The Horns streak trails only Florida State s streak of 14 consecutive seasons in NCAA history. In addition, Texas posted 12-win seasons in back-to-back years for the first time in school history. Prior to Brown s arrival, the Horns had never before posted consecutive 11-win campaigns let alone consecutive 12-win seasons. Brown has led the Horns to six seasons with 11 or more wins. That compares to the four 11-win seasons (1963, 69, 77 and 83) in Texas history before Brown s arrival. NCAA Consecutive 10-Win Seasons 1. Florida State...14 ( ) 2. Texas...9 ( ) 3.

He has posted winning seasons in 21 out of the last 22 years and taken his teams to 19 bowl games in the last 20 seasons. His 21 winning seasons in the last 22 years is the best active streak in the nation and his 19 bowl games in the last 20 seasons is tied for the best active streak in the nation with Frank Beamer. REWRITE THE RECORD BOOK: During Mack Brown s 14-year tenure at Texas, the Horns have set 281 school records. The offense has led the way by setting 172 team, individual, game, season and career records. UT also has set 18 defensive records, 34 special teams records, 25 bowl game records and 32 freshman records. In addition, the Horns have set every major school attendance record during the Brown era. STRING OF SUCCESS: Texas has finished the year ranked among the nation s Top 15 in 10 of the last 11 seasons, which includes a string of 10 consecutive, which is a Longhorn best. In addition, UT has finished in the Top 10 in seven of the last 10 seasons (2001, 02, 04, 05, 07, 08 and 09) and in the Top Five in four of the last seven ( 04, 05, 08 and 09). 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 ( ), to equal that consistency in UT history. UT S BIG 12 SUCCESS AT HOME: Texas is 41-9 (.820) at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field versus league opponents during the Mack Brown era. The 41 home victories are the second-most by any team in the conference over the last 14 years. In addition, the Horns set the league record with a 26-game home winning streak over Big 12 opponents, which was snapped in Prior to 2006, the last time UT had lost a home game against a league foe was 1999 (35-17 to No. 13 Kansas State). BIG 12 ROAD SUCCESS: Texas has won 35 of its last 42 (.833) true Big 12 road games (not including neutral-site games), including a league-record 13 consecutive conference road wins from The Horns are 39-9 (.812) in league road contests under Mack Brown.

Following the 2008 season, Texas installed FieldTurf as its playing surface and permanent 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 college stadium 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. At the time, the scoreboard was 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 consistently being upgraded. Prior to 2009, 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. In the summer of 2011, the Longhorns locker room was renovated with completion in early August. It is all part of a $176.5 million renovation project at the stadium.

Texas made a field goal on the opening drive to give them points on the opening possession in two straight games. The next four drives of the first half all ended with touchdowns before they ran out the clock to end the first half. The first three drives of the second half all ended with touchdowns and then they ran out the final minute to end the game. UNDER 10 PASSES: Texas attempted only nine passes in its win over Texas Tech. It was the first time since 2003 that the Longhorns did not throw at least 10 passes in a game. Despite only throwing it nine times, Texas completed five throws for 156 yards, an average of 31.2 yards per completion. In 2003, Vince Young completed 5-of-8 throws for 97 yards and one touchdown in a win over Texas A&M. The Longhorns rushed for 393 yards in that game. 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 his staff have reversed that trend. Texas has ranked among the nation s top 25 in total defense in 10 of the last 13 seasons and was sixth in UT held Kansas to just 46 yards of total offense, including negative two rushing yards. Texas Tech was held to 30 rushing yards after entering the game with rushing yards per game. Kansas State only managed 121 yards of total offense with 38 rushing and 83 passing after averaging yards per game. Texas A&M entered the game ranked sixth nationally with yards of total offense per game and were top 20 in both passing (293.7) and rushing (218.6) but were held to 328 total yards with 104 on the ground and 224 through the air. Missouri was averaging 500 yards per game and almost 250 rushing yards per game but the Longhorns held them to 338 total yards and 152 yards on the ground. Although Oklahoma State finished with 420 yards of total offense, it was 157 yards below its season average. OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden was held to a season-low 218 passing yards after averaging 376 passing yards per game prior to facing Texas. UT held Oklahoma to 91.2 yards below their average rushing total per game, allowing just 86 net rushing yards. At Iowa State, the Longhorns held the Cyclones to more than 15 points below its scoring average while limiting them to just 4-of-15 on third down conversions. At UCLA, Texas held the Bruins to 317 total yards, including 141 rushing yards to an offense that entered the game averaging yards. Against BYU, the Longhorns allowed only 235 total yards, including only 43 on the ground. In the season-opener against Rice, the Longhorns kept the Owls out of the end zone, marking the first time since the 2009 Big 12 Championship Game vs. Nebraska that Texas has held an opponent without a TD. Rice was limited to just 94 passing yards and 224 yards of total offense. STINGY SCORING D: During the last four seasons at Texas, the Longhorn defense has held 42-of-50 opponents (84.0%) under their season scoring averages. Against Kansas the Longhorns did not allow a single point after the Jayhawks entered the game averaging 30.1 points per game. Texas A&M was averaging 40 points per game but only managed 25 points against the Longhorns. Texas Tech added a late touchdown to give them 20 points, falling 18.9 points shy of its season scoring average. Missouri and Kansas State each only scored 17 points on the UT defense, half of their season averages. The Texas defense held Oklahoma State to over 13 points below its season average of 51.4 points per game. The Longhorns have limited 22 teams to 14 points or less in the last four years, including Rice in the 2011 season Texas Football Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl 13

NCAA Offensive Touchdowns Allowed Since Miami Virginia Tech Oklahoma Texas Florida State STANDING UP AGAINST THE BEST: Texas No. 14 national ranking in total defense (315.3 ypg) is even more impressive when you look at how the Longhorns accomplished that. UT has earned its position against many of the nation s elite offenses, having faced six teams that currently rank among the nation s Top 15, including three of the top four. No other school that ranks among the Top 15 in total defense has faced more than two Top 15 offense. Take a look: NCAA (Def. YPG)... vs. Top 15 offense 1.

LEADING THE BIG 12 ON DEFENSE LEADING THE BIG 12: The Texas defense leads the Big 12 in total defense and rushing defense this season. The Longhorns have led the conference in total defense for three straight years and are looking to accomplish the feat for the fourth straight season and sixth time in conference history. UT has led the league in rushing defense in four of the last five years and six times since Texas also led the conference in pass efficiency defense in 2000 and 2005 and and in scoring defense for the 2001, 2005 and 2008 seasons.

At Iowa State, UT held the Cyclones scoreless for the first three quarters of action. It marked the second straight game they did not allow a point in the first quarter. It was also the first time they had shut out an opponent in the first half since leading Baylor 40-0 at halftime in 2009, a streak of 21 games. The 34-point differential for a first half at Iowa State was the most since that Baylor game. UT has been strongest at the end of games, not allowing a point in the fourth quarter in any of the first three games and in seven of the 12 overall contests. YARD MARKS: Texas has faced six teams currently ranked among the top 15 nationally in total offense. The Longhorns have held every one of those teams below their season average.

