Stadium:
Darrell K. Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium
As Texas football moves into the 21st century, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium continues to evolve as a state-of-the-art facility at the forefront of college football. Expansion plans are already in place for the north end zone, which will feature and upper deck, club seating, an academic center and a war memorial plaza for the 2008 season. The expansion is expected to increase the stadium’s capacity to over 90,000, and add approximately 2,000 club seats and 44 suites. More immediately, two major upgrades have been made for the 2006 season, including a new video board and temporary bleacher seating in the south end zone, which has expanded the stadium's capacity by over 4,000 seats to a total of 85,123.

Season Preview:
Texas, being Texas, is certainly in line to not only contend for the Big 12 title, but probably be rated as the favorite after Oklahoma was hit with deeper losses in personnel. With sophomore Colt McCoy already a proven performer at quarterback, the biggest issue for the Longhorns could be to re-tool a defense that crumbled late in the 2006 season and was susceptible to the pass. With trick plays so instrumental in college football, Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis promises to look at more gadgets and run them in critical situations. During the offseason, Davis recognized the Longhorns went stale a few too many times last season, though the tendency that caught his eye most was that the Longhorns scored on 38 percent of their drives, but when the quarterback was sacked, that average dropped to a mere 2 percent. That's important to remember as Texas replaces three starting linemen. The secondary returns just one starter, S Marcus Griffin, from a group that was highly talented, yet vastly overrated, last season as the Longhorns ranked 99th nationally in pass defense. Texas likes the array of defensive backs it can choose from, though the position battles will continue into fall. Linebacker was also considered a weakness last season, but the talent pool is deep and could feature Sergio Kindle, who never got untracked on a bum ankle last season as a true freshman. Texas did not settle on a kickoff return man during spring drills, but is looking for a burner to capitalize on the ball now being spotted at the 30-yard line for kicks. Candidates are Quan Cosby, Jordan Shipley, Deon Beasley and Jamaal Charles. Ryan Bailey returns as field goal kicker, though Texas must audition new punters and will choose between Trevor Garland and Justin Moore.
