St Louis “run and shoot” offense, man I miss the days the Warriors WR ran clean routes, speed burners, juke defenders out of there shoes and can actually catch passes… Since the loss of Ursua, we have a bunch of possession WR’s. Collie has shown flashes that he has what is takes to be a game changer.

Dru Brown has lost his edge, I can’t explain it. Dru sits in the pocket and hands the ball of to Diocemy. Last season Dru would take off running when a play breaks down, now Dru takes sits in the pocket, takes sacks or live to play another down throw aways. The coaching staff turned Dru Brown from a playmaker into a game manager.

It’s no wonder Hawaii lack scoring, the depth chart has a severe drop in talent level due to the negative “Rainbow” effect in recruiting. Then stop Dru Brown from being a playmaker when things breakdown into a game manager and watch the offense stall. Yes, the O-line penalties and playing this run, run, pass, punt play calling doesn’t help either.

I’m afraid that this coaching staff will do what the old Norm Chow coaching staff did and thats take a square peg and try to fit into a round hole. Dru Brown, UCF QB Milton McKenzie and that St Louis QB Chevan Cordeiro are play maker type QB’s, not game managers. They will run the play called and when it break down they improvise with the arm or legs, play makers.

Yes, UCF has Scott Frost as their Head Coach but he also recognized the talent Milton McKenzie as a play maker and let Milton run the play and improvise. Did Milton throw some Interceptions and fumble the ball this season, yes. But UCF is undefeated and putting up points like Hawaii was with June Jones and the play maker QB Colt Brennan.

This BYU game is going to be like the Fresno, San Diego State and Colorado State games if Rolo, Smith and Stutz keep Dru Brown bottled up and game manager or put in McDonald which will limit the play book (Game Manager). If Rainbows play game manager, Run, Run, Pass punt.

BYU 51
Rainbows 17

If Rolo, Stutz, Smith lets Dru Brown be a play maker that he naturally is.

BYU 41
Rainbows 40

Good luck to Diocemy St Juste get that record.

Victory finally came to UH during the Bob Wagner and Paul Johnson’s flex spread option offense era. Routed BYU in a shocker, and then two times later. The intensity of the rivalry dimmed somewhat after that, I think… and faded more when Edwards retired. Plus, we were not together in the WAC anymore.

But the old-timers remember the intense rivalry and sold out UH-BYU games of the 80’s. I do. Going to the game tomorrow–after all, we are playing BYU. If they hand us another frustratingly close loss again, maybe the rivalry can rebuild. But I hope for the UH 56, BYU 14 score to repeat.

Yup, #1 H-Man, what a ball game!
