Hawaii practice reports from fans

Continue that and we will not have an option but to delete posts or ban you.

We are working on fixing this. It affects the site in more ways than you think. This is not negotiable.
 
Unfortunately there is not. If there was an option I wouldn't care about enabling it. It matters due to advertising among other things.
 
Like I said this summer. Mixed in with our effective passing, we need a steady dose of our new, bigger O-line and Powell, Powell, Powell. No RB committee. Get ahead, eat clock. Soften up that thin, inexperienced Dline through the 3rd quarter and exploit it in the 4th.

Yes! Sounds like the old Big 12 days.

So wear out the D by using just one RB? Powell has attributes, but the other RB's have some other attributes. I am strongly behind the 2-3 RB rotation.

Shrink the playbook and hope it works. Sounds good.
 
Agree on a steady diet of running to compliment what will be a very good passing attach but do not agree that it should be one running back. Powell is a stud but I worry about durability and we will need to utilize several backs to get it done week in and week out.
 
In general, I don't mind the 2-3 back rotation. Problem is, we don't seem to get the situations right.

2nd - 16: Powell out of the I
4th - 1: Lindasy up the middle
4th - goal: double reverse pitch,
spruce to Adkins
 
I don't want to shrink the playbook, but rather adapt the playbook to exploit our opponents weaknesses. When you look at the 2015 UH team, there glaring weakness seems to be the Dline. They are young and thin.

We should rely on our effective passing attack, but in this game I think making the UH DLine work hard early will pay off later. That will open the playbook up in the second half.
 
1) I really like having Hawaii as our first opponent. It really cuts down the BS that is associated with gearing up for that "other" team that had usually been first up on the schedule.

2) does anyone know what measures will be taken to minimize jet lag and the obscenely late kickoff hour? When does the team fly out? Will there be late, late scrimages to get those young bodies used to Island time?

An 11PM Mountain kickoff is brutal.

Team flies out on Tuesday and will have a few night practices to acclimate a bit to the time and weather.
 
Just checked out of curiosity, and most of the major sports books have us as a 7.5-8 point favorite in this game. So at least Vegas likes us.
 
Will be very interesting to see what UH runs on offense.
I've felt Norm Chow was pretty meh in his days at Utah and Hawaii with his offense being outdated.
Bringing in Don Bailey to take over the offense is a big move and could mean a lot more spread offense, fast paced things. Very much suggests Norm Chow is looking to modernize the offense. Can Wittek run that? Not sure how athletic he is.
Do we see Norm Chow's pro style or Bailey's more spread style?

Do they arrive on the islands on Thursday or Friday?

Now as for we buff fans, it's probably a good idea to not report to work until 11AM this week and ask your boss, clients, and co-workers to accommodate your need to be on Hawaii time this week. Chat has got to be rocking.
