From today’s practice: • The quarterback order was this: 1) Shane Austin. 2) David Graves. 3) Brent Rausch. 4) Cayman Shutter. 5) Corey Nielsen. • And while it appeared Rausch was running with the No. 2s, I was told that was not correct. But all of the QBs got pretty much an equal number of reps. • With Laupepa Letuli on light duty and Kaina LaCount’s left knee in a brace, Adrian Thomas moved from right guard to right tackle […]

College football is about, as coaches like to say, “midstream adjustments.” A player gets injured, you move on to the next. A player is ineligible, you move on to the next. With 85 players on scholarship and locker space for 115, there never seems to be a shortage of “next” players. When quarterback Tim Chang completed his eligibility, there was concern about his successor. And then somebody who would wear No. 15 came along. And, so, the Warriors will adjust […]
LIHUE — Starting quarterback Bryant Moniz is on “personal leave” and did not accompany the Warriors to today’s scrimmage on Kaua‘i, UH head coach Greg McMackin confirmed this morning.

Joey Iosefa made a big impact today in his debut as a running back. He had some powerful knock-back blocks, as well as some tough running. Iosefa, who was raised in American Samoa, was a quarterback in high school. As a grayshirt, he was a part-time student in the fall before joining the Warriors in January. He was projected to play linebacker. But Monday, he was told he would move to running back. * * * * * Who wants […]
