> 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

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

> cashiers to leave the store with merchandise they had not paid for.
Police

> The charge is a misdemeanor.
> San Marcos coach Bruce Bush said Montemayer has been dismissed from the

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

to

> his team's 1-1 season.
> When I asked him what he considers his strongest suit, Malone said he
> feels

> RB Albert Hardy of Galena Park, the state's top running back and a top

> Most of the top defensive ends in this year's recruiting class are more

> 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. .

a

> 6-4, 220-pounder with 4.5 speed who plays TE, WR and QB for the Panthers.