The Longhorns only allowed 30 yards in the final period versus Oklahoma and 35 yards in the fourth quarter versus Oklahoma State, two of the nation s top offensive teams. FAST STARTS: Texas has only allowed four touchdowns in the first quarter this season and just 52 first quarter points in the first 12 games. UT allowed zero points at UCLA, at Iowa State, vs. Kansas and at Missouri. One reason for the success is forcing turnovers as the Longhorns have caused eight total turnovers in the first quarter this year, including three each versus UCLA and Iowa State. Texas had three interceptions against the Bruins and followed with two fumble recoveries and an interception against the Cyclones. DEFENSE STREAK: The Longhorns held a streak of seven consecutive quarters without a touchdown allowed beginning with the fourth quarter of the Oklahoma State game and ending when Texas Tech scored a touchdown in the third quarter. SCORING DEFENSE: Texas defense has been a scoring machine since During that time, the defense has accounted for 298 points and scored in 42 of the 167 games (25.1%). The Longhorns have one touchdown and three safeties in 2011 for 12 total points. Carrington Byndom returned an interception 58 yards for a touchdown at Texas A&M. The three safeties came in a span of four games as UT posted two points against Oklahoma State, Kansas and Missouri. UT posted four TDs and a safety in 2009 for 30 points. The Horns defense has scored at least three TDs in 10 of the last 12 seasons, led by seven TDs scored in That defense tallied 46 points, which is the most over the 12-year stretch. The 2003 unit scored six TDs, while the 2006 unit scored five TDs. THREE SAFETIES: Texas tallied a safety in back-to-back games against Oklahoma State and Kansas, marking the first time since 1982 that they have had two straight games with a safety. The Longhorns had a safety in a span of three of four games. In 1982, the Longhorns did it against Texas A&M (Nov. 25) and Arkansas (Dec. 4). This season the Longhorns had a safety against Oklahoma State when Alex Okafor caused the quarterback to step out of the back of the end zone. Keenan Robinson was awarded with the safety on the stop against Kansas. Texas Leroy Scott blocked a punt out of the back of the end zone for a safety at Missouri. The last time UT posted three safeties in one season was 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 14 seasons at Texas, they have turned that around dramatically. The Horns have limited 71 of their last 138 opponents (51.4%) to fewer than 100 yards rushing and allowed just thirty-nine 100-yard rushers in the last 165 games (23.6%). The Horns have been ranked in the top six in rush defense in four of the last six seasons, including a No. 1 national ranking in 2009 (72.4 ypg). During that span (77 games), UT has held opponents to just 91.1 yards per game (7,015 yards on 2,435 carries) and just 2.89 yards per carry. In addition, at home over the last seven seasons (39 games), Texas has only allowed 13 teams to break the 100-yard plateau and has only allowed nine individual 100-yard rushers. In true road games over the last five seasons (25 games), Texas has allowed only 14 teams to reach 100 yards rushing and just six individual 100-yard rushers. Texas has held its opponent under 50 yards rushing 45 times during the Mack Brown era. STOPPING THE RUN: The Longhorns currently rank 11th in the nation in rushing defense, giving up ypg. The top game this season came against Kansas when the Longhorns held Kansas to negative two yards rushing on 20 carries. The Jayhawks averaged 188 rushing yards per game coming into the contest. KU had negative one rushing yard in the second quarter, minus nine rushing yards in the third quarter and just one yard in the fourth period.

RECENT O-LINE SUCCESS: The Texas offensive line has been one of the nation s steadiest units over the past five seasons and that has been reflected in their presence in the NFL. The pipeline over the last five 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 Pittsburgh Steelers. 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 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 started in all 20 games of the Cardinals 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 ning off 19 straight points to win, After falling behind 17-3 early in the third quarter, Texas produced 336 total yards and 25 points in the second half to help seal the victory. at TEXAS TECH (2006): After trailing Texas Tech, 21-0, in the first quarter, the Horns closed the gap to at halftime and entering the fourth quarter, before going on to win at NO. 4 OHIO STATE (2005): The Horns trailed the Buckeyes, 22-16, entering the final quarter, but Vince Young connected with Limas Sweed for a 24-yard TD with 2:37 remaining to give Texas a lead.

In 1995, Phil Dawson s 50-yard field goal as time expired led Texas to a win over No. 14 Virginia. In 1999, Kris Stockton s 18-yard field goal on the final play helped No. 12 Texas escape Iowa State with a win. In the 2005 Rose Bowl, Dusty Mangum made a 37-yard field goal to give Texas a win over Michigan.

TUCKER ON LISTS: Tucker ranks among some of the top kickers in school history in both season and career categories.

Senior PK Justin Tucker joined the group after qualifying with his 25th attempt against Florida Atlantic in His 23 made FGs were sixth nationally in 2010 and were second on the UT single-season list, trailing only Hunter Lawrence (24, 2009), while his.852 percentage ranked third on the single-season list. Following his 40-yard game winner against Texas A&M this season, he was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. BLOCK THAT KICK: The Texas special teams have been just that since Mack Brown took over in Since then, Texas has blocked 76 kicks (46 punts/17 FGs/13 PATs), an average of 5.4 per season. That is 51 more than the 25 recorded in the 13-year span prior to Brown s arrival. UT has blocked the second-most kicks in the nation since 2002 with 54 behind Fresno St. (63). At Iowa State, Texas got its first blocked kick of 2011 when Mykkele Thompson blocked a punt in the second quarter. The ball was picked up by Josh Turner, who took it 34 yards for a touchdown, marking the first punt block return for a touchdown since 2009 when Malcolm Williams fell on a blocked punt in the end zone for a score at Missouri. Leroy Scott gave Texas its second blocked punt of 2011 at Missouri resulting in a safety as the ball traveled out of the back of the end zone. Since Brown arrived, the Horns have had players set or equal UT records for career blocked kicks, singleseason blocked kicks, career blocked punts and single-season blocked punts. NCAA Blocked Kicks Since Fresno State Texas Rutgers Florida Louisiana-Lafayette...47 RETURN GAME: Texas has improved its kick returning and defending on kickoffs and punts since Mack Brown arrived. Since 1998, the Horns have produced 11 of UT s 28 all-time punt returns for TDs and nine of the 16 kickoff returns for TDs. In contrast, UT has only given up four punt return TDs during the Mack Brown era. 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 During that time, Texas scored on four punt returns, while its opponents scored on seven returns. When Brown arrived in 1998, Texas hadn t returned a kickoff for a score since Then, in the 2000 Holiday Bowl, Victor Ike returned a kickoff 93 yards for a TD, snapping the 265-game streak. That return was the first of eight under Mack Brown. This season Fozzy Whittaker matched a school record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Oklahoma and then in the next game had another 100-yard return for a touchdown versus Oklahoma State. LONGHORNS IN THE NFL: Texas 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 47 players on NFL rosters, which is the most nationally. Of the 47 Longhorns, 36 have started games during their NFL careers, including 29 who started as rookies. Among that group of 47, nine have earned a spot in a Pro Bowl and eight have participated in a Super Bowl with five coming away as Super Bowl Champions. The group also represents a wide array of positions with at least three NFL Longhorns in each position group except for special teams positions. The defensive backs (10), defensive line (9) and offensive line (7) lead the way and are all in the Top Five in the nation. In addition, Texas leads the Big 12 in Top 10 picks, Top 30 picks, Top 100 picks and Top 150 picks in the NFL Draft over the last 10 years. UT also has the most Top Five and second-most Top 10 picks in the NFL Draft since The Horns eight Top 10 picks are one behind USC and their six Top Five picks lead LSU, which has four.

