I know this was just the first game but It was great to see Hawaii having WR’s that were not afraid to catch the ball in traffic and can juke/shake/dance for YAC. I got to give it to the WR’s JoJo Ward, Cedric Bryd, John Ursua and Marcus Armstrong-Brown. Our kickers are outstanding!!! Clutch FG and Punting! The shovel pass is back! McDonald was money, a true dual threat Colin Kapernick-like QB! Oline and RB’s did great.

It was amusing to watch CSU LB in coverage against speedy WR’s JoJo Ward, Cedric Bryd, John Ursua then get ankle breaking juked.

The Hawaii team needs to clean up the penalties, false starts/delay of game/offsides. Defense- the secondary needs help from the D-line. The D-line didn’t get much pressure on the CSU QB Carta-Samuels. The Hawaii LB’s and DB’s can only cover those WR’s for so long. To be fair the CSU WR’s did push off a lot against the Hawaii DB’s to get separation. And it did look like the secondary got gassed by the end of the 3rd quarter, from the lack of a pass rush by the D-line.

The Vader Black Helmets with the Island sticker on one side and H logo on the opposite side is a keeper. Those black helmets will look even better with the black jerseys and black pants. Nothing against the green uni’s but the black just looks menacing and has swag.

Congrats to Coach Rolo and the warriors for a hard fought road win. The O line played well all game and gave Cole the time to find the open receivers including the deep routes. The shovel pass plays looked almost as good as Colt and Nate’s connection back in 2006, and Ursua and Byrd know how to find the seams like Davone and RGM. Welcome back RnS!

Great game!!! My comments …

So if Cordeiro was listed as co-#1, does that mean he is that good? Or did Cole Mac play better than he has looked in practices? He looks like a true dual threat.

Wow Cedric Byrd!!! This Ursua/Byrd duo could be better than Bess/Grice-Mullins.

Defense was solid early. I think the comeback was partially due to altitude.

PLEASE OH PLEASE let the helmets with the Islands be permanent!!! ST, pass it on.

Freddy Holly is the starter. He can plow the field. He looks good.

Secondary defense? Does Manu-hudson Rassmussen thought he had better abs than John Ursula? Ursua took the looks. They need better pass rush. Anyone to go in.

Jalani Tavai is 24 years old. Is this a day job? Remember Norm Chow? Team rules. Or does he have an arrest warrant on him.

wonder why UH “D” suddenly went AWOL from late in the 3rd qtr and well into the 4th?

change of strategy? formations? personnel?

very surprised how well the O-Line did — that was my biggest concern.

then, the “D” — did not know what to expect with so many ‘ new ‘ coaches and how well players would adjust — for nearly 3/4s they looked great, then ??????????

it will be a pleasant ride home with the “W ” !!!

welcome, Navy!!
