< Horns Favored Over Cougars by 30; Tech Game Set for 6 p.m. on Fox TV
<
< The Longhorns are 30-point favorites over the Houston Cougars for their 8

< p.m. game Saturday in Houston, but UT coach Mack Brown said Monday he
< anticipates a close game.
< Brown said the Cougars' only game, a 21-14 loss to Rice, is misleading
< because the Owls have their best defense in years. He said the Longhorns
< will
< need to be ready to play all out.
< He also said sophomore Ivan Williams will be the starting tailback and he

< said freshman Cedric Benson also will see early action at tailback. "Ivan

< deserves a chance to be the first one out there," Brown said. "He has
< played
< well for us this season."
< Brown said the Cougars will be the first of three straight all-out
passing
<
< teams the Horns will face this season. Texas' next game is the one
against
<
< Texas Tech and then comes the big Dallas shootout with defending national

< champion Oklahoma.
< The Texas-Texas Tech game in Austin September 29 has been set for a 6
< p.m.
< kickoff and will be nationally televised on Fox Sports Net. The game
< already
< is a sellout.

< One of the Longhorns' prize football commitments, DT Earl Anderson of San

< Marcos, has been suspended from the team for two games after he and a
< teammate - QB Jerry Montemayer - were arrested outside an Eckerd's Drug
< Store in San Marcos and charged with conspiring with two young female
< Eckerd
< cashiers to leave the store with merchandise they had not paid for.
Police
<
< said Anderson and Montemayor attempted to leave the store with unpaid
< merchandise valued at $274.89.
< The charge is a misdemeanor.
< San Marcos coach Bruce Bush said Montemayer has been dismissed from the
< team
< because it was his second violation of team rules, while Anderson drew a
< two-game suspension because it was his first violation.

< QB Billy Don Malone of Paris North Lamar completed 8 of 14 passes for 163

< yards and two touchdowns and also ran for 58 net yards to lead his team
to
< a
< 35-20 victory over West Mesquite Friday. Malone's two touchdown passes
< were
< for 28 and 32 yards. He has committed to Texas. He has 430 yards passing
< in
< his team's 1-1 season.
< When I asked him what he considers his strongest suit, Malone said he
< feels
< like he has a strong arm and quick feet, but he said his biggest asset
< "might
< be my vision. I'm lucky to have a coach who stresses the need to see the
< entire field, and I work hard at that. I try to look at as many of my
< receivers as possible before throwing the ball."
< RB Albert Hardy of Galena Park, the state's top running back and a top
< target
< of Longhorn recruiters, rushed for 278 yards and scored two touchdowns in
< a
< 21-0 romp past Crosby.
< Most of the top defensive ends in this year's recruiting class are more
< physical than fast, but two of the best speed rushers around are juniors
< who
< will headline next year's class of ends. They are Jarvis Moss, 6-5, 220,
< 4.5,
< of Class 4A power Denton Ryan, and Bruce Davis, 6-3, 230, 4.6, of Clear
< Creek, who is the son of a former Houston Oiler star. . . LB Ta Ta
< Thompson,
< 6-3, 225, 4.5, of Garland, is another junior star who will be a top
< national
< recruit . . . Another junior who is drawing a lot of attention is RB
< Richuel
< Massey, 5-10, 200, 4.5, of Hillsboro, who also is one of the state's top
< power lifters. He has the speed to run outside and the power to run
< inside. .
< . I saw another top junior Friday night in Lufkin. He is Terrance Parks,
a
<
< 6-4, 220-pounder with 4.5 speed who plays TE, WR and QB for the Panthers.
< He
< was chosen the Lufkin offensive MVP in the 33-17 loss to national
< powerhouse
< Shreveport Evangel.

< BASKETBALL RECRUITING: The Longhorns are in on five national top 50
< players,
< including 6-8 forward Brad Buckman of Austin Westlake and 5-11 combo
guard
<
< Bryan Hopkins of Dallas Lincoln. Other top prospects who are considering
< Texas are 6-4 shooting guard Rashad Anderson of Lakeland, Fla., 6-4
< shooting
< guard DeAngelo Alexander of Midwest City, Okla., and 6-4 wing Antonio
< Lawrence of Jacksonville, Fla. The Horns have good shots at Buckman and
< Hopkins, but they are long shots with the other three.
