	OU rivalry is red-hot this year 
	 
	Oct. 5, 2000 
	 
	
	[IMAGE]Chip Brown, The Dallas Morning News' Texas writer, answers your 
questions about the offense, Oklahoma, halo penalties and much more.

	CHIP SHOTS 
	 
	
	After listening to Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops' news conference on Tuesday, 
here are some selected quotes I thought readers might find interesting. 
	
	 On the season so far and how the team has changed from last year: 
	
	 "We're excited about the position we're in being 4-0, and we're a confident 
team going down to Dallas. We are more mature. We understand more. We play 
harder and are better conditioned and stronger than a year ago." 
	
	 On having four turnovers in last year's game with UT: 
	
	 "Turnovers were a major factor. We had two interceptions that hit us right 
in the chest and we drop. Both of those interceptions led to scores for 
them." 
	
	 On UT's quarterback rotation: 
	
	 "I don't bother to speculate why they do something or not. They run the same 
offense with both (Major) Applewhite and (Chris) Simms. I'm sure we'll see a 
good part of Applewhite. I know who our starting quarterback will be, and 
he'll be in there the whole go unless something happens." 
	
	 On OU's running game: 
	
	 "I hope our running game is a factor in this game. We're quite a bit more 
confident in our running game because we've emphasized it." 
	
	 On going up, 17-0, in the first quarter and then losing last year's game, 
38-28: 
	
	 "We set the tone early last year and didn't finish the tone. There's no 
protecting a lead for three quarters. And Major Applewhite made some throws, 
you watch on film, that you can't believe." 
	
	 On OU having lost three straight to Texas: 
	
	 "We get e-mails and letters. We know what the situation is, and we need to 
win."  
	
	
	
	 
	Longhorn Q & A 
	 Q: I heard rumors that the Royal-Memorial Stadium will one day be the  
largest stadium in terms of seating capacity in the country, seating some  
114,000 folks. What's the chance of this happening in the near term?  
	 ?? Waxer, Dallas 
	
	 BROWN:  Well, former UT regent Tom Hicks (owner of the Dallas Stars and 
Texas Rangers) wants it done and is willing to help pay for it, so there is a 
good chance some movement on this could happen in the next few years. UT 
would start by expanding and closing in the north end of Royal-Memorial. Then 
the focus would turn to the south end. 
	?
	
	
	
	
	
	
	[IMAGE] 
	Kalen Thornton  
	
	Q: What happened to Adam Doiron? 
	?? Morris W. Collie, Houston 
	
	 BROWN:  Adam Doiron was initially projected by UT defensive coordinator Carl 
Reese to be the top defensive end of the freshman class. He thought Doiron 
would be the best run stopper of the bunch, and since that's an area Texas 
wants to improve, Reese figured Doiron might play early on. But DE Kalen 
Thornton moved ahead of Doiron during the pre-season, and now Reese is 
considering redshirting Doiron. Doiron recently started working at defensive 
tackle, and if any more players go down at that position, Doiron could see 
playing time. The coaches like him, but might want to build for the future by 
holding him out this season. 
	
	?
	
	
	 Q: I was very happy to see some positive things from our offense in the  
second half, especially the running of Kenny Hayter, but I have a  question 
about the punt team. 
	
	It's obvious that opposing teams'  philosophy is to not call "fair catch." I 
first noticed this against  Nebraska last year. And I certainly think that 
making an early tackle by  invading the "halo" and receiving a 5-yard penalty 
is much better than  sitting back and possibly allowing a big return.
	
	But if we're going to  get the penalty, why not lay our ears back and pop the 
receiver in the  mouth whether he's caught the ball or not? A big hit would 
make that  penalty a little easier to swallow, don't you think? 
	?? Cody Anderson, Houston, Texas 
	
	 BROWN:  No question about it. First, you want to try to avoid getting the 
penalty. But if you are going to get the penalty, then get your money's worth 
and give that returner something to remember for next time. 
	
