If Rolo is going with a pure RnS offense then 6’3″ 210lbs QB Jeremy Moussa would probably be the starter from day one, with that a big live arm. Moussa has been with the Warriors since spring and has a little more time learning the playbook and working with the team than Chevan.

But since Rolo is favoring a combo offense of RPO and RnS, that favors Cole and Chevan due to the athletic needs to get the defense to believe that the QB will actually be a threat to run at any given moment. Not saying that Moussa doesn’t have mobility because he does, even Tom Brady will take off and slide when he has no other choice but to run.

Bottom line, I expect Cole McDonald to start the Colorado State game and with a pretty new O-line he will have to use his legs and experience to keep plays alive and keep himself upright.

Early this season, I expect the offense to struggle and lean on the defense to keep Hawaii in games. And the Hawaii defense will eventually tire out from being on the field way too much in games. Once the QB situation is settled and the O-line has time to gel, the WR’s get on the same page as the eventual starting QB. The Hawaii Offense will come alive and not leave the Hawaii Defense hanging out to dry.

Barring any major injuries, I expect the offense and defense to be firing on all cylinders by the San Jose State game. By the SJSU game we should know how good this seasons team will be and give us glimpse of what to expect in 2019 as well.

Potentially good news for Trayvon Henderson, Bengals released their starting safety of the last 4 years, George Iloka, this weekend.

Less than one week until the Colorado State game. It would be nice if CSU got overconfident. With UH’s 0-4 record since 2000, and it being a home game for them, they might just do that; UH-CSU: 21-51 (2017, Home), 22-49 (2014, Away), 28-35 (2013, Home), 27-42 (2012, Away).

24.
“…. It is going to be a little more difficult than in the old days. Back when June was here not everyone was running four receivers, so what you’ll see now is defenses a lot more familiar with the formations and defenses a lot more well prepared for the route adjustments than 15 years ago. ”
(Ron Lee in today’s paper).

#24 Paniolo….more than a few: One, and I have actual memories as we played them—Jamelle Holloway in 1985 (UOKL), Dan Marino (PITT), Rick Leach (Michigan), Terrelle Pryor (OSU), Peyton Manning (TENN), Matt Barkley (USC)…..etc….

So it begins. Wait all year long for this. Will be severely disappointed if the Warriors aren’t amped up hair on fire ready to give CSU some of what we ate at their expense last year. No reason no excuse not to come out physical and stay that way all 4 quarters-I do know one thing this staff is a major upgrade as far as assessment coaching teaching and prep-now it’s leadership and grit by those on the field. Optimistic-go Warriors!!$

I really believe since Warrior head coach Nick Rolovich has resurrected the “RUN AND SHOOT” offense, he will go with the quarterback who was literally born with that offense – Chevan Cordeiro. I can’t think of any freshman quarterback locally or on mainland College football schools was ever successful in their first year. So I might be wrong about the starting quarterback.

Dejon Allen and Jerrol Garcia-Williams both played well albeit that it was 2s and 3s. Both have a chance. JGW got pt last year mostly on ST. Those depth charts vary greatly and some are dated CBS sports had D Allen as #2 LT. He has not played that position in pre-season. Hi best shot appears to be practice squad-NFL teams only carry 9 OL the bears have at least 15 on preseason roster-
