But the dark cloud hanging over Austin is an offense ranked a dismal 84th in the nation going into Saturday’s home game against No. 17 Iowa State (6-2, 3-1). The Longhorns have struggled lately against good defenses. The offense has just six FDs and three field goals in the last three weeks. At 354 yards of offense per game, only Baylor and Kansas rank below Texas in the Big 12. That’s a long way from the Texas offenses in recent years and a big drop-off from the best effort this season, a 567-yard, 52-point outburst against North Carolina in the second game. “It really hasn’t been that bad,” said offensive lineman Robbie Doane, who points out Texas is still in the top 10. “There’s no reason to panic.” Too late. Local radio sports talk shows have been bom barded with complaints of conservative play calling. An Internet site dedicated to getting offensive coordinator Greg Davis fired boasts more than 25,000 hits in the last two weeks. All of which sets coach Mack Brown’s teeth to grinding. “When you don’t score 50 points you’re get ting ‘conservative,’” said Brown, who said he’s not going to fire Davis and disputes that he’s gone conservative in his fifth season in Austin. “What we’ve learned here is we pay no atten tion to the news reports or the fans,” Brown said. But the fans see what’s happening to their team and the offensive turnaround at rival Texas A&M. Aggies coach R.C. Slocum replaced his offen sive coordinator after a bad start withsu results. The traditional defensive powZ ranks second in the Big 12 in passing at J yards per game. Meanwhile, the vaunted Longhorns pass attack ranks seventh in the league at per game.
