After a delay of more than 10 hours, the Rainbow Warriors departed LAX en route to Utah. With the 2-hour flight, 1-hour bus ride and 1-hour time change, they are scheduled to arrive at the hotel in Logan at about 2 a.m. Saturday — 12 hours ahead of kickoff for the game against Utah State. The Warriors were initially scheduled to depart LAX at noon on a charter flight. But the shootings at the airport forced a shutdown. The Warriors […]
The Rainbow Warriors depart this afternoon for Los Angeles on the first leg of a two-game, 10-day road trip. They will stay overnight in L.A., then tomorrow travel by charter flight to Ogden and then by buses to Logan. Joey Iosefa is one of five running backs on the 64-player travel roster. Samson Anguay, who moved from slotback, counts as part of the running back group. The others are Diocomey Saint Juste, Steven Lakalaka and Marcus Langkilde. There will be […]
Two walk-ons — center Brenden Urban and kicker Ceejay Santos — are on the tentative 64-player travel roster for the two-game, 10-day road trip against Utah State and Navy. Urban, who has played well on scout team this fall, provides the Rainbow Warriors with an extra lineman for the practices between the two road games. Santos is Tyler Hadden’s understudy on kickoffs and point-kicking attempts. * * * * * Kickoff returner Bubba Poueu-Luna has a hamstring injury and will […]
Samson Anguay is expected to move to running back today as the Rainbow Warriors try to expand their options on offense. Now fully healed after two knee surgeries, Anguay has regained his quickness and quick-cut moves. He’s also a very aggressive blocker. This is Anguay’s second stint at running back. He was there early in training camp before moving back to receiver. * * * * * Avis has selected Not Nasti as the winner of the T-shirt. Please e-mail […]
We could sit around and dissect the first seven games of this UH football season. We could weigh in on the Sean Schroeder-Taylor Graham debate. We could even try to look up the weather in Logan, Utah. To all those, this blog host says: Nah. Instead, Let’s have a contest. (Jesse) James designed and donated this T-shirt: Please post: Tee it up! Avis will choose a winner.
After last night’s homecoming loss, when yet another comeback literally fell incomplete, the Rainbow Warriors are left to ponder: • Sean Schroeder or Taylor Graham? • The Warriors feel the need to run, but the running game needs help, mostly likely a set-up from the passing game. • The Warriors have struggled exiting the intermission. On the opening drives of the third quarter, they average 3.4 plays for 6.0 yards and 1 minute, 14 seconds of possession time. Their overall […]
Not sure how to spell the sound of a whistle — tweeeeet? — but the second half of the Rainbow Warriors’ regular season starts today. Will things be different? Better? Share your thoughts. Share your updates. Share your updated thoughts.
Coach Norm Chow announced that quarterback Sean Schroeder will take the first UH snap in tomorrow’s homecoming game against Colorado State at Aloha Stadium. Chow said there will be roles crafted for Woolsey and Graham against CSU. The quarterbacks were notified of the plans this week. It will be Schroeder’s second consecutive start officially, although he probably should have been credited as the starter for the San Jose State game. In the opening formation, Ikaika Woolsey was at quarterback and […]
