> Brown Says 3 or 4 Offensive Starters in Danger of Losing Their Jobs

> Coach Mack Brown said Tuesday three or four offensive starters have been

> they are in danger of losing their jobs unless they really show some
> improvement and some fire in practice this week.
> He declined to identify them, but he made it clear QB Chris Simms is not
> one
> of the starters he was referring to in his statement. I'm sure one of the

> guys who was warned was TB Ivan Williams, who ran pretty tentatively at
> times
> against Oklahoma, and it is safe to say a couple of offensive linemen
> probably got the warning, too.
> Brown said, "We told them we are going to make them compete this week to
> keep
> their starting jobs. We're going to watch them and grade them and we'll
> tell
> them on Friday if they are still starting. It all depends on their
> attitude
> and how they compete in practice this week. We've got to get better
> offensively and it starts with practice this week."
> The Longhorns are seeing a steady diet of zone pass coverages and that is

> happening everywhere. UT defensive coordinator Carl Reese is a strong
> advocate of man-for-man defense, but he is using mostly zone coverages
> this
> year because it helps eliminate the long touchdown passes. That's why
> everyone is using it.
> Brown said the Longhorns are going to have to run the ball better to be

said

> He also said freshman RB Cedric Benson, who did not carry the ball
against

> OU, will be used much more in the coming weeks.
> He said the Longhorns also are going to have to rely more on short passes

> RECRUITING NOTES:  DE Larry Dibbles of Lancaster, who says he had eight
> sacks
> in his most recent game to give him 14 for the season, says Texas and
> Oklahoma are his top two teams. He also said the fact that OU beat Texas
> won't be a factor in his decision. With an SAT score in the 1,200 range,
> he
> would feel a lot more at home at Texas than he would at OU. I like UT's
> chances with him. He is a great player who combines great size and
> strength
> with tremendous quickness. . . DT Marco Martin of Mesquite is having a

> year. He has always been a great prospect because he can run in the 4.7
> range
> while weighing over 300 pounds, but he has been inconsistent in the past.

> That's not the case this year because he is playing dominating football.
> He