48 Mack Brown Head Coach Mack Brown is in his 14th season as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. With a mark at Texas of (.782), the 2008 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year and the 2009 Big 12 Coach of the Year has elevated the Longhorns program to new heights. The 2005 Paul W. Bear Bryant National Coach of the Year award winner, and coach of the 2005 BCS National Champions, Brown is one of a handful of coaches in the history of college football to lead two separate programs to a Top Five national finish. A member of the Longhorn Hall of Honor, Brown is the only the second coach in UT history to reach the 100-win plateau at Texas, joining Darrell Royal. He also is one of only five active coaches at NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools who have won 100 games at their current school. Of the 69 coaches that have ever won 100 games at the same FBS school, Brown is the 12th fastest to reach the century mark (124 games) and the fourth-fastest among active coaches. In 2008, he reached 200 career victories, making him just the 19th coach who has spent at least 10 years at an FBS school to do so. Brown s fundamental football philosophy is basic. It is built on a rock-solid, attacking defense and a pro-style offense combined with a team-first family philosophy. His one heartbeat belief of developing talent and leadership within a family atmosphere has established a consistency of success matched by few. The only team in the nation to record at least 10 wins in nine straight seasons prior to 2010, a string that is the second-longest streak in NCAA history, Brown s squad has been the best in the country during the first decade of the 21st century. In that time, his Longhorns won seven of nine bowl games, including a stretch of five straight for the first time in school history, and recorded at least 11 victories on six occasions. In addition, they finished in the nation s Top Six six times since 2000 and in the Top 10 seven of the last 11 seasons. Texas is also the only team in the country to post nine or more victories in 14 out of the past 16 seasons. But excellence and consistency are nothing new to the coaching veteran of 39 years, including 28 as a head coach. Establishing stability has been a trademark of Brown s career, highlighted by his success at North Carolina and Texas. He rebuilt UNC after a series of disappointing seasons and turned it into a nationally-elite program. At Texas, he has taken a program that had suffered through six non-winning (five losing) seasons in the 12 years prior to his arrival, including a 4-7 record in 1997, and led it to the 2005 National Championship, another BCS Championship Game appearance in 2009 and three BCS Bowl victories. Brown s squads have registered nine-plus victory seasons in 14 out of the past 16 years, winning seasons in 21 out of the past 22 seasons and 19 bowl games in the past 20 seasons. He also has guided his squads to national Top 25 finishes in 14 out of the past 16 seasons, which includes 13 Top 15 rankings. Brown stands alone as the only coach in NCAA Division I-A with nine-plus wins in 14 out of the past 16 seasons. His 21 winning seasons in the last 22 years is the longest active streak in the nation and his 19 bowl games in the last 20 seasons is tied for the longest active streak in the nation. His 160 wins in the last 16 years are the most nationally as are his 207 victories since Fresh off a season that saw North Carolina finish 11-1 and fourth nationally (USA Today/CNN), Brown was hired as the 28th head coach in the storied history of Texas football on Dec. 4, He immediately developed a plan of attack, hiring a staff of veteran coaches who had familiarity with the Southwest. Brown has worked to keep the foundation of that group intact and linked tradition with winning, education and entertainment. From his first season, he steadily has restored pride in one of college football s most historic programs and put the swagger back in being a Longhorn. Brown has brought enthusiasm back to the UT program while wowing everyone from recruits to supporters and alumni. His down-home wit and wisdom are Mack Brown is the only active coach in NCAA Division I-A who has led his teams to nine or more wins in 15 of the last 16 seasons. clearly energetic, thoughtful, engaging and enthusiastic. That passion has helped the Longhorns sign some of the nation s finest recruiting classes year in and year out, while raising the enthusiasm and support for Texas football to an all-time high. Beginning with an eight-city speaking tour of Texas in 1998 which turned into a revival as thousands of fans poured into crowded rooms to hear him speak Brown rapidly invigorated the mood and spirit of the UT faithful and hasn t missed a beat since. Brown reunited the Longhorns lettermen, welcoming any and all to practices and began a lettermen s reunion and golf tournament that has grown immensely each spring. Thousands of former lettermen and their families return to campus for the annual UT Spring Jamboree that Brown has turned into a weekend event in Austin. The Jamboree features a lettermen s golf outing and reunion to go along with pregame festivities and the Orange-White scrimmage. The weekend has set attendance records each year, topping out at 44,250 in Brown also has added a Fan Appreciation Day in the fall. Mack has helped bring back the pride in Texas Football, former Longhorns All-American and NFL great Tommy Nobis said. Tradition is what makes the college game so exciting, and Mack is doing a great job getting everyone excited about wearing the burnt orange and white and being a Longhorn again. Brown also quickly built two other important bridges one with legendary former head coach Darrell Royal and the other with the important constituency of 2008 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year COACHING CONSISTENCY Coaches with 21 Winning Seasons IN THE LAST 22 YEARS MACK BROWN TEXAS/NORTH CAROLINA Frank Beamer Virginia Tech Coaches with 19 bowl appearances IN THE LAST 20 YEARS MACK BROWN TEXAS/NORTH CAROLINA Frank Beamer Virginia Tech COACHING CONSISTENCY NCAA Division I-A head coaches with at least nine victories in 14 of last 15 completed seasons HEAD Coach (Schools) Total (PCT.)

With all of the great things he has done in public relations, what people have learned is that he can coach, too. He is a dedicated football man and has assembled an outstanding staff. Together, they organize all the facets of the job. Talk about not leaving a stone unturned he turned over every rock as fast as he could. A major state official in North Carolina told one of our top people Mack could be elected governor, and he wasn t kidding. Mack is that strong with people. The union with Royal, whom Brown idolized as a young player in high school, has been a meaningful relationship for both men. Royal regularly participates in team events and has access to an office Brown had built for him in the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletics Complex. Mack s like the Darrell Royal of the 21st century, UT All-American and 2002 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Sisemore said. He s hard-working and has a great concern for his athletes. The coaches and players work hard and support one another and that s exactly how Coach Royal ran things. Mack s the real deal and it s been fun to watch him build the program. An enthusiastic supporter of tradition, Brown is just as passionate in his appreciation of high school coaches, a group he treats with the utmost respect. The gregarious coach has engaged the proud Texas high school coaching community. Brown invites every high school staff to visit UT practices and rapidly built powerful bonds in that community. UT s high school coaches clinic has gone from a couple hundred coaches prior to his arrival to more than a thousand and become one of the state s most popular spring events. I have never seen anyone make friends better or quicker with the high school coaching community, said Eddie Joseph, former executive VP of the Texas High School Coaches Association. Mack is amazing. He has the ability to make everyone feel at ease around him and makes the coaches from junior high on up feel comfortable. I think the thing that makes him so great for the coaches to work with is that he has a passion for high school coaches. He has a great deal of respect for the coaches. With his team, the message was clear from the first meeting on the evening of Dec. 4, He did not believe in rebuilding. He believed in winning. The standard was simple. He expected that, together, he and the team would have fun. He expected that, together, he and the team would do things the right way. He expected that, together, he and the team would win. Each year, Brown has built on that foundation while accomplishing feats not seen in Austin in decades. Brown s 12 consecutive seasons of at least nine wins are a UT first, as are his three back-to-back 11-win campaigns ( , , ), nine 10-victory seasons in a row, and three 12-win seasons (2005, 08, 09). Texas has also set a school record with a streak of 12 straight bowl berths in Brown s time, bettering the nine straight bowl games from UT has produced a streak of Top 25 finishes for 12 years in a row, a first since the Horns earned eight final Top 25 rankings in a row from The Longhorns also created a streak of 10 straight Top 13 finishes, which is a UT record. The Horns have claimed or shared the Big 12 South Division title in six of the last 14 years, including four conference championship game berths and two Big 12 titles. In 14 seasons, Brown s Longhorns squads have featured a Heisman Trophy winner, two runners-up and a third-place finisher, three Maxwell Award winners, three WCFF Player of the Year Award winners, two Doak Walker Award winners, two Thorpe Award winners, two Nagurski Trophy winners, two O Brien Award winners a Butkus Award winner, a Lombardi Award winner, two Manning Award winners, a Hendricks Award winner, two Draddy/Campbell Trophy winners, 52 All-Americans, 69 first-team All-Big 12 selections, five Big 12 Offensive Players of the Year, five Big 12 Defensive Players of the Year and 12 Big 12 Freshman of the Year honorees. During that time, UT has established one of the nation s premier offensive attacks, while rejuvenating a once struggling Longhorns defense into one of the MACK BROWN AT-A-GLANCE Hometown Cookeville, Tenn.

