Seniors Honored The Longhorns honored their senior football players Saturday in their final game at Royal Memorial Stadium. QB Major Applewhite drew two tremendous ovations, one when he entered the game in the fourth quarter and another when he was relieved by redshirt freshman Chance Mock. Applewhite hold most UT passing records, but lost his starting job to Chris Simms after severe injuries to both knees limited his mobility. Nine senior starters - three on offense and six one defense - also were honored. The offensive senior starters are tackle Mike Williams, guard Antwan Kirk-Hughes and center Matt Anderson. The defensive senior starters are tackle Maurice Gordon, linebackers De'Andre Lewis, Everick Rawls and Tyrone Jones, cornerback Quentin Jammer and safety Ahmad Brooks. Other scholarship seniors include tight end Mike Jones, cornerback Ervis Hill, defensive ends Jermain Anderson and Marcus Wilkins and defensive tackle Corey Bradford. Senior walk-ons include defensive back Nathan Kaspar, wide receiver Marcus Walther, running back Kyle Hunt, offensive lineman Robbie Nethercutt and defensive ends Travis Slagle and Chris Stroup.

"They are right up there with the best teams we've played. They are extremely gifted defensively and they run well. They are without a doubt the best secondary we have played this season." - Kansas interim head coach Tom Hayes, who became acting head coach last Monday when Terry Allen was fired. The Jayhawks schedule has been voted the toughest in the country * * * * "I thought it was a great team game. The offense got 600 yards and the defense held the other team to 60. I wish they were all like that. Our kids played really hard and I'm proud of them." - Texas defensive coordinator Carl Reese * * * * "I'm just really pleased overall and I'm glad Cedric (Benson) finally had a long run so you will quit asking him about it." - UT offensive coordinator Greg Davis, who was picking up on a comment by Benson that he was glad to pop a long one so people would quit asking him what was wrong * * * * "As a kid, this is what you dream about. My dreams are falling into place. If I continue to work hard, 1,000 yards will come. I have a great offensive line, a great fullback, a great quarterback and great coaches. With all that, what can't be done?" - Longhorn RB Cedric Benson, talking about his chances of becoming the first UT freshman to rush for 1,000 yards * * * * "He's probably running full speed at three steps. He hits the line of scrimmage at full speed. He attacks the line of scrimmage and he usually falls forward. He's one of the quickest guys I've ever seen. I don't think it takes him long to go from zero to 60." - Texas running back coach Bruce Chambers, talking about Benson * * * * "We never gave up. I felt the offensive line played hard the whole game. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate into wins. Texas has an extremely talented defense and they came out and showed us exactly that today." - Kansas offensive tackle Justin Hartwig * * * * "He's the best I've ever gone against. Size, speed, he has it all. I've never seen a guy that big who can run that fast." - Kansas cornerback Andrew Davidson, talking about trying to cover Roy Williams * * * * "I thought that if we kept them from scoring for the rest of the first half, holding the score to 21-0, then maybe we could come back, but Texas kept making big plays and the next thing you know it was 59-0. Their skill players are unbelievable.." - Kansas defensive lineman Brock Teddleton Texas-Kansas Statistics Scoring Summary Texas 21 12 12 14 - 59 Kansas 0 0 0 0 - 0 UT -Benson 3 run (Mangum kick) 9:041Q (3 plays 69 yds) UT - R.

It's in College Station this year and it has an 11 a.m. kickoff and will be televised by ABC. In case you have forgotten, they had an early kickoff in College Station two years ago and the Longhorns, with a sick quarterback and two injured wide receivers, got beat, 20-16. There were some other factors, but suffice it to say the Longhorns won't stay in College Station the night before the game this year. Texas is 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the Big 12, while A&M is 7-3 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12. The Aggies have had offensive problems all year and the situation has mushroomed in the last two games when they were shut out by Texas Tech and then held to five first downs by Oklahoma in a 31-10 loss Saturday. Both teams have solid defenses, but UT has an edge in all four major defensive categories, as you can see in the statistical rankings below. But the Longhorns also have one of the nation's most potent offenses and that should negate the Aggies' home field advantage. To win this one, the Longhorns need to stay with their balanced offensive attack, connect on some big plays and, above all, don't turn the ball over and give the Aggies a short field. This Aggie team has had difficulty making drives, and hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in its last two games. It won't have much luck against the strong Longhorn defense. The keys here are simple: 1. Win the turnover battle. 2. Don't accept any food or drink from strangers. I'm usually a little more serious about trips to Collie Station, but this Aggie team's best offense is its defense, and that won't be enough on Nov. 23. If you followed the news about the melee in Lubbock after Tech's 12-0 victory over A&M, these two thoughts come to mind: 1. Only Aggies would go all the way to Lubbock to fight each other. 2. Only Aggies would sit in the stands at a hostile field and wait 30 minutes for the other team's fans to tear down the goal posts. Here's how the teams compare statistically (national rank in parenthesis): Texas ` Texas A&M Offense (38) 175.9 Rushing Avg. (86) 120.6 (33) 249.5 Passing Avg. (72) 199.2 (27) 425.4 Total Off. Avg.

The four inductees were: * Nell Fortner, a volleyball and basketball standout from 1977-81, who starred on UT's 1981 Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) national championship volleyball team and is a nationally-renowned basketball coach at the college, USA Basketball and WNBA levels.
