USA Today Coaches preseason polls. UT has opened the season in The AP Top Five in four of the last five years. It is the ninth time in the last 10 years Texas has been ranked in The AP Preseason Top 10. This is also the fourth time in the last five years that the Longhorns have opened the season in the USA Today Coaches Preseason Top Five. The coaches have ranked Texas in the preseason Top 10 for 10 consecutive seasons, a UT best. The Horns enter the season with a No. 2 ranking in The AP poll for the fourth time (2005, 1970 and ’62) and for the fifth time (2006, ’05, ’02 and 1983) in the coaches poll. TEXAS RIDING A NATIONALLEADING STREAK OF EIGHT CONSECUTIVE 10-WIN SEASONS: Texas has posted at least 10 wins in each of the last eight seasons, becoming just the third team in college football history to win at least 10 games in eight straight seasons. The Horns’ streak is tied for second all-time with Miami (1985-92), trailing Florida State’s streak of 14 consecutive seasons. The current streak also is the longest active mark in the nation. Overall, Texas’ 116 victories over the last 12 years are the most in the nation. The Horns also have won more Big 12 games (72) than any other team in the conference during that time. In addition, the Horns set a school record last season by winning a bowl game for the fifth straight year after defeating No. 10 Ohio State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Texas is one of only two schools nationally that has won five consecutive bowl games. The Fiesta Bowl win marked UT’s seventh bowl victory in the last eight years, 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 11 seasons under Brown equaled the amount Texas won in the 30 years prior to Brown’s arrival.

(202-100-1/.668) during a career. Brown became just the 19th coach, who has spent at least 10 years at a NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) school, to win 200 games and the seventh-youngest coach to do so. He also is one of only four active coaches, who has spent at least five years at an FBS school, to reach the 200-victory mark. In addition, Brown is one of only 10 active coaches at FBS schools who have won 100 games at their current school (116-26/.817). Of the 80 coaches that have ever won 100 games at a FBS school, Brown is the 14th fastest to reach the century mark (124 games) and the third-fastest among active coaches. With 202 victories, Brown is tied with Don Nehlen for 15th on the NCAA all-time victories list. UT’S NO. 2 ALL-TIME: Mack Brown has won 116 games at Texas. He is in second place on UT’s all-time list behind only Darrell Royal, who tallied 167 victories from 1957-76. Brown moved ahead of Fred Akers, who posted 86 wins from 1977-86, during the 2006 season. NINE-WIN SEASONS: Texas has posted at least nine victories for 11 straight seasons. The streak of 11 straight seasons of nine or more victories is a UT first and the longest active string in the nation. In addition, with 10 wins in his final two seasons at North Carolina, Mack Brown is the lone coach nationally to lead his team to nine or more victories in 13 straight seasons. STRING OF SUCCESS: With a 2008 No. 3 final ranking, Texas has finished the year ranked among the nation’s Top 15 in each of the last nine seasons, a Longhorn best. In addition, UT has finished in the Top 10 in six of the last eight seasons (2001, ’02, ’04, ’05, ’07 and ’08). 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 11-year tenure at Texas, the Horns have set 214 school records. The offense has led the way by setting 135 team, individual, game, season and career records. UT also has set 14 defensive records, 32 special teams

TACKLING THE TOP 25: Texas is 23-5 (.821) in its last 28 games versus Top 25 opponents, including a 17-3 mark (.850) in its last 20 match-ups with all three losses coming 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 his 11 years in Austin, UT is 30-17 (.638) versus Top 25 opponents. In fact, the Longhorns have posted a winning record against ranked opponents in each of the last seven seasons.

11 straight years, bettering the previous record of eight straight seasons from 196875. UT-RECORD 171 STRAIGHT WEEKS IN COACHES POLL: UT has been ranked among the USA Today Coaches Poll for 171 straight weeks dating back to late in the 1998 season. The 171 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 USC’s 116 weeks. 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 11 of Mack Brown’s seasons in Austin. BROWN’S TOP 10 HORNS: Mack Brown revived the Horns as a Top 10 regular beginning with a No. 5 preseason ranking in 2001. Since then, the Horns have earned a Top 10 standing in 107 of the last 130 AP polls. All totaled, UT has spent 114 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 six of the last eight 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 secondlongest streak in the nation and bettered the Horns’ run of 40 straight weeks from 1968-71. It also 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. Currently, Texas has an active streak of 18 consecutive weeks ranked in the Top 10. EIGHT STRAIGHT TOP 15 FINISHES: Texas’ No. 3 ranking in 2008 marked the ninth straight year the Horns finished ranked among the nation’s Top 15. That is the first time UT has ever accomplished that feat. The 2008 standing followed 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 finished the season ranked among the nation’s Top 15 in each of the last nine seasons. CONFERENCE COMPETITION: Mack Brown, who has guided the Horns to the 2005 Big 12 Championship and has won or shared the Big 12 South Division Championship five times, is 72-16 (.818) in 11 seasons of Big 12 play. That is the best league record over that span, ahead of Oklahoma (70-18), Nebraska (53-35) and Texas Tech (52-36). UT has won 40 of its last 47 games against Big 12 foes. The Horns had tied the school record by winning 21 straight conference games from 2004-06 before the streak was snapped at Kansas State in 2006. The record of 21

straight conference victories was set from 1968-71 when Texas was competing in the Southwest Conference. The 21-straight Big 12 victories also marked the longest streak in league history. At 80-24 (.769), Texas has the top intraconference record since the Big 12 formed in 1996. JAMAIL FIELD ADVANTAGE: During Mack Brown’s 12-year tenure, Texas has won 60 of its 66 games (.909) at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field, including two of the five-longest home winning streaks in UT history. The Horns’ .897 home winning percentage (354) 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. 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 tied for the fourth-best string on UT record. Under Brown, the Horns have outscored their opponents by an average of 43-16 and outgained them by an average of 469.1 yards to 288.3 at home. UT’S BIG 12 SUCCESS AT HOME: Texas is 36-3 (.923) at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field versus league opponents during the Mack Brown era. The 36 home victories are the most by any team in the conference over the last 11 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 (3517 to No. 13 Kansas State). ROAD WARRIORS: Texas is 52-17 (.754) away from home (road and neutral sites) over the last 10 years, which is the nation’s best record over that span. The Horns have lost only nine true road games (not including neutral-site games) in Mack Brown’s 11-year tenure, with two of them coming in his first three games at UT. The Longhorns have won 36 of their last 40 true road games (.900). 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. Overall, Texas is 41-9 (.820) on the road (not including neutral-site games) and

35-5 (.875) versus unranked road foes during the Mack Brown era. In addition, UT is currently on a streak of nine 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 27 of its last 31 (.871) true Big 12 Conference road games (not including neutral-site games), including a league-record 13 consecutive conference road wins from 2002-06. The Horns are 31-6 (.838) 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). Prior to Brown’s arrival, UT posted just two winning road records in the 11 seasons leading up to 1998 (the first year under Brown). All totalled during that time, UT was just 24-28 in road games. CAPS AND GOWNS: In 11 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 2009 spring semester, 84 of Texas’ 99 (84.9%) seniors, who completed their eligibility at Texas during that stretch, earned their degrees. The top year in that time came during the Horns’ National Championship season in 2005. From that group, 26 of 29 (89.7%) seniors earned their degrees by this May. Eighteen of those seniors had received their diplomas prior to UT’s victory over USC. The early graduation has been a positive trend at UT as well. Over the last four years, nearly 50 percent (48of-99) of Texas’ seniors have graduated prior to the Longhorns’ bowl game. The Longhorns’ 2008 class of seniors featured 19-of-23 (82.6%) graduates by the end of spring with all 23 on schedule to complete their degrees by the Fall of 2009. Twentyone of 24 seniors (87.5%) from the class of 2007 have graduated with two more on pace to complete their degrees in 2009. From the 2006 group of 23 seniors, 18 (78.3%) have graduated and four more are less than two semesters short of their degrees.