Mack Brown joined John Robinson (USC) and Dan McCarney (Iowa State) as the only head coaches in NCAA Division I-A history who in the same season coached a 3,000-yard passer (Colt McCoy / Vince Young 2005 / Chris Simms, 2002 / Major Applewhite, 1999), 2,000-yard rusher (Ricky Williams, 1998) and 1,000-yard receiver (Roy Williams, 2002, 2003 / Kwame Cavil, 1999 / Wane McGarity, 1998). nation s best. Defensively, Brown has transformed a unit that ranked 85th nationally in total defense in 1997 into a group that led the nation in total defense (236.2 ypg) and led the Big 12 in rushing (89.5 ypg), passing (146.7 ypg) and scoring (13.7 ppg) defense in That came on the heels of a pair of seasons that saw UT rank sixth nationally in total defense (286.7 ypg) in 1999 and seventh (278.3 ypg) in The 2008 defense also led the Big 12 in total defense, scoring defense and rushing defense (third NCAA), while the 2009 unit led the nation in rushing defense (72.4 ypg) and was third in total defense (251.9/first Big 12). Texas has led the Big 12 in scoring defense three times, in total defense six times and four straight years and rushing defense seven times and five of the last six seasons. The aggressive defensive style of the Brown era has seen the Horns significantly increase their production in sacks, tackles for loss and turnovers forced in the last 14 seasons. In 2008, Texas led the nation in sacks and then tied for second in 2009, a year it also led the nation in turnovers gained and interceptions. On offense, the Longhorns have set 136 school records and featured the school s only 3,000-yard passers (Colt McCoy, 2007, 08, 09/Vince Young, 2005/Chris Simms, 2002/Major Applewhite, 1999), 2,000-yard rusher (Ricky Williams, 1998), 1,000- yard receivers (Quan Cosby, 2008/Jordan Shipley, 2008, 09/Roy Williams, 2002, 03/ Kwame Cavil, 1999/ Wane McGarity, 1998) and 1,000-yard passer/rusher (Vince Young, 2004 and 05) in a season. In 2008, Cosby and Shipley combined to become the first duo in school history and just the 11th in NCAA history to each have 85-plus catches and 1,000-plus receiving yards in the same season. UT became just the second team in NCAA Division I-A In 14 seasons under Mack Brown, Texas has 4 Won its first National Championship since Won three BCS bowls and appeared in two National Championship Games 4 Posted 12 consecutive seasons of at least nine wins at UT for the first time in school history 4 Recorded at least 10 wins for nine straight seasons (second-longest streak in NCAA history) 4 Established itself as the only team nationally to win at least nine games from Earned or shared six Big 12 South Division titles and won two conference titles 4 Posted 10 straight Top 13 finishes for the first time in UT history 4 Featured a Heisman Trophy winner, 52 All-Americans, 68 first-team All-Big 12 selections, five Big 12 Defensive Players of the Year, five Big 12 Offensive Players of the Year and 11 Big 12 Freshman of the Year honorees 4 Featured the only 3,000-yard passers, 2,000-yard rusher, 1,000-yard receivers and 1,000-yard passer/rusher in same season in school history history to boast a 2,000-yard rusher and passer as well as a 1,000-yard receiver in In his career at Texas alone, Brown became one of just three head coaches in NCAA Division I-A history to lead a player to a 3,000-yard passing season, a 2,000-yard rushing season and a 1,000- yard receiving season. Texas also has re-established its home field advantage and, as a result, dominance under Brown. In his 14 seasons, the Longhorns have increased their season ticket sales by nearly 45,000, up to a school-best 84,071 in 2010, and set school attendance records while playing in front of sellout crowds in 69 of the last 72 home games and have attracted the top 10 crowds in UT history. With a full house on hand the past 14 seasons, UT has gone in games at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, including a 41-9 mark in Big 12 home games. At one point, UT had a streak of 21 consecutive victories (third-longest in UT history) and the longest for UT since it won 42 straight from (No. 6 in NCAA history). The Longhorns also set the marks for the Big 12 s longest intraconference winning streak (21 games) and the longest intraconference road winning streak (13). Texas has lost only 12 road games in Mack Brown s 14-year tenure with two of them coming in his first three games Mack s like the Darrell Royal of the 21st century. He s hard-working and has great concern for his athletes. The coaches and players work hard and support one another and that s exactly how Coach Royal ran things. Jerry Sisemore, former UT All-American and NFL All-Pro offensive tackle NCAA S WINNINGEST COACHES last 16 years 1. Mack Brown, Texas/N. Carolina Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech at UT. The Longhorns have won 47 of their last 54 true road games. The only losses during that stretch were a shootout at Texas Tech in 2002, a defeat at Kansas State in 2006, a loss at Texas A&M in 2007, a loss with one second remaining at No. 7 Texas Tech in 2008, a loss to KSU in 2010, a 17-5 defeat at Missouri in 2011 and a setback at Baylor to end the 2011 regular season. The Horns set a UT-record streak with 17 consecutive road wins before falling to Kansas State in UT also won 12 consecutive road games from Texas is (.813) overall on the road and 44-7 (.863) versus unranked road foes during the Mack Brown era. In fact, UT is currently riding a school-record non-conference road winning streak of 12, which betters the previous mark of seven from Texas has won 35 of its last 42 Big 12 Conference road games, including a league-record 13 consecutive conference road wins from The Horns are 39-9 (.813) in league road contests under Mack Brown. Brown s on-the-field success has had an impact on the student-athletes future opportunities as well. As of the 2011 NFL Draft, two of his Longhorns have been selected in the first round in six of the past 11 drafts. When OT Mike Williams (Buffalo Bills) and CB Quentin Jammer (San Diego Chargers) were selected fourth and fifth, respectively, in 2002, it marked the first time in UT history that two Longhorns were chosen among the first five overall picks. Brown s Longhorns featured a pair of first-round picks in 2004 when Roy Williams (seventh pick) was taken by the Detroit Lions and Marcus Tubbs was selected by the Seattle Seahawks (23rd pick). The 2005 NFL Draft had Longhorns Cedric Benson (fourth pick) and Derrick Johnson (15th pick) in the first round. In the 2006 NFL Draft, Vince Young (third pick) and Michael Huff (seventh pick) were both first-round choices, and in 2007, Michael Griffin (19th pick) and Aaron Ross (20th pick) were selected in the opening round. UT had four players selected in the first two rounds of the 2007 Draft with Justin Blalock and Tim Crowder chosen in the second round following Griffin and Ross. That marked the most Longhorns chosen in the first two rounds since Three members of his 1997 Carolina squad were picked in the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft, which tied for the most of any collegiate program. In the 27 drafts during Brown s time as a head coach, the NFL has picked 102 of his student-athletes, and he has had a player selected in 26 straight drafts. He has had 19 players (15 from UT/four from UNC) selected in the first round in the last 14 drafts. Over the past 14 years, Brown has had 65 players selected in the draft with 51 (78.5%) of those coming in the first four rounds. With all of the success on the field, the primary emphasis has remained the same with Brown s squads maintaining a high level of achievement in the classroom and in the community. Eighty percent of his players at North Carolina received their degrees and he has increased the pace at Texas, while more than a third of his players at Texas have regularly earned 3.0 grade point averages and achieved spots on the Big 12 Commissioner s and Athletics Director s honor rolls. Over the last six years, the success in the classroom has reached an all-time high. The Longhorns have led the Big 12 in academic all-conference selections in five of the last six seasons, and in three of those have had equal or more first-team selections than all but two Big 12 schools have had total selections. In 2010, DE Sam Acho became Texas second winner of the Campbell Trophy, which has been likened to an academic Heisman. Acho also became the seventh Longhorns to be named two-time first-team Academic All-America. Texas registered two first-team academic All- America honorees in Acho and OT Adam Ulatoski in 2009, after having also done so in 2007 with C Dallas Griffin and DT Derek Lokey. Griffin went on to earn UT s first Campbell Trophy, which at the time was named the Draddy Trophy. QB Colt McCoy was a finalist for that award in 2009 and recognized as a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, as were Griffin and Acho. In 2008, RB Chris Ogbonnaya also earned second-team academic All-America honors. Alongside academics, Brown s life skills program features numerous seminars to prepare student-athletes for life after football, while Longhorns players make countless visits to area children s hospitals and serve as tutors and mentors at schools across Austin. Never has that been as evident as last season with Acho, who was named the 2010 Wuerffel Trophy winner for all-around excellence, and the 2010 ARA Sportsmanship Award winner, along with being selected as a member of the AFCA Good Works Team. On the field, Brown has led the Longhorns to one of the best records in the nation during his tenure, posting a mark (.782) over 14 seasons. Despite an offense filled mostly with freshmen and sophomore starters, Brown took the 2011 team to a 7-5 regular season record with the defense leading the Big 12 in total defense, pass defense and rush defense. DE Alex Okafor earned All-America honors from the AFCA, Quandre Diggs was the Coaches Big 12 Freshman Defensive Player of the Year and a CBSSports.com Freshman All-American and Malcolm Brown was selected the Associated Press Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Despite a difficult 5-7 season in 2010, Texas still ranked sixth in the nation in total defense (300.2 ypg) and pass defense (161.6 ypg) last year, while Acho, in addition to winning the Campbell Trophy, Wuerffel Trophy and ARA Sportsmanship Award, was also named second-team All- America by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and third-team All-America by the Associated Press. He was also named CFPA Defensive Lineman of the Year, was a finalist for the Lott Trophy, a semifinalist for the Lombardi Award and was a unanimous first-team All-Big 12 coaching success MACK BROWN S ALL-AMERICANS Texas players in bold First-Team All-Americans DE Alex Okafor 2011 C Chris Hall 2009 DE Sergio Kindle 2009 WR Jordan Shipley 2009 s earl Thomas 2009 QB Colt McCoy 2008, 09 DE Brian Orakpo 2008 OT Tony Hills 2007 OL Justin Blalock 2006 CB Aaron Ross 2006 S Michael Huff 2005 OT Jonathan Scott 2005 DT Rodrique Wright 2005 QB Vince Young 2005 RB Cedric Benson 2004 LB Derrick Johnson 2003, 04 OL Derrick Dockery 2002 DE Cory Redding 2002 CB Quentin Jammer 2001 OT Mike Williams 2001 OT Leonard Davis 2000 DT Casey Hampton 1999, 2000 OG Ben Adams 1998 OT Jay Humphrey 1998 RB Ricky Williams 1998 CB Dré Bly 1996, 97 DE Greg Ellis 1997 LB Brian Simmons 1997 DT Marcus Jones 1995 FS Bracey Walker 1993 Freshman All-Americans OT Josh Cochran 2011 CB Quandre Diggs 2011 s earl Thomas 2008 TE Jermichael Finley 2006 QB Colt McCoy 2006 OT Adam Ulatoski 2006 LB Rashad Bobino 2005 DE Brian Orakpo 2005 DT Frank Okam 2004 OT Justin Blalock 2003 DE Tim Crowder 2003 DT Rodrique Wright 2002 DB Michael Huff 2002 RB Cedric Benson 2001 LB Derrick Johnson 2001 PK Dusty Mangum 2001 WR B.J.

