Tough Talk, Tough Loss

Coach Schnellenberger's comment, "Texas has never been a tough team", didn't help to soften the blow the Owls' BCS bowl hopes took after losing 52-10 in Austin to open the season.

Schnellenberger and quarterback Rusty Smith had high hopes after coming off the schools first bowl win in its 8 year history.



The hype of having a possible future first round pick in Schnellenberger's eyes, which I would argue are some of the best eyes for talent ever, has FAU students more involved in FAU athletics as a hole with "Less students wearing University of Miami or Florida State shirts and more wearing FAU sports clothes," accoridng to Smith.

With legend head coach Schnellenber and sixteen players on the all Sun-Belt preseason team its no wonder there's so much confidence that the Owls will live up to their hype.

Hopefully in this Saturday's home opener against UAB the Owls will be able to show the home fans that the hype is real and the more obtainable goal of defending their Sun-Belt Championship is still very reachable.