	I hate this rule. Colorado coach Gary Barnett went so far as to say that 
against a team with great returners, such as Kansas State, who has David 
Allen, it's better to violate the halo rule and tackle these guys, take the 
5-yard penalty and keep them from breaking one 60 or 70 yards for a score. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: It seems like I've been waiting forever for the offensive line to click. 
Did something come together finally or have I not been paying attention? (I 
am out of state and am limited to TV and had to miss one game.) 
	?? Jerry Secrets 
	
	 BROWN:  No, things did click in the second half of the Oklahoma State game. 
The running game used a gap-blocking scheme that focuses more on blocking 
angles than individual players. On running plays, the guard opposite the play 
side was pulling and creating some room for cutbacks. Mack Brown said the 
team had used the gap scheme in the past and it just didn't work. But last 
Saturday, it did. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: Will Sean Rogers play on Saturday? 
	?? Rick Bush, Dallas 
	
	 BROWN:  I think it's doubtful. Rogers didn't practice Tuesday and was still 
seen with his walking boot on to protect his sprained ankle. But I'm sure he 
and the coaches will evaluate his status right up until game time. Those high 
ankle sprains can be a nightmare if they don't heal properly, however. No one 
wants to rush him back and then lose him for the season because his return 
was premature. 
	?
	
	
	
	
	
	
	[IMAGE] 
	Josh Heupel  
	
	Q: OU has a great passing attack. Do you feel that Texas' young secondary can 
answer the call?  
	 ?? Marty Wagner 
	
	 BROWN:  This is the battle of the game, in my opinion: OU's receivers vs. 
UT's secondary. If OU quarterback Josh Heupel goes unpressured, the UT 
secondary might need therapy after this game. But Rod  
	
	Babers and Quentin Jammer have made progress each game. If Lee Jackson is 
back, he'll play strong safety, and Greg Brown would move from SS back to 
free safety. That means Dakarai Pearson goes back to the nickel back, which 
in this game, is good news for UT. You need Pearson in the game as much as 
possible. In my opinion, he breaks on the ball better than most of UT's 
D-backs. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: How do you see the Texas-Oklahoma game shaping up? What will be the keys? 
	?? Sara Wilson 
	
	 BROWN:  I think the offenses are equal, so it will come down to who plays 
the best defense. I think Texas has the better defense, even without Shaun 
Rogers. So I see Texas winning, 24-20. Turnovers will change the complexion 
of the game, of course. But I think UT is catching OU at the right time after 
picking up some much-needed confidence on offense against Oklahoma State. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: Now that the quarterback experiment SHOULD be officially over at Texas, 
do you expect Major Applewhite to start and play the entire game against OU? 
Also (looking ahead to next year because this year it is no longer an issue), 
do you think Major Applewhite would be a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate 
IF he were to start every game and take 90 percent of the snaps? 
	
	My two cents ... I think the Texas coaches better start treating Major 
Applewhite like one of the best college quarterbacks in the country, which he 
obviously is, and start treating Chris Simms like the second-best quarterback 
at the University of Texas, which he might be. (I say might because I haven't 
seen Chance Mock play in a game. He might be better than Simms.) 
	 ?? Clint Mickey 
	
	 BROWN:  Major Applewhite will start against Oklahoma (based on repetitions 
with the first team in practice this week) and I would be shocked if he 
doesn't play most or all of this game. In fact, I think Major will play most 
or all of the next two games. 
	
	If UT beats OU, the Colorado game will be one of those nightmare games 
because UT will be fighting a letdown and the Buffaloes will probably still 
be winless (the Bufs play at A?this week).  So, these next two games are all 
about experience. But I think Simms will be back in action when UT takes on 
Missouri on Oct. 21 because the coaches are sticking with the notion of 
having two starting quarterbacks. 
	
	I think Applewhite would be a Heisman Trophy candidate this season if he had 
been the lone starter. It's just impossible to think of yourself as the best 
player in the nation, I would think, when your coaches don't think you're the 
best QB on your own team. 
	
	As far as next year, you would have to think the coaches are going to 
continue this rotation because they have not backed off of it much this 
season. We'll see. Mock is still two years away unless Applewhite or Simms 
gets injured. 
	?
	
