First and Ten: Florida Atlantic Preview with Ted Hutton, Orlando Sun-Sentinel
With the arrival of the season opening game week comes the launch of BON LIVE, or, "PB records stuff for auditory consumption." We'll make use of audio and podcasting in a number of ways, but today we start with the debut of "First and Ten," a weekly 10 minute chat with a fan, blogger, or reporter about the week's upcoming game.
First up is Ted Hutton of the Orlando Sun-Sentinel, who covers Florida Atlantic and wrote this morning about how much Howard Schnellenberger loves junior quarterback Rusty Smith, both as a college player and pro prospect. Listen in for my conversation with Ted about Schnellenberger's controversial comments, the potent FAU offense, and the less-than-stellar Owls defense.

Two Freshman Safeties, One Brutal Schedule
If you spend some time looking closely at last year's stat sheets for Texas' 2008 opponents, you may well find yourself entertaining the same two thoughts that I did:
1. Holy crap the pressure on our redshirt freshmen safeties with zero game experience is going to be intense.
2. Will Muschamp is arriving not a moment too soon.
On the latter point, BZ's chapter in The Eyes of Texas 2008 will provide some relief: each of Muschamp's first years at LSU and Auburn resulted in significant improvement in the teams' pass defenses. While we thank our lucky stars Muschamp is taking over, click through the jump for a look at the challenge he faces.