EARLIER GRADUATION: Another growing trend has been Longhorns earning their degrees in three and a half years. Over the last two seasons, six Longhorns have graduated in that timespan. In 2007, WR Nate Jones, who is now with the St. Louis Rams, S Drew Kelson, DT Derek Lokey, who is on the Kansas City Chiefs’ roster, and DT Frank Okam, who plays with the Houston Texans, earned their degrees in under four years. In 2008, DT Roy Miller received his degree in communications studies after just three and a half years, and RB Chris Ogbonnaya finished his degree in history in the same timeframe. LONGHORNS IN THE NFL: The Texas Football program is not only one of the 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 46 players on NFL rosters, including five from last year’s team. The 46 players are the most among Big 12 schools and rank eighth nationally. And, they aren’t just roster players either. Of the 40 Longhorns on rosters prior to this season, 30 have started games during their NFL careers, including 23 who were 2008 starters and 24 that started as rookies. Among that group of 40, seven have earned a spot in a Pro Bowl and seven have played in a Super Bowl with four coming away as Super Bowl Champions. 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 football. Following the 2008 season, Texas installed FieldTurf as its playing surface and 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 stadium of any kind 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. The scoreboard is 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 consis-

tently being upgraded. Prior to this season, 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, drawing over 84,000 fans per game. The Horns, who have played in front of a sellout crowd in their last 54 home games, have attracted 48 of the top 50 crowds in UT history since Mack Brown took over in 1998. Texas’ schoolrecord season-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 project, the Horns opened 2009 against ULM by setting the single-game attendance record of 101,096, which is the largest crowd to ever see a football game in the state of Texas. UT’s previous single-game attendance record of 98,621 was established when it hosted Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night last season. Texas also set a season-attendance record in 2008 with a total of 686,324, which bettered the Horns’ previous season best of 619,534, set in 2006. Overall, the top 21 home crowds at Texas have come since ’06. On top of that, Texas has attracted record crowds in six of its road games over the past three seasons, at Texas Tech (56,333, 2008 and 56,158, 2006), vs. Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl (92,182, 2008), at UTEP (53,415, 2008), at Texas A&M (88,253, 2007) and at Nebraska (85,187, 2006). COMEBACKS UNDER MACK BROWN: During Mack Brown’s 12 seasons at Texas, the Horns have registered 22 second-half comebacks, including 12 fourth-quarter comebacks. UT has recorded the six largest comebacks in school history during the Mack Brown era. 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. From there, Colt McCoy led an 11-play, 78-yard drive that culminated with a 26-yard TD pass to Quan Cosby with 16 seconds left to give UT the 24-21 victory.

OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION: In 11 completed seasons under Mack Brown and offensive coordinator Greg Davis, UT’s offense has produced nine of the top 10 passing seasons, 10 of the top 12 total yardage campaigns and the top eight scoring years in school history. The Horns have also averaged at least 200 yards both rushing and passing in four of the 11 seasons. During their tenure, the Longhorns have registered 135 school records, thirtyeight 50-point games and four of the top six total offense games on school record. In addition, UT has produced forty 500yard total offense performances (there are only 63 of them in the 116 years of Texas football) and has recorded nine of the school’s nineteen 600-yard total offense games.

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 having 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 history 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 scoring (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 balanced 266.5 yards passing per game and 204.2 yards rushing per game. SCORING SPREE: Texas has averaged 39.2 points per game this decade, which ranks second nationally and first among BCS conference schools. The Horns have averaged at least 35 ppg in eight of the nine seasons this decade, 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 his 11 seasons. 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 shattered 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 coordinator Greg Davis took over UT’s offense in 1998, Texas has produced its only 2,000yard rusher (2,124, Ricky Williams, 1998), 1,000-yard receivers (1,087, Wane McGarity, 1998/1,188, Kwame Cavil, 1999/1,142, Roy Williams, 2002/1,079, Roy Williams, 2003/1,123, Quan Cosby, 2008/1,060, Jordan Shipley, 2008), 3,000-yard passers (3,859, Colt McCoy, 2008/3,357, Major Applewhite, 1999/3,303 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 history. UT has seen players record school singleseason bests for rushing touchdowns (28, Ricky Williams, 1998), TD passes (32,

In addition, Colt McCoy set the NCAA single-season completion percentage record at 76.7% (332-of-433) in 2008. 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’ freshman 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: In his first season at Texas, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp led a Longhorn defense that held all 13 opponents under their season scoring averages and seven teams under 14 points. 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 31 of the last 40 games, including 14 or less 21 times. On average, his units are giving up just 16.7 points per game during that stretch. In 2008, UT’s defense allowed just 18.8 points per game (18th NCAA/first Big 12). 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 games 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. 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 the Longhorns’ staff have reversed that trend. Texas has ranked among the nation’s top 25 in total defense in eight of the last 11 seasons.

2009: The Texas defense allowed 298 total yards (197p/101r) in the season opener against ULM. Over the first three quarters, Texas only gave up 188 yards and eight first downs. If you subtract ULM’s long play of 75 yards, the Horns gave up just 223 yards on 64 plays for an average of 3.5 yards per play. UT’s defense allowed just five thirddown conversions on 15 attempts, including 1-of-8 in the first half. ULM had three drives that started inside the UT 40-yard line, but the Texas D stiffened and only allowed three points. On one of the series, UT defended six plays inside the 10-yard line and forced a turnover thanks to a Nolan Brewster INT. 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 redzone 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 holding opponents to a 127.5 passer rating. UT held seven teams under 100 yards rushing, 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 second-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 nationally 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 remaining eight opponents to 267 yards or fewer. Statistically, UT’s best defensive performance 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.

AIR DEFENSE: Texas’ pass defense has been ranked in the Top 10 in five of the last nine seasons. It has allowed opponents to complete 52.9 percent (1,996-of-3,770) of their passes for only 200.8 yards per game (23,093 in 116 games), while intercepting 130 passes (1.1 pg).

2009: Texas opened the season by holding ULM’s quarterback to 14-of30 passing for 197 yards, while intercepting one pass and breaking up eight. ULM managed just 6.6 yards per attempt. If you subtract their long completion of 75 yards, the Horns allowed just 122 yards passing on 29 attempts (4.2 yards per attempt). 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 freshmen. Overall, the Horns had eight members 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 passing or less. In addition, on 69 attempts, the Horns’ defense only allowed 13 conversions of third down and 10 or more (18.8%).

