns. When Brown arrived in 1998, Texas hadn’t returned a kickoff for a score since 1978. Then, in the 2000 Holiday Bowl, Victor Ike returned a kickoff 93 yards for a TD, snap-ping the 265-game streak. Selvin Young added a 97-yard kickoff return TD against New Mexico State in 2003, Quan Cosby posted a 91-yard kickoff return TD at Texas A&M in 2007 and Jordan Shipley notched a 96-yard kickoff return TD versus Oklahoma in 2008. D.J. Monroe returned two kickoffs for TDs in 2009, an 89-yard-er against ULM and a 91-yarder versus UTEP. He is the first player in Texas history to notch two kickoff return TDs in a career. Marquise Goodwin added a 95-yard kickoff return for a TD at Texas A&M. With a punt return for a TD against Colorado, Jordan Shipley tied UT’s all-time mark for career punt returns with three. When you add in his 96-yard kickoff return for a TD against Oklahoma in 2008, Shipley set the UT career record for return TDs with four. Texas’ five return TDs (two punt/three kickoff) in 2009 are a school record. The Longhorns had two apiece in 1973, 2002, ’05, ’06 and ’08.

PLACE-KICKS: Since 1998, four of Texas’ most accurate field goal kickers (Kris Stockton, 1996, ‘98-2000, Dusty Mangum, 2001-04, Ryan Bailey, 2006-09 and Hunter Lawrence 2006-09) have come during Brown’s time at Texas. Lawrence (34-of-39/.872), Bailey (25-of-30/.833) and Stockton (58-of-77/.753) rank first, second and third, respectively, on UT’s field-goal accuracy chart (min. 25 attempts). Mangum (121), Lawrence (76), Bailey (60) and Stockton (57) also are at the top of UT’s consecutive made extra points list.

LONG RANGE: Junior PK Justin Tucker’s 51-yard field goal attempt at the beginning of the second quarter against Rice was the third-longest initial field goal attempt ever by a UT player (Mark Schultis - 55, at Texas Tech (1994); Kris Stockton - 52, vs. New Mexico State (1998)). All three field goal attempts were made. Tucker joined Schultis (55, at Texas Tech - 1994); Stockton (52, vs. New Mexico State - 1998) and Phil Dawson (50, at Pittsburgh - 1994) to become the fourth UT player to make a field goal of 50 or more yards on his first collegiate attempt. Tucker also became the first UT player to start his career with two field goal attempts of 50 or more yards. For the season, Tucker is now 7-of-9 on FG and 11-of-11 on PAT.

IMMEDIATE IMPACT: Twelve true freshmen of a possible 24 played in the season opener against Rice, which is the most in an opener in the Mack Brown era. The 12 freshman participants also is tied for the fourth-most in college football this season. The group includes DB Carrington Byndom, S Demarco Cobbs, WR Mike Davis, DT Ashton Dorsey, LB Jordan Hicks, OG Trey Hopkins, DE Jackson Jeffcoat, QB Case McCoy, DB Adrian Phillips, DB A.J. White, WR Darius White and DE Reggie Wilson. Mack Brown has now played 115 of a possible 300 true freshmen (38.3%) in his 13 seasons at Texas.

