NO. You take him out when he continually stalls the offense.

I’m not trying to dump on an already frustrated team and fan base, as I am just as frustrated as everyone else. But I am pretty confused that SS can come out and lead a scoring drive, that others deserve more credit for, and the head scratching decisions, throws, and 3 and out performances that more consistently describe his play are simply forgotten.

IMO, this team needs Graham back. Now that the receivers have shown they can make plays, they are ready for a QB with strong arm that can lead them past defenders.

I really don’t have an opinion on who starts, just keep throwing deep and stay away from double coverage.

Saw Graham on sideline today… In pads and was throwing before each half started with the other QBs.

I think Woosley gets about the same type of duty the rest of year. Mostly read option or the fly sweep sets with abhor were and there. He’s not ready yet to be trusted with the full offense.

Defense gave up 38 first downs… That’s unacceptable.
UNLV had 8 trips to red zone… Very bad number.
UH went 3 of 4 on red zone opportunities… Not bad, but not enough good scoring chances.
UH had 12 tackles for loss – very good number
UH surrendered 3 tackles for loss – very good number (one of which was the botched FG)

Time of possession: Hawaii 22:27 ; UNLV 37:33 — really bad number… UH needs to slow tempo down. The offense was effective most of game, but the tempo is still way too fast for this roster. They averaged a play every 18.2 seconds tonight. Oregon averaged a play every 25 seconds vs Washington today. Not counting Oregons final 8 play 6:18 drive to end game, Oregon averaged 22.6 seconds. There’s no reason why UH should be playing 4 seconds faster than Oregon’s normal pace.

UNLV amassed an astonishing 114 plays from scrimmage. UH had 74 plays, which is normally a good number, but not so good vs 114.

Kinda surprised Herring attempted 57 passes when I saw box score… Didn’t seem like he threw it that much, but most was short stuff and a ton of yards after catch.

UH gained 454 yards today, and have been over 430 the last three games. Offense is playing much better, but defense has played much worse.

UH had 10 official penalties, but several more were declined because UNLV took advantage of offsides on substitution penalties for big plays. Penalties were a factor in the game. The 15y face mask helped UNLV get into position on the final drive. Clark Evans picked up a stupid 15yarder after he was trash talking after getting whacked, which made no sense at all and also killed one drive.

Finally saw the fly sweep set implemented this week… Actually was very successful. Gant had a decent gain on the sweep, then Bowens ripped a great 30yarder on the reverse off the same setup. Then Woosley got his 40yard run on the keeper up the gut. Didn’t appear to be a read option, it looked more like a keeper all the way based on sequence of plays. That’s 75 yards off the 4 play set (one play was no gain).

Now UH has a much needed bye week to review and work on problem areas. From what I saw tonight, most issues are fixable. Just glad the losses aren’t one sided landslides like last year, where the team is helpless. Losing always sucks, but UH is fighting til the final bell. I can tell this team feels like they are really close to breaking through, they just need to believe in theirselves.