2005: UT finished eighth nationally in pass defense (172.0 ypg). The Horns also finished 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 efficiency 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 second-lowest completion percentage in the nation (45.2%/171-of378), 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 that featured several high-powered passing attacks to a Big 12-low 146.7 passing yards per game (third NCAA) and ranked fourth nationally in pas­s efficiency defense (88.0). Texas held its opponents to a NCAA-low 4.77 yards per attempt and just six TDs (t-2nd NCAA) in 2001. In 2002, Texas allowed opponents to complete 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.

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 2007: UT allowed 277.8 yards passing per NCAA).

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 12 seasons at Texas, they have turned that around dramatically. The Horns have limited 52 of their last 101 opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing and allowed just twenty-eight 100-yard rushers in the last 128 games. In addition, at home over the last three seasons (21 games), Texas has only allowed six teams to break the 100-yard plateau and has only allowed three individual 100-yard rushers. In true road games over the last three seasons (11 games), Texas has only allowed five teams to reach 100 yards rushing and just two individual 100-yard rushers. Texas has held its opponent under 50 yards rushing 35 times during the Mack Brown era. During the last nine seasons (104 games), UT has held opponents to just 106.8 rushing yards per game (11,109 yards on 3,426 carries) and 3.2 yards per carry. 2009: Texas allowed 101 yards rushing on 35 carries in the season opener against ULM for a 2.9 yards-per-carry average. 2008: Texas gave up just 83.5 yards rushing 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 rushing 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 12thbest 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 rushing ypg (sixth NCAA) and just 2.8 yards per carry. GUARDING THE END ZONE: Texas’ defense has made it difficult for opponents to reach the end zone over the last 10 seasons. Since 2000, the Horns have allowed only 242 TDs in 116 games (2.1 TDs per game), which ranks sixth nationally. Miami has allowed the fewest TDs, giving up only 212. 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 six of the last nine seasons. Conversely, Texas has scored at least 45 TDs in each of the last nine seasons, with a high of 81 scores in 2005. The Horns scored 74 TDs in 2008 and 537 TDs over the 10-year span, averaging 4.6 TDs per game.

possessions (.414) in 2002 and 73-of-165 possessions (.442) in 2001.

NCAA LEADERS Non-offensive touchdowns since 1999

“SPECIAL” TEAMS: The Texas special teams have been just that since Mack Brown took over the program in 1998. Since then, Texas has blocked 63 kicks (35 punts/16 FGs/12 PATs), an average of 5.7 per season. That is 38 more than the 25 recorded in the 11-year span prior to Brown’s arrival. UT has blocked the most kicks in the nation since 2000 with 54 to lead Virginia Tech (46) and N.C. State (45). 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. Texas also has improved its kick returning and defending on kickoffs and punts. The Longhorns have scored on eight punt returns, while only giving up three punt return TDs since Brown’s arrival. 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 difference 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. Texas has given up three kickoff returns for TDs during the Mack Brown era which is the same amount UT allowed in the 12 years prior to Brown’s arrival. When Brown arrived in 1998, Texas hadn’t returned a kickoff for a score since 1978. The Horns snapped that string when Victor Ike returned a kickoff 93 yards for a TD in the 2000 Holiday Bowl. 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, Jordan Shipley notched a 96-yard kickoff return TD versus Oklahoma in 2008 and D.J. Monroe scored on an 89-yard kickoff return in the 2009 season opener against ULM. In addition, four of Texas’ most accurate field goal kickers (Kris Stockton,

FORCING TURNOVERS: Texas’ defense has forced 307 turnovers during the Mack Brown era (142 games/2.2 per game), while only giving up 237 turnovers for a plus-70 turnover margin. Overall, the Horns have averaged a plus-six turnover margin per season during Brown’s tenure. In the 2009 season opener, Texas recovered two fumbles and notched an INT. Last season, 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 provided 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. 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 64 TDs via returns, turnovers and blocked kicks. The 64 scores during that stretch rank third nationally behind Virginia Tech (72) and Kansas State (68). UT opened 2009 with one non-offensive TD, an 89-yard kickoff

return TD by D.J. Monroe. Texas posted five non-offensive TDs in 2008 behind two INT returns, a fumble return, a kickoff return and a punt return. In 2007, UT posted five non-offensive 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. In the nine-season stretch, Texas scored the most non-offensive TDs in 2003 (nine). SCORING DEFENSE: Texas’ defense has been a scoring machine since 1999. During that time, the defense has accounted for 246 points and scored in 36 of the 130 games. The Horns’ defense has scored at least three TDs in nine of the last 10 seasons, 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. SHORT DRIVES: The Texas defense has prevented its opponents from moving the chains on 36.3 percent of their drives over the last eight seasons (104 games). During that time, UT has forced 482 three-and-outs or better in 1,331 possessions. UT opened the 2009 season against ULM by forcing five three-and-outs or better on 14 possessions. The Horns forced 44 three-and-outs or better on 152 possessions (.289) in 2008, averaging over three three-and-outs per game. In 2007, UT forced 52 three-and-outs or better on 168 possessions (.310). Texas forced 60 three-and-outs or better on 154 possessions (.390) in 2006. Previously, the Horns held foes to three-and-outs or better on 73-of-178 possessions (.438) in 2005, 46-of-153 possessions (.307) in 2004, 56-of181 possessions (.309) in 2003, 73-of-176

was one of only four Longhorns to return a punt and a kickoff for a TD during a career and just the secodn Longhorn to post over 2,000 receiving yards and 1,500 kickoff return yards in a career. Ogbonnaya was a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy, a second-team Academic All-America selection and an honorable mention All-Big 12 choice in 2008. He topped UT’s singleseason receptions by a running back list with 46 and ranked second with 540 yards. For his career, he ranks third on both lists with 75 receptions for 792 yards. In addition to Cosby, Ogbonnaya and Orakpo, Bobino, Lewis, Melton, Miller and Palmer were named to various All-Big 12 teams for the defense, while Dockery was named all-conference for the offense. OFFENSIVE RETURNEES: Texas returns 16 players in 2009 that have starting experience at every offensive position. That group, which includes the reigning National Player of the Year, two All-Americans and five players that earned mention on one of the All-Big 12 teams, helped pace an offense that ranked fifth nationally in scoring offense (42.4 ppg), seventh in passing offense (308.3 ypg) and ninth in total offense (475.8 ypg). Back from that offense are Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy runner-up senior QB Colt McCoy, a corp of wide receivers led by McCoy’s favorite target senior All-America WR Jordan Shipley, a stable of three running backs and six offensive linemen with starting experience, including four full-time starters from 2008. McCoy is coming off the most productive season for a quarterback in UT history. He set a NCAA record with a 76.7 completion percentage and posted UT single-season marks with 3,859 passing yards, 34 TD passes, a 173.8 passer rating and 4,420 total yards. McCoy is the nation’s only returning QB that passed for more than 3,500 yards and rushed for over 500 and leads all returning QBs in career passing yards with 10,049. Shipley, who earned All-America honors last season after posting 89 receptions for 1,060 yards and 11 TDs, currently ranks sixth on UT’s