GAME 1: #5/4 TEXAS (34) VS. RICE (17)SEPTEMBER 4 • RELIANT STADIUM • HOUSTON, TEXAS

ATTENDANCE: 70,445 (SELLOUT) • ESPNWEATHER CONDITIONS: CLOSED ROOF ARENA

Starting a season on the road for the first time since 1995, No. 5/4 Texas registered a 34-17 win over Rice at Reliant Stadium. With the victory, the Longhorns won their 11th straight season opener and improved to 12-1 in season openers under Mack Brown. After fall-ing behind 3-0, Texas rattled off 24 consecutive points in the second quarter to take a three-TD lead. Rice scored a TD late in the first half when a deflected pass fell into the hands of an Owls’ receiver who scurried into the end zone with 0:04 on the clock. Leading 24-10 at the half, the Longhorns’ defense set the tone, dominating the third quarter. In that quarter, Texas held Rice to zero yards and one first down on 11 plays, and extended its lead to 31-10 heading into the fourth quarter. UT capped a 10-play 72-yard drive with a 26-yard Justin Tucker field goal to extend the lead to 34-10 in the fourth quarter before a muffed punt in the final minute of the game setup a short Owls TD drive. The Longhorns’ offense, which scored on four of its five trips (three TDs) inside the red zone, approached the 200-yard plateau on the ground, rushing for 197 yards and three TDs on 46 carries. It was UT’s most rushing attempts since their 2009 season opener against ULM, when the Horns rushed 49 times. Tre’ Newton led the ground game with 18 rushes for 61 yards and three TDs. It marked Newton’s first game with multiple rush-ing TDs. Cody Johnson added 59 yards on 15 carries while Fozzy Whittaker logged 51 rushing yards on nine carries, marking the first time since 2005 that UT has had three rushers with at least 50 yards in a game. In his first career start, Garrett Gilbert completed 14-of-23 (60.9%) pass attempts for 172 yards. Three of his tosses went for at least 22 yards and although he didn’t throw a TD, he had two pass plays that went to the two-yard-line or closer. Case McCoy made his first career appearance on UT’s final drive of the game. Malcolm Williams was the Horns’ leading receiver with four catches for 77 yards, including a 47-yard catch. John Chiles’ 31-yard catch late in the second quarter put the Horns on the one-yard line and set up the TD that gave Texas a 24-3 lead. Marquise Goodwin grabbed four receptions for 50 yards, including a 16-yard catch and run that took the ball to the two-yard-line and resulted in a short TD drive. That score put the Horns up 31-10 late in the third quarer. The Texas defense held Rice to 219 yards of total offense with 47 yards coming on the aforementioned deflected pass for a TD. Seven of Rice’s 13 drives went for seven yards or less, including four pos-sessions that resulted in negative yardage. The Horns bottled up the Owls’ ground game, holding Rice to 88 yards on 42 carries (2.1 ypc). Keenan Robinson played a part in both of Rice’s turnovers. He reg-istered his first career INT on the Owls’ second drive to set up a field goal and scored a TD when he scooped up a fumble caused by Sam Acho and ran 10 yards to the end zone. Robinson added six tackles, including one TFL. Texas recorded three sacks - Acho and Eddie Jones each had one; Emmanuel Acho and Jackson Jeffcoat shared another. Jones logged a team-high three TFL and Kheeston Randall added two TFL. Kenny Vaccaro led the squad with eight tackles (seven solo), including one TFL. Blake Gideon and Emmanuel Acho tallied six tackles each. Tucker started his career as a placekicker by making a 51-yard field goal in the second quarter, the third-longest kick by a UT player to start a career. The Longhorns’ kickoff return unit gave the offense strong starting position throughout the game with an average return out to the Texas 42-yard line, compared to the 25-yard line on kickoff returns for Rice.

