Texas Still Favored In Southwest Conference Preview
Texas remains the top SWC pick in a multi-state college football preview. Analysts note Texas loses key backs James Saxton and Jack Collins, plus quarterback Mike Cotten, with only three starting linemen returning, yet coach Darrell Royal fields 26 lettermen and depth at quarterback and running back. The Longhorns boast a stout defense and potential noted in junior tackle Scott Appleton as a standout, giving Texas an overall strong outlook despite turnover. Other contenders like Arkansas, Texas A M, Texas Christian, Rice and Baylor are seen as threats but carry larger question marks.

Pro Charts TANASCO RUNNING Got make up mind who'll be J. D. Smith's partner
Kilmer makes all-purpose threat as C R Roberts grows bigger and faster. Keith Luhnow could join, while Smith remains a top yardage man and Bodie the No. 1 back with Waters as relief. Brodie shows scram bling and arm, still young. Johnson may replace Owens at flanker with Stickles and Thomas contesting for spread. McFarland adds surprise. Offensive line experiments include Bosley filling Morze and Lakes stepping to tackle. Clark moves to offense, with Clark Miller and Winter providing depth. Defense features Clark at tackle, Nomellini and Rohde on flank, Colchico at end, and Kammerer starting at guard. Secondary includes Baker, Ridlon at safety, McClellan, Woodson, Dover, Mertens. Summary notes potential to explode but defense must prove consistency.
