It’s not a stretch to say that Mack Brown knows a thing or two about what it means to be the coach of a "deep" football team. After all, it was only four years ago when he coached a team that featured Vince Young, Cedric Benson and Roy Williams in the same offense. Such tradition makes it hard to believe that this year’s squad has the potential to be the deepest of Brown’s tenure at Texas, but when all is said and done, this could well be the legacy of the 2008 Longhorn offense.