all-time reception list with 140, seventh in receiving yards with 1,886 and second with 21 TD receptions. He is joined by juniors Brandon Collins (19 games/three starts) and James Kirkendoll (18 games/six starts) and sophomore Malcolm Williams (14 games/ eight starts). That group combined to catch 73 passes for 955 yards and seven TDs in 2008. The backfield trio of junior Vondrell McGee (25 games/four starts) and sophomores Cody Johnson (14 games/two starts) and Fozzy Whittaker (seven games/two starts) combined to post 998 yards and 16 TDs on 228 carries (4.4 ypc) in 2008. The offensive line returns seniors C Chris Hall (32 games/24 starts/11 starts, second-team All-Big 12 in 2008), OG Charlie Tanner (32 games/20 starts/10 starts, honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2008) and OT Adam Ulatoski (37 games/31 starts/13 starts, firstteam All-Big 12 in 2008) and junior OT Kyle Hix (27 games/15 straight starts at right tackle). In addition, juniors OT Tray Allen (21 games) and OG Michael Huey (27 games/four starts) and sophomore C/ OG David Snow (14 games/two starts at center) also return. THREE KEY OFFENSIVE STARTE RS NEED TO BE REPLACED: Texas will need to replace three key veterans on offense, who each earned All-Big 12 honors last year, for the 2009 season. The trio combined to play in 140 games (72 starts). Two-time All-Big 12 WR Quan Cosby finished his career with 212 receptions (No. 2 on UT’s all-time list), 2,598 yards (No. 3 on UT’s all-time list) and 19 TDs (No. 4 on UT’s all-time list). Cosby also is the top kickoff returner in UT history, having returned 73 kickoffs (No. 1 on UT’s all-time list) for 1,731 yards (No. 1 on UT’s all-time list). He is one of just four players in Texas history to return a punt and a kickoff for a TD during a career. OG Cedric Dockery, who also was a two-time All-Big 12 selection, played in 41 career games, making 30 starts. RB Chris Ogbonnaya, who was a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy (Academic Heisman) and an honorable mention All-Big 12 performer, finished his career with 597 yards and eight TDs on the ground to go along with 75 receptions for 792 yards, which both rank third on UT’s all-time list for running backs. THE REAL MCCOY: Colt McCoy’s 33-7 record as a starter ranks first on UT’s all-time victories list ahead of Vince Young (30-2, 2003-05) and is nine victories shy of tying Georgia’s David Greene for the all-time NCAA wins record (42).

(82.1%) for 311 yards and two TDs, while rushing for 49 yards and two scores on 11 carries in just over three quarters of work. McCoy led UT to TDs on 6-of-8 drives, including three of at least 78 yards, and helped UT convert 14-of-17 third downs. NO. 10 OHIO STATE: McCoy tallied career highs in completions (41), attempts (58) and passing yards (414) and was named Offensive MVP of the 2009 Fiesta Bowl. The 41 completions and 58 attempts set school and BCS records and the 414 passing yards rank second in BCS history and third overall on UT’s all-time list. McCoy posted two passing TDs and a rushing TD and went 7-of-10 for 76 yards, including a 26-yard TD pass with 16 seconds left, on UT’s game-winning drive. ONE IF BY LAND, ONE IF BY AIR: Colt McCoy was one of eight QBs nationally who led his team in both rushing and passing in 2008. One of 12 players nationally to throw for 3,500 yards (3,859) in 2008, McCoy also rushed for a team-high 561 yards (11 TDs). He is joined by Chase Clement (Rice) as the only players in the country to pass for at least 3,500 yards and rush for more than 500. McCoy was just the second quarterback since Bobby Layne in 1946 to lead the Horns in both rushing and passing withVince Young being the other in 2005. CRUNCH TIME: In Texas’ three biggest games of 2008, against No. 1 Oklahoma in Dallas, at No. 6 Texas Tech and versus No. 10 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, Colt McCoy’s late game heroics were at their finest. In six late game drives in those three games, McCoy directed the Longhorns to TDs on all six. On those six TD drives, McCoy completed 21-of-27 passes for 301 yards and three TDs (no interceptions). With UT trailing 35-30 with 11:42 left in the game against the Sooners, McCoy directed two TD drives to put the Horns

And, those numbers were equally good against the nation’s best. In games against Top 25 opponents, McCoy completed 16-of-20 passes (80.0%) for 108 yards and five TDs (one INT) in the red zone. In the first game of 2009, McCoy went 5-of-5 for 44 yards and a TD in the red zone. HOME COOKING: Colt McCoy has been in total control of the offense over the last two seasons at Darrell K Royal

Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field. In eight homes games since the start of the 2008 season, McCoy has gone 197of-242 (81.4%) for 2,392 yards and 23 TDs (four INTs) for a 192.5 passer rating. He’s thrown at least two TD passes in each game and for at least 300 yards six times. He opened 2009 by going 21-of29 (72.4%) for 317 yards and two TDs (one INT) for a 180.1 rating. In Texas’ seven home games of 2008, McCoy went 176-of-213 (82.6%) for 2,075 yards and 21 TDs (three INTs) for a 194.2 passer rating. In addition, he rushed 69 times for 404 yards (5.9 ypc) and nine TDs. McCoy averaged 8.8 yards per play and posted 30 total TDs compared to just 37 incomplete passes. ON A ROLL: Over his last 22 games, Colt McCoy has gone 512-of-700 (73.1%) for 6,228 yards and 50 TDs for a passer rating of 166.3, while rushing for 948 yards and 15 TDs. During that span, he is averaging 326.2 yards of total offense and three TDs per game. Overall, McCoy has thrown for at least 275 yards 14 times and had five games with at least four TD passes. He also has posted at least 50 yards rushing in nine games, including two 100-yard games (Oklahoma St., 106, 2007; FAU, 103, 2008). MCCOY’S GROUND GAME: Colt McCoy is the fifth QB in Longhorn history to rush for 1,000 yards. He has posted 1,220 yards and 17 TDs on 325 carries (3.8 ypc) during his 40-game career, but the bulk of that yardage has come during the last three seasons. Since the beginning of 2007, McCoy has posted 1,050 yards and 15 TDs on 257 carries (4.1 ypc). In 2008 alone, McCoy tallied 561 yards and 11 TDs on 136 carries (4.1 ypc). The 561 yards rushing were the most by a Texas QB other than Vince Young since 1975. In 2007, McCoy finished second on the team in rushing with 492 yards, but his production was even better if you figure his totals purely as a runner (minus sack yardage). On 88 rushes, McCoy gained 665 yards (7.6 ypc), scored four TDs and posted 37 first downs. His 7.5 ypc average would have ranked him third nationally. Excluding sacks, McCoy has rushed for at least 50 yards in 10 of the last 14 games. He produced his first career 100yard rushing game with 106 at Oklahoma State in 2007 and his 14-yard scramble on the final drive set up Texas’ 40-yard game-winning field goal. McCoy added

his second career 100-yard game in the 2008 season opener against FAU with 106 yards on 12 carries (8.6 ypc). During his career, McCoy has tallied 54 runs of at least 10 yards with 20 of them coming during 2008. He also has produced 17 runs of at least 20 yards and four of at least 30 yards during his career. SOPHOMORE SUCCESS: After one of the most productive seasons by a QB in UT history in 2006, Colt McCoy returned in 2007 to earn both team and Holiday Bowl MVP honors. For the season, McCoy went 276-of-424 (65.1%) for 3,303 yards (No. 3 on UT’s single-season list) and 22 TDs (T-No. 5 on UT’s single-season list) for a passer rating of 139.2 (24th NCAA). McCoy’s 276 completions rank second on UT’s single-season list, while his 424 attempts stand third. McCoy also was the team’s second-leading rusher with 492 yards, including at least 40 yards rushing in six of the last seven games and his first career 100-yard rushing game (106 at Oklahoma State). He amassed 3,795 total yards on the season (22nd NCAA/No. 3 on UT’s single-season list). He passed for at least 200 yards 11 times and posted at least 300 yards of total offense six times. He matched UT’s all-time record by reaching the 1,000-yard plateau after the first four games of 2007 and tied for second on UT’s all-time list by reaching 2,000 yards passing after eight games.

