It was announced today that the Sept. 23 Hawaii-Wyoming game in Laramie will kick off at 8:15 p.m. Mountain time (4:15 in Hawaii).

Associated Press college football poll, week two

By Dave Reardon on September 11, 2017

Here’s how I voted in the AP college football poll. Go here for the complete poll. 1. Alabama (2-0) Bama will be 48-6 under Saban against nonconference foes after it beats Colorado State. 2. Oklahoma (2-0) Tulane losing QB Jonathan Banks isn’t as bad as it would be if “Better Call Saul” lost its Jonathan Banks, but the Sooners should roll past the Green Wave regardless. 3.

OK, for the first time in 49 years, the Warriors will be playing in the famed Rose Bowl today. It is widely believed the top three quarterback prospects are in the West. The Warriors will face two of them — UCLA’s Josh Rosen today and Wyoming’s Josh Allen in two weeks — on the road. Key matchups: 1) […]

Barker returns to the Rose Bowl

By Stephen Tsai on September 8, 2017

Wideout Ammon Barker has come full circle as he prepares for tomorrow’s game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. In 2012, Barker made a verbal commitment to sign with UCLA. In November that year, he made his official visit. He stayed with the team in the hotel the night before the rivalry game against USC. He also was on the sideline for that game.

By Stephen Tsai on September 7, 2017

The Warriors practiced early this morning (6:30 a.m.) in their final home workout before their scheduled departure to Los Angeles this afternoon.