	
	
	
	
	
	[IMAGE] 
	Major Applewhite  
	
	Q: It's become obvious to everyone outside MackWorld that Major Applewhite 
has established himself as the one and only starting quarterback at Texas. It 
has become ridiculous to call both quarterbacks "starters" and insist on 
token starts for Chris Simms. 
	
	It seems to me it would be less demeaning to Simms to name Applewhite as THE 
starter and bring Simms in for quality playing time during the game instead 
of allowing him two series, then yanking him in favor of the REAL starter who 
then plays the rest of the game. The current charade hasn't fooled anyone. As 
fine as Simms'  
	
	talent appears to be, this is Major's team.  Any comments?  
	?? Rowell Rogers, Denton 
	
	 BROWN:  I talked to Major one-on-one on Monday, and he said he didn't 
realize how much confidence he had lost this season until he got the infusion 
of confidence by leading Texas on five straight scoring drives of the second 
half against Oklahoma State. If the coaches are insistent about this 
rotation, it will be interesting to see if Applewhite can continue to 
maintain or build on the confidence he seized in the OSU game.  
	?
	
	
	 Q: What is happening with special teams? I know they have had some recent 
success after missed tackles and have improved, but what I cannot understand 
is why the opposing team can get so close to Kris Stockton and UT, with 
superior recruiting and athletes, can not even get close. This has really 
hurt us. How is our blocking so different? Why does this problem persist?  
	?? Chad Dieterichs 
	
	 BROWN:  It sure appears to me that the players on the line are giving way 
too much ground after the snap. Almost every punt this season has been a 
matter of, can Stockton get the punt off before the opposing team collapses 
onto Stockton's pocket? 
	
	Mack Brown gets very upset with questions about the punt team. He says that 
they use the same formation that every NFL team uses and that special teams 
are prone to breakdowns because there aren't enough scholarships to recruit 
special teams players. And he says young players have to be used because 
veterans get tired playing offense and defense. 
	
	I asked Mack if he thought that members of the punt team were starting to 
have a mental block, now that two punts have been blocked this season. He 
said he didn't know. He said the latest punt block against Oklahoma State was 
the result of OSU players twisting and a UT player failing to pick up the 
assignment. At least this time, the punt blocker didn't run untouched through 
the middle of the line. 
	?
	
	 Q: I think people get too caught up in what's happening right now to realize 
what this team will be in a year or two. All we've heard about is how 
wonderful Mack's recruiting has been and how loaded we are, yet how the 
O-line is less than impressive and how the QB situation is hurting us. 
	
	Guess what? Most of these "great" players are only 18. Remember Ricky as a 
freshman? Didn't think so. Think about how solid we will be in two years with 
current players and the new recruits coming in. So if we lose another game or 
two this season and end up in the Poulan Weed Eater Independence Bowl, no 
biggie. 
	
	In a year or two, we'll be right in there. So here's my question. What will 
it take for Texas to be consistently rated up there with the great college 
programs? Right now, as a friend of mine would say, we have a good team and 
we're building a good program. It seems that Texas is heading in that 
direction, but we have a little way yet to go. What does Texas need to be a 
true Top 10 team? Is it personnel-based or is it about chemistry?  
	?? Alex Kephart, Dallas 
	
	 BROWN:  I think it has to do with chemistry and experience at this point. 
The talent is there. Mack Brown is recruiting winners. But each of the lines 
has to have experience, and there have to be some "Braveheart"-type leaders 
on the team. 
	
	Right now, the offensive line is still growing, even though it has two 
seniors. The defensive line has great senior tackles, but the ends are raw. 
So the defensive line probably won't be great again after this year for a 
couple years, if you believe that you need senior lines to win a national 
championship. 
	
	But I agree with you. Texas has all the makings of being a powerhouse instead 
of just a good team in the next two to three years. Everyone will put the 
Longhorns back up in the Top 5 next year because of their schedule. But Texas 
will be a veteran team with great depth in the next two to three years. 
	