No. 5/4 Texas logged a 34-7 win over Wyoming in their home opener at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to start the season 2-0 for the fourth consecutive year. It was UT’s 10th straight victory in a home opener. The Longhorns scored the final 28 points of the game to erase a 7-6 second-quarter deficit and coast to the win. Texas fea-tured a balanced offense with 29 rushes and 35 passes for the game, amassing 389 yards of total offense. For the second consecutive game, the Longhorns’ offense did not commit a turnover and did not yield a sack. In just his second college game, Mike Davis hauled in seven receptions for 104 yards and one TD that equaled the second-fastest a Texas receiver had ever posted a 100-yard receiv-ing game in their career. The seven catches is tied for second on UT’s freshman single-game list. It was the 12th 100-yard receiving game by a UT freshman, and he became the ninth UT freshman to reach the plateau. He caught four passes for 90 yards in the first half, including a 45-yard TD reception that gave the Horns a 20-7 lead heading into the intermission. John Chiles added four catches for 37 yards. Garrett Gilbert recorded his first career 200-yard passing game, connecting on 22-of-35 (62.9%) attempts for 222 yards and one TD. He added 15 rushing yards on three carries to end the game with a career-high 237 yards of total offense. In the first half he com-pleted 15-of-22 (68.2%) for 167 yards and one TD. The Longhorns averaged 5.8 yards per rush to total 167 yards and three TDs on the ground. Fozzy Whittaker led the ground game with seven carries for 62 yards (8.9 ypc) and one TD. Trailing 7-6 with 3:24 remaining in the first half, Whittaker steamrollered through four tackles en route to a 39-yard TD run, the longest rush of his career. Cody Johnson pounded out 46 yards on nine carries and two TDs, all in the second half. His first TD run, a 2-yard dive, capped a 10-play, 61-yard drive to give Texas a 27-7 lead with 8:04 remaining in the third quarter. A one-yard TD run in the fourth quarter finished off a 10-play, 64 yard drive. Texas’ defense held the Cowboys to 58 rushing yards on 30 attempts (1.9 ypc), including -2 yards on 15 attempts in the second half. The defense held Wyoming to 3-of-12 on third-down conver-sions for the game, including 0-for-4 in the second half, and 0-for-3 on fourth-down conversions, all in the second half. Wyoming entered Texas territory just once on its first eight drives and were forced to punt after three plays on five of those eight drives. Texas recorded three sacks on the day with one apiece by Sam Acho, Eddie Jones and Keenan Robinson. Acho paced the Horns with three TFL and three pressures. Jones and Jackson Jeffcoat had four pressures apiece. Jones, Robinson and Blake Gideon led Texas with eight tackles each. Emmanuel Acho added six tackles. Justin Tucker was 2-of-2 on field goal attempts, making a 45-yarder to finish UT’s first drive of the game and a 36-yarder at the 8:08 mark of the second quarter to give the Horns a 6-0 advantage. Texas’ return units put in a solid effort, returning two kickoffs for a 26.5 yard average and four punts for a 16.5 yard average. Texas’ average starting position was the 33, inclduing an average of the 39-yard line on six punts. The Longhorns kicked off seven times, registering touchbacks three times and pinning the Cowboys inside the 20 on two occasions for an average starting position at the 22-yard line.

Texas’ defense stymied Texas Tech’s offense as the No. 6/4 Longhorns posted a 24-14 win over the Red Raiders in front of a fiery sellout crowd at Jones AT&T Stadium. The 14 points were the fewest Texas Tech has scored in Lubbock in the series since 1984 (10) and the fewest overall in the series since 2001 (7). Texas held Tech to 144 yards of total offense, the lowest output for the Red Raiders in the series since 1982 (134 yards). The Longhorns lim-ited Tech’s aerial assault to 158 yards, the fewest in the series since 1999 (137). Texas held the Red Raiders to -14 rushing yards for the game, the fourth time the Longhorns have pushed Tech back for negative yards on the ground since 2004. Tech’s offense punted or turned the ball over in three plays or less on nine of their 13 drives, including seven three-and-outs, one fumble and one interception. Six of Tech’s drives ended with negative yardage. The Red Raiders were only able to convert on 3-of-13 third down attempts and went 0-for-1 on fourth down conversions. Texas caused three turnovers. In the first quarter, Jackson Jeffcoat recovered a fumble at the Tech 7-yard line to set up UT’s first TD, a 7-yard run by Fozzy Whittaker. Blake Gideon registered an INT late in the first quarter and Curtis Brown intercepted a pass and returned it 74 yards to set up Justin Tucker’s go-ahead field goal at the midway point of the third quar-ter to give Texas a 17-14 advantage. The Longhorns menaced QBs Taylor Potts and Steven Sheffield all night, registering four sacks, 13 pressures and 10 pass breakups. Eddie Jones led the pass rush with two sacks and two pressures. Kheeston Randall recorded one sack and one pressure. Alex Okafor logged a half sack and three pressures. Jeffcoat added a half sack and two pressures. Emmanuel Acho notched two pressures and batted down two passes. Jones and Randall both logged a pair of TFL. Keenan Robinson notched a game-high eight tackles. Gideon chipped in with seven tackles and Jones added six. Texas owned a time of possession edge of more than 15 minutes (37:44-22:16) for the game. The Horns held the ball for 12 of the 15 minutes of the first quarter. They put the game away with 22-play, 80-yard drive which shaved 9:25 off the clock, culminating in a 1-yard TD pass from Garrett Gilbert to tight end Barrett Matthews. It was Matthews’ first career TD reception. Texas escaped multiple dilemmas on the drive, including 1st-and-20 from their own 10, 2nd-and-18 from their own 23 and 3rd-and-13 from the Tech 27. The Horns converted on two fourth-down attempts on the drive. After starting the drive with a penalty, pushing them back to their own 10, the Longhorns got the ball to their own 29-yard line for 4th-and-1 where a two-yard dive by Ryan Roberson on a fake punt extended the drive. With a 2nd-and 18, Gilbert hit Marquise Goodwin for 12 yards and on third down he hit James Kirkendoll for nine yards and the first down. On 3rd-and-13 from the Tech 27, a pass from Gilbert to tight end Greg Smith fell incomplete, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty gave the Horns a first down and they hit paydirt seven plays later. Gilbert ended the game with a career-high 227 yards and two TDs on 21-of-36 passing. Kirkendoll caught six passes for a career-high 122 yards, his second career 100-yard receiving game. He had a 33-yard catch to set up a TD and a 45-yard grab. Mike Davis caught six passes for 45 yards and one TD. Whittaker led Texas’ rushers with 55 yards and one TD on 15 carries.

