Hawaii football: Rolovich wants Warriors to turn over a new leaf for Nevada

By Brian McInnis on September 24, 2019

“Several” didn’t cut it for Nick Rolovich. The Hawaii football coach stopped a reporter who was in the process of pointing out the 3-1 Rainbow Warriors had succeeded so far despite several turnovers. “More than several,” Rolovich said after Tuesday’s practice on the artificial turf of the TC Ching Athletic Complex. UH has a turnover margin of minus-12, worst in FBS football — 130th of 130 teams. New Mexico State, the second-worst team, is minus-9 in turnover margin. UH’s 15 […]

By Ferd Lewis on September 23, 2019

University of Nevada football coach Jay Norvell is hoping it will rain on the Wolf Pack’s homecoming game Saturday against Hawaii and it looks like he might get his wish. The advance forecast calls for temperatures in the 50s and a 40 percent chance of rain for the 7:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. Hawaii time) kickoff at Mackay Stadium in Reno. “It is going to be a little colder this week, which is good,” Norvell said at his Monday press conference.

AP College Football Poll: No man is an island, unless you vote Georgia No. 1

By Dave Reardon on September 22, 2019

This week I’m out on an island. OK, yeah, that’s true every week; I live on Oahu. So unless I’m traveling or swimming in the ocean, I’m literally always on an island. But this week I’m on one figuratively, too, when it comes to the Associated Press College Football Poll. Clemson had received my first place vote from the preseason up until this week. After Georgia beat Notre Dame 23-17, I pulled the trigger after some thought and put the […]

It wasn’t exactly what Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich was looking for on this homecoming night at Aloha Stadium, but the end result didn’t disappoint.

Hawaii Football Throwbacks: FCS teams

By Brian McInnis on September 21, 2019

Hawaii pits its 16-game winning streak against FCS opponents against unbeaten Central Arkansas at Aloha Stadium today. Unlike last year’s Hawaii Football Throwbacks entry on FCS teams, there is actually a past meeting to potentially look at in this series — UH came back to beat UCA 25-20 to open the 2009 season. But, that being only 10 years ago, we’re focusing on a different game against an FCS foe today. How about the one that launched the winning streak? After […]