	Right now, Texas and its fans and even the media have been guilty (me 
included) of holding Texas to the same standard as Nebaraska and Florida 
State. But that's probably not fair just yet. The stud players Brown is 
recruiting need time to settle into the system and get some experience. In 
the next couple years, Texas will justifiably be held to the same standard as 
the perennial powers. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: : I have two questions for you Chip: A) Does The University still have 
the longest scoring streak in NCAA football? B) If I find myself looking at 
NEXT year's schedule after a payback loss at Stanford, do I need professional 
help? (P.S. You may also want to remind your readers we should NEVER feel 
guilty about running up the score against U of H.) 
	?? Arland Bishop 
	
	 BROWN:  Texas has scored in a Big 12-record 231 straight games, dating back 
to a 16-0 loss at Baylor in 1980. That is the second-longest active streak in 
the nation. BYU holds the longest scoring streak: 318 games. 
	
	Next year's schedule is even more appetizing than this year's schedule. The 
only non-conference road game is at Houston. The non-conference home games 
are New Mexico State and North Carolina. And the Big 12 schedule has Colorado 
in Austin. UT will have Oklahoma in Dallas (as usual) and Texas A?at Kyle 
Field. 
	
	So, no, you don't need therapy. If anything, next year's schedule should be 
another reason to have patience with this year's team. Good times are 
obviously on the horizon. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: I know the subject has been worn into the ground, but I haven't heard 
this view from anyone so ... In the mid-'90s Florida State was struggling 
early in the season with a young, talented QB named Charlie Ward (of course). 
They were winning the early games against less-talented teams, but just 
barely. Then, they finally put Ward in the shotgun on virtually every down 
and let him do his magic. 
	
	It was like night and day.  Basically, what they did was abandon their more 
balanced attack and did what their talent dictated they could do - pass early 
and often. The run was still used, but it was more to complement the pass. 
	
	I know UT is not in the exact situation, but this may make sense for them. 
The only time I thought the UT offense looked really good this year was right 
when Major Applewhite first came in against Louisiana-Lafayette and drove 
straight down the field. And, Major took almost every snap in the shotgun (at 
least the first drive). I know it was against an inferior opponent that was 
probably taken by surprise, but they showed more on those drives with Major 
in the first and second quarter than they have the rest of the season (so 
far). 
	
	I believe you CAN win in college football with an unbalanced attack. FSU has 
done it with primarily passing, and I can't begin to name all the OU and 
Nebraska-type teams that have won conference/national titles with 
one-dimensional offenses. Also, the shotgun helps Major's biggest liability - 
his mobility. Personally, I don't care which QB is used this season - in the 
shotgun or not, but I really wish Mack Brown would just choose one and stick 
with him.  
	?? Aaron Ruhnow 
	
	 BROWN:  I think you will continue to see the shotgun used only in specific 
situations. The Texas coaches are too committed to being a balanced offense 
that can run out of multiple sets. I do like the shotgun. The Buffalo Bills 
used it all the time while they were going to all those Super Bowls. You can 
do a lot with it. But it probably won't become a fixture in Austin. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: Do you think that the pressure and expectations of Texas fans are going 
to be too much for Mack Brown to handle? It appears he is already crumbling. 
If he thinks people are hammering him now, what will it be like if he drops 
this year's game to A?and suffers four losses? 
	?? Mike McDonald 
	
	 BROWN:  : I hope it won't be too much for Mack Brown. He's a good person and 
works really hard. I think he needs to just let some of this stuff wash over 
him and forget about it. I think he has gotten into a rut lately where he 
senses that every question has negative overtones. So now he is answering 
every question by acknowledging his critics with some kind of remark. 
	
	He has done more for Texas than UT will ever know. He has reshaped the 
mindset of the university with the positive outlook he has brought to the 
football team. Games are selling out. Players are coming to Austin. The kids, 
for the most part, are good kids. 
	
