AUSTIN (AP) - Spring football practice started a new era for the Texas Longhorns. Gone are running back Cedric Benson and linebacker Derrick Johnson, who are waiting to be drafted by the N-F-L. Their departure left coach Mack Brown trying to fill some big holes. Texas concludes spring drills tomorrow with its annual Orange & White scrimmage. Replacing Benson and Johnson are the top concerns before the season starts September third against Louisiana-Lafayette. Selvin Young, who was expected to start at tailback, has missed spring drills because of academics. Young is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered last fall. That left room for speedy Ramonce Taylor to make a move for the starting role. Defensively, middle linebacker Aaron Harris appears ready to take over the role of team leader, but is unlikely to be able to cover as much ground as the speedy Johnson did.