FANTASTIC FIRST SEASON: After redshirting in 2005, Colt McCoy took over the reins of the Longhorn offense from former National Player of the Year and NFL Pro Bowler Vince Young in 2006. He progressed throughout the season and earned The Sporting News and Touchdown Club of Columbus National Freshman of the Year awards, while becoming a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award (nation’s top quarterback). McCoy also shared UT’s MVP honors with Aaron Ross. He finished his redshirtfreshman campaign with a 161.8 passer rating (eighth NCAA), completing 217of-318 passes (68.2%) for 2,570 yards (No. 7 on UT’s single-season list/No. 1 on UT’s freshman single-season list) and a then UT-record 29 TDs (T-No. 2 on NCAA single-season freshman list), while throwing just seven INTs.

him for that game. That injury slowed him against Texas A&M, but he returned to form, capping his rookie campaign by earning Offensive MVP honors at the Alamo Bowl. He completed 26-of-40 passes (65.0%) for 308 yards and two TDs in leading the Horns to a 26-24 come-from-behind victory. RECORD-BREAKING FRESHMAN SEASON: As a freshman in 2006, Colt McCoy threw 29 TD passes, which set the UT single-season mark, breaking the record of 26 shared by Chris Simms (2002) and Vince Young (2005). He also tied the then-NCAA freshman record held by Nevada’s David Neill (1998). Against Baylor in 2006, McCoy threw six TD passes, which set the UT record for TD passes in a game and tied the NCAA freshman mark. The six TD throws eclipsed the previous mark of five set by James Brown (at Baylor, 1994) and matched by Chris Simms (at Oklahoma State, 2001). McCoy’s 2,570 yards passing as a freshman rank first on UT’s single-season freshman list and seventh on the overall single-season list. His 2,740 yards of total offense also rank first on UT’s freshman single-season list and seventh on the overall single-season list. He produced 352 yards of total offense against Oklahoma State in 2006,

DID YOU KNOW? Colt McCoy has thrown a touchdown pass in 37 of his 40 starts and at least two TD passes in 28.

COMEBACK KID: Over the past few seasons, Texas has developed a neversay-die attitude that has helped pull off comebacks on several occasions. Much like his mentor Vince Young, who engineered six fourth-quarter comebacks and eight second-half comebacks, Colt McCoy has proven that he is capable of leading the Horns when they are behind. He has already posted 10 second-half comebacks, including seven fourth-quarter comebacks, during his career. vs. NO. 14 OKLAHOMA (2006): The first comeback of McCoy’s career came after Texas trailed 10-7 at halftime, but the Horns stormed back for a 28-10 victory. McCoy opened the second half by going 5-of-5 passing for 66 yards and two TDs, while rushing for 23 yards on two scoring drives that put away the Sooners. vs. BAYLOR (2006): Texas fell behind 10-0 after the first quarter before McCoy hit stride. He racked up 268 yards and a UT-record six TD passes on 19-of-26 passing (73.1%) over the final three quarters to lead UT to a 63-31 victory. at NO. 17 NEBRASKA (2006): McCoy brought the Horns back in his first test on the road. With Nebraska leading 20-19, Texas got the ball back at the Nebraska 44-yard line with 2:17 to play. McCoy methodically moved the Horns to the Nebraska five before UT kicked a field goal with 23 seconds left to take the lead for good, 22-20.

FAMILIAR TARGET: Since Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley began seeing the field at the same time, the duo has become one of the most prolific tandems in UT history. Of Shipley’s 140 career catches, McCoy has been the quarterback for 135 of them. Their 135 connections rank second on UT’s QB-to-WR combo chart. McCoy-to-Quan Cosby ranks first all-time with 191 connections (2006-08), while Chris Simms-to-Roy Williams (131, 2000-02) ranks third. CLUTCH COMBO: Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley have established themselves as one of the best one-two punches in college football but what they did on third down in 2008 is just as impressive. In 24 pass attempts to Shipley on third down, the two connected 20 times (83.3%). Eighteen of the 20 plays went for first downs, totaling 253 yards and three TDs.

BELITNIKOFF AWARD CANDIDATE JORDAN SHIPLEY: Senior Jordan Shipley returns as one of the most versatile and dangerous pass catchers in the nation. Shipley has recorded 140 receptions (No. 6 on UT’s all-time list) for 1,886 yards (No. 7 on UT’s alltime list) (13.5 ypc) and 21 TDs (No. 2 on UT’s all-time list) during his 40-game career (22 starts). He set the UT record by catching a TD pass in eight consecutive games to open 2008, bettering Limas Sweed’s seven-game streak in 2006, and has caught a TD pass in 12 of his last 17 games. Shipley scored a TD in 10 of 13 games in 2008 with a 45-yard punt return for a TD at No. 6 Texas Tech accounting for a score in one of the games he didn’t catch a TD pass. Combining the 45-yard punt return against the Red Raiders with his 96-yard kickoff return for a TD against No. 1 Oklahoma, Shipley became just the fourth Longhorn to return a kickoff and a punt for a TD during a career. He is one of only three players returning in the NCAA FBS that returned a punt and a kickoff for a TD last season. Shipley also serves as UT’s holder. 2009: Shipley recorded eight receptions for 180 yards (22.5 ypc) and a TD in the season-opening victory over ULM. The 180 receiving yards were the most ever by a UT receiver in an opener and tied for seventh on UT’s single-game list.

His 11 catches were a Red River Rivalry record and a career high at the time. He posted his second career 100-yard receiving game (112) and caught a TD against the Sooners. Shipley also added a 96-yard kickoff return for a TD, which was the only kickoff return for a TD in Red River Rivalry history, and the third-longest in UT history. His 225 all-purpose yards were also a career high. Shipley set a UT single-game record with 15 catches against No. 7 Oklahoma State, while posting a career-high 168 yards and a TD.