	There's no need for Mack to draw a line in the sand and allow a few negative 
voices to bring him down or cast a shadow over all the progress he has made. 
If he moves on, the media and the critics will move on, too. If he harps on 
criticism and keeps bringing it up in his answers, the media has no 
alternative but to report it. It becomes a wicked circle. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: David Aaron was a receiver that came out of Marshall a few years back. I 
know he also went to UT for track but he was a great receiver in high school. 
I saw him on the sidelines a few times but he never got much playing time. I 
was thinking he should be a senior this year. Do you know what ever happened 
to him? 
	?? Jeff, Marshall, Texas 
	
	 BROWN:  Aaron is just running track this year. He has left the football 
team. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: Is it just me , or does the football field look a little bit torn up? It 
just looks really dry and during the game a lot of turf gets thrown up. 
	?? Mark V. 
	
	 BROWN:  UT officials say it's the drought and the fact that the UT team 
practices on the field on Thursdays. But, I agree. I think the field looks 
worse this season than it did last season (and we had a drought and the team 
practiced on it last year, too). 
	?
	
	
	 Q: What is up with all the negative press that Mack Brown and the Horns have 
been getting lately? From exercising their right to buy out of the Hawaii 
game to losing their chance at a national title to running up the score in 
the U of H game, and finally, to wanting the U of H game moved from a high 
school stadium to a real college stadium where real fans can see a football 
game.
	
	I'm not sure about Dallas, but here in Houston Mack and Co. have been getting 
drilled for everything I listed above and more (QB rotation). It just seems 
like everyone in the media, and even some our own fans, want to find 
something negative to heap on the program.
	
	In my opinion, Mack and the rest of the team do not deserve this. Mack, his 
coaches and the players have been nothing short of genuine and up-front with 
the media and the public. They have expressed confidence, but never boasted 
about their greatness. In fact, they have been the epitome of humility. Do 
you have any thoughts as to why this is occurring? Hook 'em.  
	?? Marty Murray, Class of '82, Baytown, Texas 
	
	 BROWN:  It does seem to be a ridiculous truth that when we build something 
up, we inevitably end up tearing it down. Maybe the sense is that the 
storybook season of 1998 and the victory over Nebraska last year built up too 
big of expectations. The three losses at the end of last year did nothing to 
burst the bubble and then when UT comes out flat this year, everyone 
re-evaluated and said, "Wait, they really aren't that good."
	
	Mack Brown had been telling people to reduce their expectations. But when the 
star falls, people want to be the first to say it's falling. Then, they want 
to add their own wrinkle as to why it's falling. So people look for cracks in 
the foundation to bring up. 
	
	It's like in political campaigns. The media tends to build up a candidate and 
then when the first negative story comes out, they re-evaluate, and if some 
bad trends continue, that candidate gets torn to shreds. It all feeds on 
itself. But inevitably there is a settling period.
	
	I think the people who are quick to say that Texas isn't as good as we 
believed will calm down and there will be another story to cover. Plus, Texas 
may get hot, win all of its games, and then this brief bout of criticism will 
have been for naught. But sometimes criticism can be good for a coach and his 
team. He can use it as bulletin board material to get the team going. We'll 
see how Mack Brown and the vocal minority of critics handle things from 
here.  
	?
	
	
	 Q: Do you think Chris Simms would have benefited from a redshirt year? I 
realize we were thin at quarterback last year and it was probably not an 
option, but I look back at Major Applewhite and it appears to me he benefited 
from a redshirt year in which his only responsibility was to learn the 
system. When he came in as a redshirt freshman, he was ready to go. Thanks 
for your insightful newsletter.  
	?? Michael R. Johnson, Houston, Texas  
	
	 BROWN:  Sure, I think most players benefit from a redshirt year unless they 
are Michael Vick. There was no way a redshirt season was going to happen for 
Simms, however. Simms wants to spend just four years in college, and UT 
coaches needed a backup for Applewhite. There is no question Applewhite 
benefited from his redshirt season. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: I'm really sick of all this negative stuff from a vocal minority of 
fair-weather fans. They sound like a bunch of whining Aggies. 
	
	Having said that, I still can't help but wonder if we don't have a problem 
with our offensive line coach. According to the UT media guide, Coach Tim 
Nunez has had very little experience as an offensive line coach prior to 
coming here. He didn't play that position either. There is no track record of 
having actually developed a line, since he inherited experienced lines at 
both Marshall and UT. 
	