50 Mack Brown Head Coach Mack has done a great job recruiting with the high school coaches, with the people on campus and the Longhorns lettermen. They are very proud that Mack Brown is the coach here, and for them to be in full support of his coaching abilities, is a tribute to him. I feel exactly the same way because he has done a marvelous job and the best is yet to come. Spike Dykes, former UT assistant coach and the winningest head coach in Texas Tech history selection. In addition to Acho, junior LB Keenan Robinson was a semifinalist for the Butkus Award. Brown guided the 2009 Longhorns to Texas second National Championship Game appearance in five years and also matched the school record of 13 wins. The lone loss came in the title game to No. 1 Alabama after QB Colt McCoy was injured on the first series and did not return. Despite the loss of the national player of the year, Texas was within three points with the ball with just over three minutes remaining, and following the game, the polls kept the Longhorns ranked No. 2 their fourth Top Five ranking in six years. They also completed their ninth-consecutive 10-win season, which is the second-longest streak in NCAA history. The Texas offense ranked third in scoring (39.3 ppg) and 22nd in passing offense (273.6 ypg), while the defense led the nation in rushing defense (72.4 ypg), was third in total defense (251.9 ypg) and 12th in scoring defense (16.7 ppg), along with leading the nation in turnovers gained and interceptions, and ranking in the top 10 in sacks, TFL and pass efficiency defense.

He also became a two-time finalist for the Heisman Trophy. WR Jordan Shipley was a consensus All-America honoree and a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, while S Earl Thomas also earned consensus All-America honors and was a finalist for the Thorpe Award. Meanwhile, DE/LB Sergio Kindle became the first player in college football history to be named a finalist for both the Butkus Award and Hendricks Award, and also was named first-team All-America, along with C Chris Hall who was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy. In addition, K Hunter Lawrence was a semifinalist for the Groza Award and DE Sam Acho was a semifinalist for the Lott Trophy. Texas entered the 2008 season with less media acclaim than previous seasons, but by mid-season, a win over No. 1 Oklahoma propelled the team to its own No. 1 ranking. It marked the first regular-season No. 1 ranking for the program since Oct. 8, 1984, and began the toughest four-game stretch in the history of college football where the Longhorns would face a team ranked in the Top 11 in every game. The team finished within one second of completing the gauntlet before falling at No. 7 Texas Tech on the last play from scrimmage. Despite the difficult loss, the team rebounded to win all of its remaining games, capped by a thrilling win over No. 10 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, providing Texas a school-record fifth-consecutive bowl win, including three BCS bowls. The Longhorns finished the season ranked No. 4 in the AP poll and No. 3 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. On offense, Texas averaged 42.4 points per game (fifth NCAA), total yards (ninth NCAA) and passing yards (seventh NCAA), led by McCoy, who set the NCAA single-season record for completion percentage (77.6). McCoy earned firstteam All-America honors and was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year and runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. On defense, Texas led the nation in sacks and led the Big 12 in scoring defense (18.8 ppg), total defense (342.9 ypg) and rushing defense (83.5 ypg/third NCAA). DE Brian Orakpo became UT s 19th unanimous All-American and won the Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Hendricks Award. Shipley also earned third-team All-America honors, while WR Quan Cosby was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award.