receiver in the spring of 2009 after spending his first two seasons at quarterback, where he produced 488 yards of total offense (322r/166p) and six TDs (4r/2p) in limited action. Chiles spent time at wide receiver as a prepster and posted 694 receiving yards and eight TDs as a junior before making the full-time switch to quarterback. In his first game at wide receiver, Chiles caught three passes for 35 yards and a TD in UT’s season-opening victory over ULM. TWO-SPORT STAR: Texas true freshman WR Marquise Goodwin saw the first action of his career against ULM and made three catches for 39 yards. As a prepster, he posted 132 receptions for 1,709 yards and 17 TDs over his three-year career, but he made a name for himself as a track and field standout. Goodwin, the national high school record holder in the long jump with a mark of 26-10, is a two-time World Junior Champion (long jump, 4x100) and four-time Texas 5A state champion (long jump (2), triple jump, 4x100). Boasting a personal best 10.24 in the 100 meters, Goodwin’s leap of 26-4.75 to win the 2009 state long jump championship would have won the Big 12 Championship in that event. THREE-BACK ATTACK: With Chris Ogbonnaya playing in the NFL for the St. Louis Rams, Texas returns three running backs with significant game experience for 2009. The group includes junior Vondrell McGee and sophomores Cody Johnson and Foswhitt “Fozzy” Whittaker. That threesome combined to rush for 998 yards and 16 TDs on 228 carries (4.4 ypc) in 2008. Vondrell McGee: McGee earned the starting nod for UT’s season-opening victory over ULM. He tallied 70 yards and a TD on 15 carries (4.7 ypg). In 2008, McGee carried the ball 88 times for 376 yards and four TDs, while making nine receptions for 49 yards. He opened the season against FAU by posting 63 yards and a TD on 12 carries (5.2 ypc). He added 58 yards on six carries (9.7 ypc) against No. 11 Missouri and 55 yards on 10 carries versus Baylor. McGee posted 75 carries for 325 yards (4.0 ypc) and eight TDs as a redshirt freshman in 2007. His eight TDs are tied for sixth alltime on UT’s freshman list. For his career, McGee has rushed for 743 yards and 13 TDs on 178 carries (4.2 ypc).

Cody Johnson: As a redshirt freshman in 2008, Johnson rushed 76 times for 338 yards and 12 TDs. His 12 TDs tied for first on UT’s freshman list with Cedric Benson. Johnson opened 2008 with a streak of seven straight games with a TD, which was snapped against No. 7 Oklahoma State. The streak is a UT freshman record and is tied for fourth on UT’s overall list. As UT’s goal-line specialist, Johnson converted 10 of his 12 carries inside the five into TDs, including three against No. 1 Oklahoma. Johnson posted the first 100-yard game of his career against Texas A&M with 102 yards and two TDs on eight carries (12.8 ypc). He opened the 2009 campaign with three rushing TDs against ULM and finished the game with 27 yards on 11 carries. Fozzy Whittaker: Whittaker spent the 2007 season gaining valuable experience on the scout team after finishing his prep career ranked sixth on the all-time Texas 5A rushing chart with 5,717 yards. After missing the 2008 season-opener against FAU with a knee injury, he saw his first action as a Longhorn at UTEP and rushed for 72 yards on 12 carries (6.0 ypc). He added 20 yards on two carries against No. 11 Missouri and 42 yards on six carries at No. 6 Texas Tech. Whittaker earned the first start of his career

against Baylor and rushed for 77 yards on 15 carries. On the season, Whittaker posted 284 yards on 64 carries. Whittaker missed the 2009 season opener against ULM with a knee injury. SPECIAL START: Redshirt freshman RB D.J. Monroe saw the first action of his career in the 2009 season opener against ULM and made the most of his opportunities. Monroe averaged 7.1 yards per carry after notching 64 yards on nine attempts. But, that wasn’t the most impressive part of his day. Midway through the second quarter, Monroe, who was the 2006 Texas 4A State 100-meter Champion, fielded a kickoff at his own 11-yard line, darted through a hole created by the key blocks of Tray Allen and Malcolm Williams and took it 89 yards to record the first touchdown of his career. Overall, Monroe posted 175 allpurpose yards on 11 plays (15.9 ypp). 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 moving on to the NFL over the previous three seasons, the Horns rushed for 167.5 ypg and tallied 475.8 ypg (ninth NCAA) in 2008. The pipeline to the NFL over the last four 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 Buffalo Bills. 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 played in 34 career games, starting 22, including all 20 of Arizona’s 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 AllBig 12 selection. This season, the Horns will have to make up for the loss of OG Cedric Dockery, who was a second-team All-Big 12 selection and played in 41 career games, starting 30. VETERAN FRONT: Texas’ offensive line, led by four returning starters, including three seniors, returns nearly intact in 2009. That foursome, which has combined to post 90 career starts, is led by a trio of seniors. LT Adam Ulatoski (31 starts) is in his fourth year as a starter while C Chris Hall (24 starts) and LG Charlie Tanner (20 starts) are in their third year as starters. The fourth returning starter on the line, junior RT Kyle Hix (15 starts) is a secondyear starter. Junior Michael Huey, who started three games in 2008, earned the start against ULM to open 2009. Ulatoski has played in 37 career games and is a twotime All-Big 12 selection. After playing right tackle during his first two seasons, he moved to left tackle in 2008 to fill the void caused by Tony Hills’ graduation. Hall (32 games) settled in at center for 2008 and started the first 10 games before missing the final two regular-season games with a knee injury. He returned to start the Fiesta Bowl. In 2007, he started at least one game at all five line positions. Tanner, who was tabbed honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2008, has seen action in 32 career games and is a three-time Academic All-Big 12 performer. Hix (27 games) has started the last 15 games at right tackle. He also saw action in all 13 games of 2007 and started at right tackle in UT’s Holiday Bowl victory over No. 12 Arizona State. Huey has played in all 27 games during his first two seasons, including 13 as a true freshman in 2007. LINE DEPTH: In addition to the five projected starters, Texas has a group of returnees that have combined to play in 74 games. Juniors OT Tray Allen (21 games), OT Britt Mitchell (26 games) and OG Steve Moore (13 games) will help solidfy the offensive line in 2009, while sophomore David Snow returns after playing in all 13 games as a true freshman. Snow started the last two games of the regular season at center against Kansas and Texas A&M, replacing an injured Chris Hall.

THE GO-TO GUY: Senior Chris Hall entered 2007 as the starting right guard, but the right-guard label was quickly changed to offensive lineman as the versatile Hall became the go-to-guy at all five line positions for a Longhorn line that battled injuries. Hall started the second game of 2007 against No. 19 TCU at left guard before moving in as the starter at right tackle for an injured Adam Ulatoski against UCF and Rice. Hall moved back to left guard against Kansas State, but was back filling injured Ulatoski’s shoes at right tackle for the Oklahoma game. Hall continued to plug holes along the offensive line by starting at left guard at Iowa State, right guard at Baylor and left guard against Nebraska before not starting against Oklahoma State due to his own injury. But, when Dallas Griffin sustained a season-ending knee injury in Stillwater, Hall slid over and played most of the game at center. He then started for Griffin at center against Texas Tech before moving to left tackle after Tony Hills sustained a season-ending leg injury. Then, Hall started at left tackle against Texas A&M, which meant he started at least one game at every offensive line position in 2007. In comparison, only three recent linemen have even started at the combination of center/guard or guard/tackle during a season. Justin Blalock started at right guard and right tackle (2006), Derrick Dockery started at right guard and right tackle (2002) and Dan Neil started at right guard and center (1993). ULI: Senior Adam Ulatoski has been a mainstay along the offensive line during his five-year career. After redshirting in 2005, Ulatoski has seen action in 37 of UT’s 40 games since 2006, including 31 starts. He earned a starting position at right tackle for the seventh game of 2006 and held that spot for the remainder of the season. In 2007, Ulatoski started nine games at right tackle before making the switch to left tackle for Texas’ Holiday Bowl victory over No. 12 Arizona State. He remained at left tackle for the 2008 season, when he started all 13 games. During his career, Ulatoski has earned two All-Big 12 honors, a first-team honor in 2008 and an honorable mention nod in 2007. In addition to his on-field skills, Ulatoski earned