	This group clearly hasn't improved, even though it was a major source of 
concern after last season. Nunez may be a fine coach and a great recruiter, 
but does anyone think that he is one of the top O-line coaches in the 
country? Is he the one who we want developing the fine group of incoming line 
recruits we have committed for next year? 
	
	 BROWN:  Patience. Don't fire a coach before it gets to mid-season. If the 
offensive line doesn't show any progress by the end of the year, then it's 
time to talk about whether coaches have done their jobs. Nunez was coaching 
this line when it beat Nebraska last year, so let's give him some time to 
work with these guys. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: What's the scoop on playing UH at Robertson Stadium next year? Can Texas 
(a la Hawaii) threaten to cancel the game with Houston unless it is played in 
the Astrodome or Rice Stadium? Also, how can either school afford to give up 
the lost revenue that would result from a Robertson Stadium game, even if 
they do put in an extra 10,000 temporary seats? 
	?? Chris Barbee, El Campo, Texas  
	
	 BROWN:  This is a price Texas will pay for trying to rekindle some semblance 
of an old Southwest Conference matchup. After UT canceled the Hawaii game, I 
doubt they will actively seek to change next year's schedule. It will be an 
intimate setting, shall we say. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: I live in Odessa and I use to see Roy Williams do punt returns. Why not 
let  him return some punts? 
	
	 BROWN:  Mack Brown doesn't like to put freshmen back on punt returns until 
at least mid-season. After mid-season, he argues that freshmen aren't 
freshmen anymore. So, perhaps after mid-season, if UT is not making any 
progress on punt returns, we'll see some new faces back there. I would love 
to see what Williams can do, although I doubt that coaches would put him back 
there. And I would really like to see Nathan Vasher back there. Heck, I would 
like to see Nathan Vasher everywhere. From what I have seen, the kid is 
fearless with tons of confidence. We'll see. 
	?
	
	
	 Q: Before the UT/Oklahoma State game, I thought that Mack Brown would start 
shuffling the quarterbacks less often - giving them a quarter or two instead 
of two or three series each - in order to begin to establish some sort of 
consistency. (In your Sept. 25 column, you also said this should happen.) In 
the game, Chris Simms started, but was pulled early after an interception, 
and Applewhite played until well into the fourth quarter. The TV announcers 
even wondered aloud if Simms was hurt in some way, since he didn't get back  
in until late in the game. 
	
	My question is: Was this a message to Simms in some way, due to his poor 
early performance? Or was this somewhat scripted in advance in order to give 
Applewhite the reigns? It certainly appears that the coaches have more 
confidence in Applewhite based on the situations they put him in.  
	?? Rick Highfill. Naperville, Ill. 
	
	 BROWN:  I sincerely think that the coaches have been trying to give Simms 
every chance to thrive and possibly win the job. After four games, it's clear 
he hasn't won the job outright. Now, coaches have to decide if this rotation 
is really the best thing for the team and its leadership. I think they will 
rely more on Applewhite in the next two games and thus kind of disprove their 
own theories about having two starters. 
	
	The hard part about the public relations in this situation is that once you 
say you have two starters, it's a real blow to one once you say that you now 
only have one starter. I think the coaches will continue to say they have two 
starters and play Simms out of fear of an injury affecting Applewhite. I 
don't know if that's the right answer. Applewhite grew on the job without any 
game training before Richard Walton went down in 1998. So who knows? 
	
	I would think the coaches will again rotate after the OU and Colorado games 
because they will face teams (Missouri, Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas) that 
they will probably be favored to beat. At that point, if you're UT, you just 
hope that the rotation doesn't hurt the team's offensive progress heading

	 Q: Is there a start time for the Colorado game? And will it be on TV? 
	?? Marcus Phillips 
	
	 BROWN:  The Colorado game will be at 2:30 p.m. Central time on Oct. 14. But 
the game will NOT be on TV. Not even on pay-per-view. If you want to see this 
one, you gotta get out to Boulder.