The 2006 Longhorn season continued the validation of a premier football program that had achieved back-to-back Rose Bowl victories, including the BCS National Championship. Ranked No. 2 in the country as defending National Champions, Texas lost to No. 1 Ohio State in the second game of the year, but fought their way back to a No. 4 national ranking before an injury to McCoy helped lead to narrow losses in the final two games of the regular season. Still, they bounced back with a come-from-behind victory over Iowa in the Alamo Bowl to earn a 10-3 record. The season included victories over both Oklahoma and Nebraska, the two teams that played for the Big 12 championship, after the Longhorns late season losses. Cornerback Aaron Ross won the Thorpe Award as the nation s top defensive back, and offensive lineman Justin Blalock was a finalist for both the Outland Trophy and the Lombardi Award. Ross and Blalock earned first-team All-America honors, while Hendricks Award finalist Tim Crowder and Lott Trophy semifinalist Michael Griffin were recognized as second-team All-Americans. McCoy, a redshirt freshman, earned National Freshman of the Year honors as he tied an NCAA record with 29 touchdown passes. Brown had the most successful season of his career in 2005, leading Texas to its first National Championship since Texas made a return trip to the Rose Bowl for its first appearance in the BCS National Championship game, where the Longhorns ended USC s 34-game winning streak and extended their own winning streak to 20 with a victory. The team was led by Maxwell Award winner Vince Young. Young, who was also the Heisman runner-up and Davey O Brien and Manning Award winner, finished his career as Texas all-time winningest quarterback with a 30-2 record. Texas offense set UT records in points scored (652) and total yards (6,657), while ranking first in the nation in scoring (50.2 ppg), second in rushing (274.9 ypg) and third in total mack s milestone With a victory against Texas A&M in 2008, Mack Brown became the first head coach in UT history to reach the 200-victory plateau ( /.666) 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 two active coaches, who have spent at least five years at an FBS school, to reach the 200-victory mark. In addition, Brown is one of only five active coaches at FBS schools who have won 100 games at their current school (140-39/.782). Of the 80 coaches that have ever won 100 games at a FBS school, Brown is the 12th fastest to reach the century mark (124 games) and the fourth-fastest among active coaches. turning it around Appalachian State Pre-Brown Under Brown 1981: : : 4-7 Tulane Pre-Brown Under Brown 1982: : : : : : 6-6% % led Tulane to just its fifth bowl game in more than 40 years.

Texas was also highly ranked on defense. Led by UT s first-ever Thorpe Award winner Michael Huff, the Longhorns finished sixth in scoring defense (16.4 ppg) and 10th in total defense (302.9 ypg). In 2004, the Longhorns managed their fourth consecutive 10-win season, while defeating six teams ranked in either the AP Poll or ESPN/USA Today Poll. It was also their third 11-win season in four years and was capped with Texas first BCS selection and a Rose Bowl Championship over No. 13 Michigan. UT was led by All-Americans on both sides of the ball in senior running back and Doak Walker Award winner Cedric Benson and senior linebacker, Nagurski Trophy winner and Butkus Award winner Derrick Johnson. Behind Benson, the offense ranked second nationally in rushing offense (299.2 ypg), seventh in total offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scoring offense (35.3 ppg). The Longhorns rushed for over 300 yards six times, the most since 1977, and put up at least 400 yards in nine of their 12 games. With Johnson taking the lead, the defense ranked 18th nationally in scoring defense (17.9 ppg), 16th in rushing defense (107.4) and 32nd in turnover margin (+5). They held teams to 14 points or less on six different occasions. Under his guidance in 2003, Texas rallied from a 4-2 start to post six straight victories and finished with a 10-3 record and No. 12 national ranking. The Longhorns were led by a balanced offense and defense that was one of only four programs nationally that ranked among the NCAA s top 25 in total offense and total defense. Texas averaged rushing yards per game (8th NCAA) and produced its most yards on the ground (3,023) since It also averaged passing yards per game to mark just the third time in school history that the Horns averaged 200 yards rushing and passing in the same season. Led by its first-ever Butkus Award finalist and consensus first-team All-American, LB Derrick Johnson, UT s defense ranked 25th nationally allowing yards per game. Brown s 2002 squad found itself once-again mentioned among the national title contenders until late in the season. With an 11-2 record and a No. 6 final ranking, the Horns posted back-to-back 11-win seasons for the first time in school history and consecutive Top 10 finishes for the first time since Texas capped the year with a victory over LSU in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns also won or shared the Big 12 South title for the third time in the last four seasons. Led by first-team All-American and Lombardi Trophy finalist DE Cory Redding and first-team All-Big 12 performers LB Derrick Johnson and CB Rod Babers, the Longhorns defense finished the year ranked among the nation s top 16 for the fourth straight year. On offense, QB Chris Simms and WR Roy Williams had record-setting years and RB Cedric Benson posted a second straight 1,000-yard rushing season. Williams and consensus first-team All-American OL Derrick Dockery both earned first-team All-Big 12 honors as the Horns averaged 33.8 points per game (16th NCAA). In 2001, Brown saw his efforts in rebuilding the UT program into a national power reach new heights and provide promising hope for the future. The Longhorns came within three points of a possible berth in the National Championship game for the first time in decades. Texas opened the season with its first preseason Top Five ranking since 1983 and with wins in its final six games, claimed the Big 12 South title for the second time. The Horns were ranked among the nation s Top 10 in 16 of the 17 polls in 2001 and only a narrow defeat at the hands of No. 9 Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game prevented Brown s team from likely playing for the national title. With a victory against No. 21 Washington in the Holiday Bowl, What makes Coach Brown so successful is the way he carries himself. He s a player s coach. He gets very involved with practice and really likes being around the guys. He knows his stuff and works you hard, but no matter what is going on in your life, he s a guy you can talk to. Quentin Jammer, Longhorns All-American cornerback and 2002 NFL first-round draft pick Texas posted a school record-tying 11 victories (11-2) for the first time since 83 and just the fifth time in school history. The win also secured the program s first Top 10 finish since that year. Led by unanimous first-team All-American and UT s first-ever Thorpe Award finalist CB Quentin Jammer and All-Americans LB D.D. Lewis and Redding, the Longhorns topped the nation in total defense (236.2 ypg). Jammer, the first Longhorns defender since Jerry Gray in 1984 to earn unanimous first-team All- America honors, and Lewis shared team MVP honors. The Longhorns were one of only two teams nationally that ranked among the NCAA s top 10 in all five major statistical categories. True freshman LB Derrick Johnson was tabbed The Sporting News Freshman of the Year and named the Holiday Bowl Defensive MVP. Offensively, Texas balanced attack was led by a passing game that posted, at the time, the fourth-most yards (3,003) on UT record and a scoring attack that ranked first in the Big 12 and sixth nationally (39.2 ppg). OT Mike Williams earned first-team All-America honors and was joined by WR Roy Williams as first-team All-Big 12. True freshman RB Cedric Benson set freshman records for rushing yards (1,053) and rushing TDs (12) en route to Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year honors. In 2000, Brown s youthful Longhorns overcame a pair of tough losses as well as injuries that sidelined its first, second and third-string tight ends and slowed its All- America candidate at defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. Despite starting as many as five true freshmen and featuring a 44-man depth chart that included 36 underclassmen, UT rallied from a 3-2 start to run off six consecutive victories. UT lost a shootout with No. 8 Oregon in the Holiday Bowl and closed out the year with a 9-3 record (7-1, Big 12) and a final No. 12 national ranking, its best finish in the polls since Texas explosive offense ranked 14th nationally in total offense (439.0 ypg) and eighth in scoring (38.6 ppg.). RB Hodges Mitchell, a first-team All-Big 12 choice for a second consecutive year, led the way. Mitchell rushed for 1,118 yards, and for the second year in a row, he established himself as the only player in UT history to gain 1,000 rushing and 300 receiving yards in a season. His path was paved by consensus first-team All-American and Outland Trophy finalist OT Leonard Davis. With the loss of nearly every pass catcher from 1999, the greatest challenge Brown and his offensive staff faced in 2000 was honing the skills of a stable of young wide receivers. That project was a success as true freshmen B.J. Johnson and Roy Williams rewrote the Longhorns record books while each earned second-team Freshman All-America honors. Texas revitalized defense was led by two-time first-team All-American and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year DT Casey Hampton. An Outland Trophy semifinalist and first-team All-America in 1999, Hampton became the first lineman in UT history to lead the team in tackles in back-to-back seasons and finished his career then mack brown and the nfl draft (as of the 2011 NFL Draft) 4 Dating back to 1986 when he was the head coach at Tulane, Mack Brown has had a player selected in 26 straight NFL Drafts.