his degree in corporate communications in December of 2008 and is now working towards a master’s degree in advertising. He has been recognized as an Academic All-Big 12 performer twice and has been a member of UT’s Athletics Director’s Honor Roll eight times. DEFENSIVE RETURNEES: The Longhorns’ defense returns six starters at four positions and 10 players with starting experience for the 2009 season. Texas’ 10 returnees with starting experience have combined for 112 career starts. The veteran group is led by five seniors in CB Deon Beasley, DT Lamarr Houston, LB Sergio Kindle, LB Roddrick Muckelroy and LB Jared Norton. Beasley has played in 33 games, making 11 starts (nine in 2008). Houston has seen action in 37 career games (20 starts) and started eight games at defensive tackle in 2008 after switching from defensive end prior to the season. Kindle, an honorable mention All-America selection in 2008, has played in 33 career games, making 12 starts. Muckelroy, a second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2008 and UT’s top returning tackler, has played in 29 career games (18 starts/13 in 2008). Norton has appeared in 38 career games and made eight starts. DT Ben Alexander (25 games) also will provide senior leadership for the unit in 2009. Juniors CB Chykie Brown and Curtis Brown and sophomores S Blake Gideon, S Earl Thomas and CB Aaron Williams also return with starting experience. Chykie Brown has played in 25 games, making nine starts, while Curtis Brown has played in 27 games and started five of the last seven. Gideon and Thomas have started all 14 games of their careers in the secondary, while Williams has seen action in 14 games, starting two. In addition, juniors DE Sam Acho (25 games/one start), LB Dustin Earnest (26 games) and DE Eddie Jones (25 games) and sophomores LB Emmanuel Acho (11 games), S Nolan Brewster (14 games), DT Kheeston Randall (nine games/ one start), LB Keenan Robinson (13 games/ one start), S Christian Scott (13 games) and S Ben Wells (13 games) return with game experience.

UT SEEKS TO REPLACE FIVE DEFENSIVE  STARTERS: The Longhorns will need to replace a group of five defensive starters, including the National Defensive Player of the Year and five All-Big 12 performers as they enter the 2009 season. The group combined to play in 247 games (121 starts). DE Brian Orakpo, who was named the Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Hendricks Award winner, anchored a defense that led the nation in sacks (47) and the Big 12 in scoring defense (18.8 ppg/18th NCAA), total defense (342.9 ypg) and rushing defense (83.5 ypg/third NCAA) in 2008. Orakpo played in 47 career games, starting 21, and posted 22 sacks (T-No. 10 on UT’s all-time list), 38 TFL and 62 pressures. His 11.5 sacks in 2008 ranked sixth nationally, while his 19 TFL tied for seventh. LB Rashad Bobino was a three-time All-Big 12 performer, who started on UT’s 2005 National Championship team. He played in 52 career games (45 starts) and finished his career with 235 tackles. DE Henry Melton, who earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors in 2008 just one year after switching over from running back, played in 49 career games (24 at defensive end/11 starts). DT Roy Miller, the 2008 Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP, played in 49 career games, starting 19, and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors last season. CB Ryan Palmer, who was a second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2008, played in 50 career games and made 25 starts. In addition, DL Aaron Lewis played in 45 games and made 15 starts at defensive end and defensive tackle during his career. PRESSURE AT A PREMIUM: Texas posted 47 sacks in 2008, which led the nation and was the most for UT during 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, but the Horns have been applying the pressure since Mack Brown’s second season. Since 1999, Texas ranks fourth nationally in sacks at 374 behind USC (383), Virginia Tech (378) and TCU (376). After finishing 2004 with 22 total sacks, the Longhorn defense improved to 34 sacks in ’05 and 39.5 sacks in ’06 before notching 28 sacks in ’07. In addition to the sacks, the 2008 Texas defense produced 100 TFL, 170 pressures and 129 hits on opponents’ quarterbacks. In 2009, Texas must replace the 11.5 sacks from National Defensive Player of the Year Brian Orakpo, who was taken with the 13th overall pick by the Washington

Redskins. In addition, the Horns will be without DT Roy Miller, who tallied 5.5 sacks and was picked in the third round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Henry Melton, who notched four sacks and was a fourth-round choice by the Chicago Bears. DE/LB Sergio Kindle is the leading returning sack artist after finishing second on the team in 2008 with 10 sacks, which tied for 20th nationally. The Horns have eight others returning that combined for 11.5 sacks, including three from junior DE Sam Acho. KINDLE TIME: While splitting time at LB and DE in 2008, senior Sergio Kindle posted 10 sacks en route to honorable mention All-America and first-team All-Big 12 honors. On the heels of that breakout year, Kindle elected to pass on early entry into the NFL Draft to return to Texas and spent the spring focusing on his pass rushing skills from the defensive end position. He’ll continue to work at both LB and DE in 2009, but with the departure of DEs Brian Orakpo and Henry Melton, will be counted on to be a focal part of Will Muschamp’s Longhorn defense. In UT’s season-opening win over ULM, Kindle notched three tackles, a PBU and two pressures. A member of the prestigious Playboy Preseason All-American team, Kindle played in all 13 games in 2008, starting 11. He finished second on the team in sacks with 10 (t-21st NCAA) and TFL with 14 to go along with 15 quarterback pressures. His 53 tackles ranked fifth on the team. Kindle was particularly effective during UT’s four-game stretch against Top 11 teams. He tallied 19 tackles, four sacks, one in each game, five TFL and six pressures. Kindle also finished the season strong, posting 3.5 sacks, six TFL and three pressures over the final three games. After playing in 11 games as a true freshman in 2006 and notching 21 tackles and three TFL, he appeared in eight games in 2007, posting 32 tackles, a half sack, four TFL, five pressures and a PBD. For his career, Kindle has played in 33 games (12

