I missed most of the second half and was surprised to learn the Sun Devils lost. They were in control of the game.

Also ASU lost to USC today but Sun Devil RB Rachaad White was very impressive. We lost a tight recruiting battle for him when ASU came in with a late offer. He certainly would have been a difference maker.

Anyone watch the Liberty – Va Tech game? With the game tied 35-35, Liberty’s field goal attempt was blocked and returned by Va Tech for an apparent TD with just seconds left in the game. Hold on, TD called back. Va Tech called time out before the snap, Liberty retains possession and make their field goal attempt from around 50 yards for a 38 -35 win and a 7-0 record. BTW, this is Liberty’s second season in the FBS.

BYU is so physical up front both sides. Legit. Hawaii should be as dominant at least on paper. Real perplexing, especially with the UH O-line. Going to have to step it up starting tomorrow. Can do.

Well, according to the betting oddsmakers, Warriors are a clear favorite (-15.5). Not saying Warriors won’t win, but they need to be ready for a battle. Only downer is I’ll be listening on KKEA 1420.

I remember playing pick up basketball with Ikaika Alama-Francis in Kailua way back when. He told us he was quitting basketball (he was on the Men’s BB roster at the time) and it was the last time we would see him playing with us. When he told us he was going on a weight gaining program to play Football we thought he was joking (he was skinny). But he put on weight pretty fast. First LB weight, then 4-3 DE weight, then 3-4 DT weight. Then 2nd round NFL draft pick. Changing your body is possible. Hard to believe but totally possible.

I think it’s difficult for the average fan (like most of us here) to conceive that somebody who is pretty good is just so unusable in a certain system. Its hard to wrap your head around it sometimes. Weird, but we’ve seen it happen often over the past few seasons. Even now.

Kalakaua Timoteo was somebody who I thought would be pretty good. He might have been a victim of the improper fit for the “improvised” scheme Rolovich used 2016 (pre snap difficulties?). When Dylan Collie was more effective it surprised me. Timoteo was so superior athletically.

Jeremy Moussa comes to mind as well. He had such a pretty release and threw such a nice deep ball. At the time (after seeing him in mop up vs Fresno St. 2018) I was hoping that Rolo could move McDonald to WR/Flex TE 2019 but in the end Moussa wasn’t a RNS fit. Too bad. Imagine he and Corderio as a tandem in this deep passing system. Not stoppable?

Trevor Davis also comes to mind. Just deemed so unusable by Norm Chow. I can’t imagine how you can’t fit a talent like that into your system. IDK. Terrible.

Keala Santiago was someone who made some pretty good plays and seemed like he hadn’t reached his “ceiling” coming off a good soph season, Didn’t really seem to fit in Batoon’s elaborate personnel packages so he left too.

Guys like Derek Thomas, Mason Vega and maybe Kahahawai-Welch and Ritner looks like scheme casualties as of now. Hopefully they can change body type or something. Padello was almost overlooked until Suianoa got desperate vs BYU 2016. I hope they all get a chance (Thomas seems to have a role). Good luck to them.
