Coach:
Mack Brown

Last year:
10-3, including an Alamo Bowl win over Iowa. The Longhorns have won at least 10 games in each of the past six seasons.

Offense: Texas is strong at the skill positions, but it will need to fill three spots on the line. Quarterback Colt McCoy did a remarkable job filling the shoes of graduated star Vince Young, throwing for 29 touchdowns and 2,570 yards, the best for a freshman at the school. Running back Jamaal Charles, who has averaged 6.2 yards a carry, returns for his junior season. The Longhorns have a stellar group of receivers, including Playboy All America Limas Sweed.

Defense: Texas lost some big-time talent in corner Aaron Ross, the Thorpe Award winner last season, end Tim Crowder and safety Michael Griffin. Frank Okam, a 2006 Playboy All America, will be the senior leader around whom Brown will build this year's defense. There's no shortage of young talent waiting for an opportunity.

Schedule: With four of its first five games at home, Texas should get off to a galloping start.

Prediction: 10-2
