So far, the Longhorns haven’t lived up to the

Seventh-ranked Texas (6-1, 2-1 Big 12) stills
clings to national championship hopes after a
stellar defensive effort in last week’s tough road
win at Kansas State.
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.
There are several causes for what ailsTt
