Holtz is aware the Dallas Cowboys also play in the Lone Star state. “Our players believe we can win, and I believe we are capable of winning,” Holtz said. “We have to have a lot of things go well and play a perfect game. Holtz — who enjoys provid ing sportswriters with one-liners — talked with Arkansas media Wednesday in a telephone press conference linking Fayetteville, Little Rock and Austin. “I think it will be an excellent football game between two foot ball teams that think they can win,” Holtz said. “I don’t believe any team will run us out of the stadium unless we help them. If we make a lot of mistakes, the University of Texas can embar rass our team. “This is the best defensive team I’ve ever seen in all my years of coaching,” said Holtz, a former NFL coach for the New York Jets. “There’s some discre pancy on who is the best team in Texas — the Dallas Cowboys or Texas.” Despite his lavish praise, Holtz said his Razorbacks have a chance to defeat the second- ranked Horns Saturday morn ing in Little Rock in a regionally televised game. “I fully expect that Texas will play their best. We will have to play our best.” Holtz said the strength of Texas’ defense will make the Razorback passing game critical. “We’re going to have to throw the ball a tremendous amount,” he said. “I don’t see any alterna tive. We will run some. But if Oklahoma couldn’t run with Marcus Dupree and their good offensive line, I don’t see how Arkansas can.” Longhorn coach Fred Akers Lou Holtz: Longhorns as good as Dallas Cowboys Hey Zeta’s! The E’s are ready to Rock around the clock Tonight at 8:00 See you at the Hop! said the passing of Arkansas quarterback Brad Taylor con cerned him. “Their passing attack is dan gerous,” Akers said. “When you have the receivers that Arkansas has and a quarterback like Brad Taylor that can bust things open on any play, it adds to your run ning game. “Arkansas showed a great deal of improvement (running) in the TCU game,” Akers noted. “With two weeks to prepare they should make even more im provement. Arkansas has made more improvement in the run ning game than anywhere else.” Holtz said Taylor’s passing ability may be offset some by his relative lack of mobility com pared to Oklahoma quarterback Danny Bradley. Bradley’s scrambling helped the Sooners in last week’s 28-16 defeat by Texas. “Brad can get the ball to his receivers if he gets time and the receivers can get open,” Holtz noted, “but receivers haven’t been able to get open against them.” Both coaches praised Lon ghorn quarterback Rob Moers- chell, who stepped in when pro jected starter Todd Dodge was injured in the preseason and has played well. “Moerschell is leading the team well,” Akers said. “His ball handling has been excellent and he’s a tough little competitor.” “He’s a winner, he’s a good competitor, he protects the ball well, he’s obviously intelligent and he leads the football team,” Holtz said of Moerschell. “He reminds me of Lance Mcllhen- ny (SMU). He gets the job done and he seems to be a catalyst.” Akers said the memory of a 42-11 ambush at Fayetteville in 1981 should help prevent any letdown after the Oxlahoma vic tory.
