Landry, who will start his
second game Saturday, watched
coaches films of last year’s 50-0
Texas win over Houston on Tues
day and said he planned a steady
diet the rest of the week of films
showing the Longhorns defense
stopping opponents’ offenses.
“Defense,” he said, “seems to
be their strength. But I really
think we will be able to move the
ball on them. Our team is real con
fident after the TCU game.”
The Longhorns bring to the
Astrodome the No. 1 rated de
fense in the country. That unit has
allowed 193 yards a game, a figure
that Landry said impressed him.
“But we’re not just going to lay
down just because they are the
number one defense.” he said.
Landry last Saturday became
the first freshman who coach Bill
Yeoman ever started by choice,
and he justified Yeoman s confi
dence by leading the struggling
team to a 28-21 win over Texas
Christian.
“He’s going to have:'
downs. He’s not goiii:
body alive. But hesb,,;
ity to learn,” YeonM;^^_^ ^

Since his first exposure in the
Ji Baylor game, Landry has learned
to read the defensive ends’ move
ments during execution of the
veer option offense. Against
Texas, the smallish Landry will
come face-to-face with 6-5, 243
Eric Holle and 6-4, 240 Ed Wil

“It really was a good feeling,”
Landry said. “I was real confident
in my teammates and stuff. And
we executed pretty well.”
TCU more often than not forced
Landry to carry the ball on the
option. He did without reserva
tion, carrying 29 times for 133
yards and two touchdowns.
“Texas will be tougher, we
know that,” Landry said.
The predictament the Cougars
face is not unlike discovering a
light at the end of the tunnel is an
oncoming train in the form of the
Longhorns’ defense.
Landry at this time last year was
playing high school ball.
