Wounded Warriors project: Giving thanks every day. * * * * * The Warriors had their first Turkey Bowl today, a scrimmage featuring redshirts and developing players. Of note: Ikaika Woolsey can wing it. He threw scoring passes of 37 and 52 yards to wideout Duke Bukoski and a 7-yard TD pass to tight end Ethan Watanabe. * * * * * Nickelback Ryan Pasoquen served as defensive coordinator: * * * * * These are the, uh, unique play […]
As Manti Mania continues to build, we are reminded that four years ago, the star of Punahou’s state-title victory was a quarterback named Cayman Shutter. Wonder what happened to that guy? * * * * * For an abbreviated (for UH) season, there sure have been a lot of injuries. Conditioning, training and practicing will have to be evaluated this offseason. Or maybe it’s just bad luck. The o-line will get another tweak with Kapua Sai taking over at left […]
Wide receiver Darius Bright has decided to end his UH football career. Bright will focus on completing work on his bachelor’s degree. He is expected to graduate in December. * * * * * Quarterback Sean Schroeder is expected to be medically cleared to play in Saturday’s game against UNLV. Schroeder suffered concussion-like symptoms on the last UH play against Air Force this past Friday. Schroeder apparently had suffered such symptoms in previous games, but did not report them to […]
Quarterback Sean Schroeder will undergo further examinations today after suffering from periodic headaches since he was struck on the final play of Friday’s game against Air Force. John Lister also left that game after one play because of a headache. Lister did not suffer a concussion and he should be cleared to play this week. * * * * * Linebacker Brenden Daley, who was left behind after being late to practice last week, has been reinstated and will compete […]
The Warriors are off today, then begin resume practicing tomorrow ahead of the final two games of the year – UNLV this Saturday, South Alabama after that — with both at home. The QB position will be “evaluated” this week. That means Jeremy Higgins will get to prove that he is more like the way he played in UH’s first four drives against Air Force than how he was in the second half; that Sean Schroeder is healthy after being […]
I’m traveling and, thus, I’m giving all of you the day off. Go to the movies. Go out to eat. Date your significant others. Play mah-jongg. Put all of your thoughts down on paper, wait eight hours, and see if you still feel the same way. Just don’t keep refreshing the page. (By the way, I get credited with views whether you comment or not.) Anyway, have a great one. Chat with you guys later.
The academy actually is its own city: Air Force Academy, Colo. * * * * * Here’s what’s at stake: * * * * * * Like all good battles, it first begins with the propaganda: * * * * * Finding Demo: * * * * * * * * * * * Jeremy Higgins becomes the eighth former Saint Louis quarterback to start an NCAA Division I game in the past 15 years. Name the other seven.
UH’s starting quarterback for the Air Force game is . . . click here. But both will play. * * * * * Best wishes to Jim Donovan, who is a finalist for the athletic director’s job at Cal State Fullerton. Link: Donovan story. * * * * * Wideout Darius Bright did not make the trip because of what is termed an issue with his Achilles’ heel. * * * * * Deepest sympathies to wideout Chris Gant, whose […]