ATTENDANCE: 101,437 (SELLOUT) • ABC/ESPN2WEATHER CONDITIONS: CLOUDY (90 DEGREES)

UCLA took advantage of five Longhorns’ turnovers as No. 7/4 Texas was upset by the Bruins, 34-12, in front of a sellout crowd of 101,437 at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The loss snapped a 16-game home win streak for the Longhorns. Four first-half turnovers by the Longhorns gave UCLA possession inside the Texas 45-yard line on four different occasions. UCLA took over at the UT 20-yard line on the first turnover, a Garrett Gilbert sack and a fumble. Texas’ defense pushed the Bruins back 11 yards on three plays and the Horns came out unscathed with UCLA missing a 49 yard field goal. Texas took advantage of a Bruins’ turnover to take a 3-0 lead when Justin Tucker hit a 31-yard field goal after Aaron Williams caused a fumble which was scooped up by Sam Acho at the UCLA 19-yard line. The Bruins scored 13 points to close out the first half with 10 of the points coming on drives of 4 yards on two plays and 2 yards on four plays. Curtis Brown fumbled a punt return at UT’s 4-yard line that resulted in a UCLA touchdown and another Longorns’ fumble at their own 33-yard line led to a 49-yard field goal. Texas trailed 13-3 at the half, despite owning a 129-77 advantage in total offense and holding UCLA to negative yardage on three of their eight drives. For the game, Texas held UCLA to just 27 passing yards, the 13th-lowest total for an opponent since 1944 and the fewest the Longhorns have allowed since yielding just 27 yards in the air versus Rice in 2003. The Longhorns’ defense caused two turn-overs, including a pair of forced fumbles by Aaron Williams, with Emmanuel Acho and Sam Acho logging the recoveries. Sam Acho forced a fumble that Texas was unable to recover. The Horns defense also notched four sacks, including one apiece by Emmanuel Acho, Sam Acho, Jackson Jeffcoat and Aaron Wil-liams. Williams accounted for three of Texas’ 10 TFL. Kenny Vaccaro registered a game-high 11 tackles. Keenan Robinson added nine and Emmanuel Acho chipped in with seven. The Longhorns amassed 349 yards of total offense, but the turnovers proved costly. Garrett Gilbert completed 30-of-45 for 264 yards, all were career-highs. He threw one TD pass, a 5-yard comple-tion to James Kirkendoll. Five different receivers caught a pass of at least 16 yards. Marquise Goodwin logged six receptions for 62 yards, both career-highs. Kirkendoll caught six passes for 42 yards and one TD. Fozzy Whittaker grabbed a career-high six passes for 34 yards. John Chiles logged a career-high 55 re-ceiving yards on three catches. Malcolm Williams reached the 1,000-yard plateau in receiving yardage for his career, grabbing three passes for 30 yards. D.J. Monroe logged 174 all-purpose yards, including 51 rushing yards on six carries and 123 yards on five kickoff returns. The Longhorns averaged 51.2 yards on four punts, including one punt of 60 or more yards each by Jus-tin Tucker (65) and John Gold (62). Tucker made both of his field goal attempts, including kicks of 31 and 34 yards.
