PB, you don’t happen to know what plug-in I need to install for Mozilla to listen to this thing without downloading do you? (I’m assuming that’s what the little lego block box on my screen is supposed to be.)

No idea. Loads up the player just fine for me on Mozilla.

i feel like i don’t even know you anymore.

Indeed. Best test we could hope for for the young guys.

The Longhorns will open the season with unprecedented youth in the secondary, including freshmen safeties Blake Gideon and Earl Thomas in the starting lineup.

Backing them up will be three more freshmen, all for a unit that a year ago ranked 109th nationally in passing, set school records for passing yards and touchdown passes allowed and is already breaking in a new coordinator.

Making the task even more perilous will be Florida Atlantic quarterback Rusty Smith, who passed for 3,688 yards and 32 touchdowns for the nation’s 16th most potent passing attack last season.

And did we add that the largest crowd to attend a football game in Texas state history is expected?

So it’s understandable that Brown isn’t resting too comfortable these days — getting ready for an opponent he calls the best team that has ever traveled to Austin for an opener in his 11-year coaching tenure there.

I expect a couple of huge passing plays due to breakdowns in the secondary. The question will be – how will the young guys respond? All in all a good prep session for Harrell, Daniel and co.

The Longhorns safeties got even younger Monday when junior Ishie Oduegwu had surgery to repair his injured left shoulder.

Trainer Kenny Boyd did not set a timetable for Oduegwu’s return.

The junior was the only safety with any starting experience, getting three nods in his career. He has played in 25 games.

The expected starting safeties for Saturday’s opener against Florida Atlantic are redshirt freshman Earl Thomas and freshman Blake Gideon.