He was joined by Jammer on the first-team All-Big 12 unit, as Texas led the nation in pass efficiency defense (88.3 rating) and ranked seventh in total defense (278.3 ypg). Despite the loss of Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams, All-Big 12 wide receiver Wane McGarity and four starters from a veteran offensive line, Brown s 1999 squad registered a 9-5 record and claimed the Big 12 South Division Championship. The offense set a school record with 3,580 passing yards and registered the secondmost total yards in school annals (5,336). Defensively, UT began its climb back among the nation s best, ranking sixth in total defense (286.7 ypg). WR Kwame Cavil set UT and Big 12 records with 100 receptions for 1,188 yards en route to second-team All-America and first-team All-Big 12 honors that year. Sophomore quarterback Major Applewhite set UT marks with 3,357 passing yards and 21 TDs while earning co-big 12 Offensive Player of the Year recognition. Mitchell became the first back in UT history to rush for 1,000 yards and record 300 receiving yards en route to first-team All-Big 12 honors and earned a spot among the Dr Pepper Doak Walker Award semifinalists. OG Roger Roesler earned first-team All-Big 12 recognition and third-team All-America honors. DE Aaron Humphrey, who posted 20 sacks in his two years under Brown and finished his career then ranked third on UT s all-time TFLs list (50.5), also ranked eighth on the Longhorns all-time sack chart (24.5) and earned Longhorns MVP honors in DE Cedric Woodard, a 2000 NFL Draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens, had 19 TFLs in 1999 and 40 for his career (No. 8 on UT s all-time list at the time). In 1998, running back Ricky Williams ran away with virtually every major college football award. Williams claimed the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp and Associated Press Player of the Year honors and the Dr Pepper Doak Walker Award as Texas rebounded from a 4-7 season to finish 9-3 and ranked 15th nationally. After starting the year with a 1-2 record, the Longhorns won six consecutive games and eight of their final nine contests, including snapping No. 7 Nebraska s 47-game home winning streak with a victory. Brown s first UT team capped the year with a victory against No. 25 Mississippi State in the Cotton Bowl, the Longhorns first New Year s Day bowl victory since Williams led the nation in rushing with a school-best 2,124 yards and set a school record with 28 rushing TDs. The Longhorns tallied the fourth-most yards of offense in school history (5,177) at the time. WR Wane McGarity, TE Derek Lewis and offensive linemen Ben Adams and Jay Humphrey all earned first-team All-Big 12 honors for an offense that was among the best in UT history. Adams and Humphrey also were tabbed first-team All-American. Defensively, the youthful Longhorns featured a predominantly underclassmen unit but re-established themselves after ranking 85th in total defense (399.2 ypg) and 104th in scoring defense (33 ppg) in Born in Cookeville, Tenn., Brown was a three-sport star at Putnam County High School, where he lettered three times in football. He went on to attend Vanderbilt ( ) and graduated from Florida State. He lettered twice as a running back for the Seminoles ( ). An injury sidelined him for much of the 1973 season and that led to the start of his coaching career as he became a student coach. He completed his bachelor s degree in education in Brown began his full-time coaching career in 1975 at Southern Mississippi, where he worked with the receivers for three seasons. He earned a master s degree in administration from Southern Miss in Brown then coached the wide receivers at Memphis State in 1978 and at Iowa State in 79. He was promoted to offensive coordinator at Iowa State in 1980, and in his time at Ames, the Cyclones broke 17 school and Big Eight Conference offensive records and produced league leaders in rushing and total offense. Brown went on to lead the quarterbacks at LSU in 1982, when the Tigers went and played Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. In just his 10th season of full-time coaching, Brown had become a head coach, taking over the Appalachian State program in At the age of 32, he directed the Mountaineers to their first winning record in four years with a 6-5 slate. After one season, he left to become offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. In his only year on Barry Switzer s staff, the Sooners were 9-2-1, won the Big Eight title and earned a berth in the Orange Bowl. Brown helped Oklahoma develop its best passing attack in years, as he coached quarterbacks Danny Bradley, a first-team All-Big Eight selection, and Troy Aikman, a three-time Super Bowl Champion signal caller with the Dallas Cowboys. Brown became head coach at Tulane in 1985 and quickly went about rejuvenating the Green Wave s sagging football fortunes. Tulane had suffered three consecutive losing seasons before Brown s arrival, but by his third season in 1987, he led the I have never seen anyone make friends better or quicker with the high school coaching community. Eddie Joseph, former exec. vice president, Texas High School Coaches Association Green Wave to a 6-5 mark and a berth in the Independence Bowl (just the program s fifth bowl game since 1940). That season, the Green Wave set school records for total offense and points, ranking 11th nationally in scoring (32.5 ppg). That remarkable season earned Brown a spot in the Independence Bowl Hall of Honor in He also served as athletics director his final two years at Tulane. In 1988, Brown took over a North Carolina program that had suffered two losing seasons in its previous three years and three non-winning seasons in its previous four years. While rebuilding the foundation, Brown s Tar Heels squads posted backto-back 1-10 seasons in 1988 and 89. In 1990, Carolina was and the Tar Heels were beginning a run of eight consecutive winning seasons and six straight bowl game appearances. UNC s (.750) record during his last six years ranked as the ninthbest nationally during that period. His final two seasons were the most impressive. He compiled a 20-3 (.870) mark and led the Heels to a No. 4 final ranking in the USA Today/ESPN poll and No. 6 ranking by The AP in At UNC, Brown recruited and coached several of the finest players in school history. From his 1997 squad, DE Greg Ellis (No. 8, Dallas Cowboys), LB Brian Simmons (No. 17, Cincinnati Bengals) and DT Vonnie Holliday (No. 19, Green Bay Packers) earned All-America recognition and were selected among the first 19 picks in the 1998 NFL Draft. Along with that trio of first-rounders, Brown also helped develop several other Tar Heels standouts. Marcus Jones, a consensus first-team All-America defensive tackle, earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors in Corey Holliday, the leading receiver in Tar Heels history, was a CFA/Hitachi Scholar-Athlete and is a former member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dwight Hollier, who made more than 500 tackles during his Tar Heels career, also played in the NFL. Natrone Means, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his final two seasons at UNC, went on to lead the San Diego Chargers to Super Bowl XXIX and the Jacksonville Jaguars to the 1996 AFC title game. QBs Jason Stanicek and Mike Thomas combined to rewrite Carolina s passing and total offense records. CB Thomas Smith came to UNC in 1989 as a walk-on from a small high school in North Carolina and departed as a first-round pick of the AFC Champion Buffalo Bills. RB Leon Johnson, one of the premier all-purpose offensive threats in ACC history, played eight seasons in the NFL. CB Dré Bly, a three-time All-American who recorded an ACC-record 20 interceptions during his career, played 11 seasons in the NFL. Freddie Jones, a second-round draft choice of the San Diego Chargers in 1997, was one of the NFL s top pass-catching tight ends and played eight seasons in the NFL. After leading UNC to a 10-1 regular season record and a No. 6 national ranking, Brown accepted the head coaching position at Texas on Dec. 4, One of the most respected coaches in the college game, Brown has served on numerous national committees. He has been a member of the NCAA Football Rules Committee and the NCAA Football Issues Committee. He has been chairman of the Football Coaches Committee and a member of the Board of Directors of the College Football Association. A past member of the American Football Coaches Association s (AFCA) Ethics Committee, Brown also has served on the AFCA Public Relations Committee. He has been invited to coach in five postseason all-star games, including the Japan Bowl, Hula Bowl (twice) and East-West Shrine Game (twice). He and his wife, Sally, have four children Matt, Katherine, Barbara and Chris. Sally enthusiastically involves herself in football team activities. In 1999, she retired as president of Marin Development in North Carolina. She is past president of the Public, Private Partnership (PPP), an organization that fostered improved relations between the University of North Carolina and the town of Chapel Hill. She also volunteered time to chair the fund-raising efforts for the UNC Black Cultural Center and was a member of a Carolina Alumni Advisory Committee. Brown s human touch and dedication to family has also been evident in his life as an involved citizen in the Austin community with hiswife Sally. The Browns serve as honorary co-chairpersons of the Capital Campaign for the Helping Hands of Austin. They have been instrumental in the opening of The Rise School of Austin (an early childhood education program that integrates children who have disabilities with their typically developing peers) and serve on the school s Board of Directors.

