An opposing team's coach sizes up the Longhorns

"They struggled running the ball last season but will emphasize it this year....

If you look at tape of Chris Simms later in the year, he looks more comfortable. You've got to take care of Roy Williams and the other receivers....

The defense, when you take its starting 11 top to bottom, could be the most talented in the country....

Quentin Jammer is a tremendous athlete, but they move him around so much. His fundamentals were shaky at corner, and he wasn't comfortable. He made good plays at safety, but he didn't have a good feel for that position....

The linebackers [ D.D. Lewis, Everick Rawls and Tyrone Jones] run well. They're good sideline to sideline, but I don't know if they're physical enough. Linebackers should be filling gaps violently. They kind of watch and get caught up in the wash. A lot of it has to do with the stunt package for the guys up front. They might get an offensive lineman to blow an assignment, but if the offensive linemen take their gap responsibility, they can stop the stunts."