The duo has combined to notch 67 tackles, seven sacks, 13 TFL, 23 pressures, nine PBD and two fumble recoveries during their three seasons. Acho has seen action in 25 career games (one start) and tallied 30 tackles, 4.5 sacks, six TFL, 12 pressures, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and six PBD. In his first career start in UT’s 2009 season-opening victory, Acho posted four tackles, a pressure, two PBD and two fumble recoveries. Jones, who redshirted in 2006, has appeared in 25 career games and posted 37 tackles, 2.5 sacks, seven TFL, 12 pressures, an INT and three PBD. He opened 2009 with a tackle and a pressure versus ULM. MANNING THE MIDDLE: The defensive tackles unit has been a major reason why Texas’ rush defense has ranked in the Top Six nationally in each of the last three seasons. The Horns finished third in 2008 after allowing 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 three seasons, three 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. 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. NEXT UP AT DT: Next in line to carry on UT’s DT tradition is senior Lamarr Houston. After playing his first two seasons at defensive end, Houston made the switch to defensive tackle prior to the 2008 season. For his career, he has tallied 106 tackles, seven sacks, 22 TFL, 39 pressures, nine PBD and a forced fumble in 37 games (20 starts). Senior Ben Alexander also returns and has played in 25 career games. Sophomore Kheeston Randall, who saw action in eight games as a true freshman, earned the first start of his career against ULM to open 2009 and notched two tackles. HOUSTON’S SECOND YEAR INSIDE: Senior Lamarr Houston spent his first two seasons at Texas as a productive defensive end before making the switch to defensive tackle during the spring of 2008. He went on to post 22 tackles, 1.5 sacks, seven TFL, 11 pressures and five PBD in 12 games (eight starts) despite battling a foot injury for much of the season. Now in his second year at defensive tackle, Houston opened the 2009 campaign by posting four tackles, a TFL and two pressures against ULM. A former prep linebacker and running back, Houston was named honorable mention All-Big 12 by The Associated Press in 2007 at defensive end after tallying 66 tackles, 12 TFL, 4.5 sacks, 24 pressures, four PBD and a forced fumble. After opening the season as a backup, Houston replaced an injured Brian Orakpo in the week two starting lineup and posted six tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a PBD against No. 19 TCU. He went on to start 11 of the final 12 games. As a true freshman in 2006, Houston saw action at defensive end and on special teams and notched 14 tackles, two TFL and a sack. In total, Houston has posted 106 tackles, seven sacks, 22 TFL, 39 pressures, nine PBD and a forced fumble in 37 career games (20 starts).

DID YOU KNOW? Since Duane Akina arrived at Texas in 2001, eight of his nine starting cornerbacks have gone on to play in the NFL. Seven are currently active, while the other, Rod Babers, played for two years with the Detroit Lions. The group includes three firstround draft picks (Quentin Jammer, 2002; Michael Huff, 2006; Aaron Ross, 2007), two Thorpe Award winners (Michael Huff, 2006; Aaron Ross, 2007), a Thorpe Award finalist (Quentin Jammer, 2001), a Super Bowl Champion (Aaron Ross, 2007) and a Pro Bowler (Nathan Vasher, 2006).

SENIOR LINEBACKING TANDEM: The Longhorns return a pair of senior linebackers for 2009 in outside linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy and middle linebacker Jared Norton. The duo has combined to play in 68 games, making 26 starts, and posted 324 tackles (191 solo), 24 TFL, eight sacks, 12 pressures, two INTs, seven PBU, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Roddrick Muckelroy: Senior Roddrick Muckelroy has tallied 196 tackles (122 solo), 15 TFL, 3.5 sacks, seven pressures, an INT, five PBU, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 29 career games (18 starts). He has posted seven 10-tackle games during his career. Muckelroy opened the 2009 season by notching a team-high seven tackles to go along with two TFL, a pressure and a PBU. A second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2008, Muckelroy posted five 10-tackle games and led the team with 112 tackles (71 solo) to go along with four TFL, six pressures, four PBU, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. His 8.6 tackles per game ranked 50th nationally and fifth in the Big 12 and his 71 solo tackles tied for the 17th-most nationally. Muckelroy earned UT’s Most Productive Performer award at UTEP after posting 14 tackles and a pressure, while returning a fumble 26 yards for his first career TD. He set a career high with 16 tackles versus No. 1 Oklahoma to go along with a forced fumble and a PBU. As a redshirt freshman in 2006, Muckelroy earned a starting position and was off to a great start before an injury ended his year. He started the first three games of 2006,

posting 10 tackles, three TFL and a sack before sustaining a ruptured tendon in his ring finger, which forced him to miss the rest of the season. Back at full strength in 2007, Muckelroy posted 67 tackles, 2.5 sacks, six TFL, an INT, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He finished the year strong, tallying 29 tackles, 2.5 sacks, five TFL and two forced fumbles over the final four games, including the Holiday Bowl victory over No. 12 Arizona State, when he notched three tackles, a sack, two TFL and a forced fumble in his only start of the season. Jared Norton: During his 38-game career (eight starts), senior Jared Norton has posted 128 tackles (69 solo), nine TFL, 4.5 sacks, five pressures, an INT, two PBU, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He recorded six tackles in UT’s season-opening victory over ULM. In 2008, Norton finished fourth on the team with 54 tackles (34 solo) to go along with four TFL, 2.5 sacks, three pressures, two PBU and a forced fumble. His 2008 campaign was highlighted by a five-tackle, one-sack performance against No. 11 Missouri that came just before he posted a career-high nine stops against No. 7 Oklahoma State. In 12 games in 2007, Norton tallied 53 tackles, two sacks, four TFL, an INT and a forced fumble. He capped the year by earning the first start of his career in the Holiday Bowl victory against No. 12 Arizona State and posted four tackles, a TFL and a pressure. Norton also played in 12 games as a true freshman at linebacker and on special teams. He notched 15 tackles, a TFL, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. HALLSVILLE PRIDE: Longhorn senior WLB Roddrick Muckelroy may be a selfprofessed small town country kid from the East Texas town of Hallsville (population is about 3,000) but he made big plays on the field in 2008. Including a 14-tackle game in which he returned a fumble 26 yards for a TD at UTEP and a career-high 16 tackles versus No. 1 Oklahoma, Muckelroy led the Horns with 112 tackles (71 solo). His 8.6 tackles per game ranked 50th nationally and fifth in the Big 12 and his 71 solo tackles tied for the 17th-most nationally. Muckelroy has been UT’s most productive linebacker over

the past three seasons, but even more so over the last 16 games. During that stretch, Texas’ hard-hitting linebacker has posted 132 tackles (8.3 pg), 11 TFL, three sacks, five PBU, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. FAMILIAR FACES FOR A CHANGE: Entering the last two seasons, the Longhorn secondary has had to replace three of its four starters from the previous year. In 2008, the Horns had to replace first-team All-Big 12 performer S Marcus Griffin, second-team All-Big 12 honoree CB Brandon Foster and S Erick Jackson, who started 10 of 13 games, from the 2007 secondary. The year before, Texas needed to replace three players who are currently playing in the NFL in CB Tarell Brown (San Francisco 49ers), S Michael Griffin (Tennessee Titans) and CB Aaron Ross (New York Giants). Brown was a three-year starter, who played in 51 career games. Griffin earned first-team AllAmerica honors from Pro Football Weekly, was a semifinalist for the Lott Trophy (Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year) and finished his career as UT’s eighth alltime leading tackler (364 tackles). Ross was a Thorpe Award winner and first-team AllAmerican, who led the team in INTs (six) and PBU (19), while making 80 tackles, as a senior in 2006. In addition, the Horns secondary produced two NFL starters from its 2005 squad in Thorpe Award winner and seventh overall pick S Michael Huff and first-team All-Big 12 performer and second-round NFL Draft pick CB Cedric Griffin. But, in 2009, the secondary returns almost completely intact with the only loss coming in the form of DB Ryan Palmer, who was a two-year starter and secondteam All-Big 12 selection in 2008. The Horns have nine members of the secondary returning with game experience and six returning with starting experience including senior Deon Beasley (33 games/11 starts), juniors Chykie Brown (25 games/ nine starts) and Curtis Brown (27 games/ five starts) and sophomores Nolan Brewster (14 games), Blake Gideon (14 games/14 starts), Christian Scott (13 games), Earl Thomas (14 games/14 starts), Ben Wells (13 games) and Aaron Williams (14 games/ two starts).