The Browns also contribute privately to numerous other causes in Austin, and in April 2011, Brown was named the 2011 Lady Bird Johnson Humanitarian Award Winner by the American Red Cross. In September 2008, he and Sally were named the Citizens of the Year for Caritas of Austin, which provides meals and aid for the homeless. The Browns themselves have spent many hours serving food at Caritas. Earlier in that year, The University of Texas honored Mack Brown with The Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs. The Chair is part of the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law, a university-wide global affairs research center named for renowned lawyer and public servant, Ambassador Robert S. Strauss. The center is part of the LBJ School of Public Affairs. In June 2007, Brown paired with Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott to commend fathers who provide a nurturing home for their children, and asked dads from across the state to join in the fight against domestic abuse. In May 2009, Brown went on an eight-day trip to visit U.S. troops in Germany, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Djibouti and Spain as part of the Coaches Tour The Browns have previously endorsed a new Texas license plate, which was designed to raise public awareness for child abuse and neglect and the need for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers.

52 Major Applewhite Co-Offensive Coordinator/Running Backs Bryan Harsin Co-Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks A record setting quarterback at UT and former graduate assistant coach for Mack Brown, Major Applewhite is a nineyear coaching veteran who joined the Texas staff in January 2008 as assistant head coach and running backs coach before being promoted to co-offensive coordinator in January Since Applewhite began coaching running backs in 2008, Doak Walker Award semifinalist Jamaal Charles and Chris Ogbonnaya have both gone on to the NFL. This season the running backs combined for 2,214 yards and 22 touchdowns on 419 carries while adding 34 receptions for 274 yards and one touchdown. Four different backs recorded five or more rushing touchdowns and four players had over 300 rushing yards, led by two true freshmen, Malcolm Brown (707 yards, 5 TD) and Joe Bergeron (454 yards, 5 TD). In 2010, the running back corps combined for 1,396 rushing yards and 14 TDs, while catching 47 passes for 322 yards. During Applewhite s tenure, the current Texas RBs who have started at least one game in their careers have fumbled only eight times and lost only three. Of those eight, only four belonged to backs on the 2010 team and of those, only one was lost (Fozzy Whittaker 2-0, Cody Johnson 1-0, Tre Newton 1-1). The running backs rushed for 1,665 yards and 24 TDs in Redshirt freshman Tre Newton emerged to lead the team in rushing, helping fill the void of Ogbonnaya, who was drafted by the St. Louis Rams. Newton combined with junior Vondrell McGee and sophomores Cody Johnson and Fozzy Whittaker, who each had at least 50 carries. In 2008, Applewhite guided a running backs unit that had to replace Hometown Baton Rouge, La. High school Catholic (Baton Rouge, La.) College Texas 01 Year in coaching Ninth Wife Julie Children Lila Doak Walker Award semifinalist Jamaal Charles, who went to the NFL. Ogbonnaya, McGee, Whittaker and Johnson stepped in and combined to rush for 1,371 yards and 20 TDs, including 12 TDs by Johnson, which tied the UT freshman record. The group did not lose a fumble during the entire season and showed its versatility by combining for 65 receptions for 640 yards and three TDs, led by Ogbonnaya, who set the UT singleseason record for receptions by a running back with 46. He also finished second on the single-season receiving yards list with 540. Ogbonnaya earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors and was named Second-Team Academic All-America.

Despite its youth, the offense was able to put up over 500 yards of total offense four times and rank 19th nationally in rushing offense with yards per game. The team ran for over 400 yards in back-to-back games against Kansas (441) and Texas Tech (439), marking just the fifth and sixth 400-yard rushing performances by Texas since Harsin helped guide three different starting quarterbacks to 2,218 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was at the helm of the offense during a five-year period where the Broncos posted a 61-5 record that included two undefeated seasons, which were capped by Fiesta Bowl wins over TCU in 2009 (14-0) and Oklahoma in 2006 (13-0).

In those five seasons, the Broncos offense averaged ypg. Harsin s offenses averaged more than 200 yards both rushing and passing twice during his tenure. In 2006, Boise State produced the sixth-ranked rushing offense in the nation with ypg, while in 2010 it had the nation s sixth-ranked passing attack with ypg, which is the fourth-best mark in school history. During that span, the offense averaged yards passing and yards rushing per game.

54 Bruce Chambers Co-Recruiting Coordinator/Tight Ends Bo Davis Defensive Tackles O ne of the most respected high school coaches in Texas for 14 years, Bruce Chambers has continued that success at The University of Texas. Chambers is in his ninth season as UT s tight ends coach after spending the previous five years working with the running backs. He also became UT s recruiting coordinator in Five of the Longhorn RBs and TEs he has worked with are currently in the NFL. Chambers tight ends combined for 28 receptions for 311 yards and six touchdowns in Two seniors, D.J. Grant and Blaine Irby, returned to action after each missed the 2009 and 2010 seasons with injuries. Both players caught three touchdown passes to tie for the team lead this season. Senior Greg Smith and sophomore Barrett Matthews saw a majority of the snaps at tight end with redshirt freshman Dominique Jones contributing late during the 2010 season. In 2009, Smith saw the majority of snaps at tight end and provided excellent blocking and timely receiving for a position that had seen its share of injuries over the course of two seasons. In 2008, sophomore Blaine Irby emerged following the loss of Jermichael Finley to the NFL. Through the first three games, Irby caught 10 passes for 95 yards and two TDs, but his season was then cut short by injury. With injuries also to young TEs Josh Marshall and Ian Harris, Smith moved over from the offensive line and combined with senior Peter Ullman to provide solid blocking. In 2007, Chambers led a tight ends group highlighted by Finley. The sophomore started all 13 games and caught 45 passes (No. 2 on the UT single-season list) for 575 yards (No. 3 on the UT singleseason list) and two TDs. Chambers had the difficult task of replacing statistically the greatest tight end in UT history for 2006 after David Thomas graduation. However, under Chambers guidance, Finley broke all of the freshman tight end receiving records. He finished with 31 receptions for 272 yards and three TDs and was named honorable mention Freshman All-America. In 2005, Chambers guided Thomas to one of the best seasons by a tight end in UT history. Thomas, who earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, set the single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 50, finished second on the single-season Hometown Dallas, Texas High school Carter (Dallas, Texas) College North Texas 82 Year in coaching 28th Wife Cathy list with 613 yards and tied for third with five TD receptions. In all, Thomas rewrote the record book, finishing his career as Texas all-time tight-end leader in receptions (98), yards (1,367) and TDs (15).
