You know some players show flashes of brilliance at the practice field but struggle on game day, while others may struggle at practice but shine under the lights on game day...
Example:
- Justin Colbert couldn't finish his 220's but show blazing speed at Wideout
- Laboy always seemed hurt or not focused in practice but game day was another story
Sometimes I feel certain members of the starting rotation (names omitted purposely) are tremendous in practice but somehow choke under pressure. Week in and week out we see same mistakes but these players still see a bulk of the playing time at their respective positions...
On the flip side, in the blowout at UTEP, I had hoped to see certain individual get playing time regardless of how they looked in practice.
Example:
Nick Rolovich, Ray Bass, Tumarian Moreland, Khevin Peoples, Timo Paepule etc.. (Maybe they weren't on the travel roster???)
BC always says, "Alignment and Assigment". But if the play makers aren't making the plays when called upon what's the difference?
I don't know, I'm not the coach, but how you figgah?
Practice vs Game Day

Phil Steele has been the most accurate magazine in predicting the Heisman winnner..... but, i guess not this year
Hawaii had to be either 10-2 or 11-1 or 12-0 to be considered for a Heisman.

WR???
Had we had receiver that could hold on to the ball is the BIGGEST PROBLEM and the root of all evil
BTW TC is among 9 finalist for the Johnny United Golden Arm Award..

Not even Leinhart (USC), Rix (FSU), Combie (Texas Tech), Berlin (Miami) made that listing...
OUR WHOLE TEAM Blew it for TC....
Is it just me or has he added more heat to his throws...
How many passes have we seen bounce off a receivers chest or throw their hands???

Bass and Moreland have been out with injuries. Moreland apparently is now healthy and back in the mix. Peoples has a knee injury and is being redshirted.
I agree that Chang's arm is stronger this year. In fact over the 5 years that he has been here, his arm has gotten stronger each year because of his off season training.
