Padello is a stud

[Kahaluu Imua Warriors]

We all know great Tavi is being 7th in the nation in total combined tackles (assuming the stats are properly updated) and career tackles but Kaimana is 12th in the national in sacks and 3rd nationally in total yards loss by sack. AND HE ONLY PLAYS HALF THE TIME! He is a game changer. Would of had another sack tonight if he wasn’t held around his neck by the OTackle. A no call. If you cause a fumble in the backfield is that considered a sack or no?

Not to mention his quarterback hurries. They had to double him using their runningback which is probably their best offensive player.

Hard to believe the brahdahs a walk-on. In the last possession for the Cowboys, Padello AND Choi made big plays, they're a couple of our walk-ons. Nice job coaches in identifying their talent.

It's funny that his older brother KK was the one who was unstoppable in high school for basically the same thing Kaimana is doing at the D1 college level. Being too damn quick for the OL to block him

The coaches made a darn good choice to give this hard working young man a scholarship! He was a big difference maker against Wyoming. He has character to have played so hard being a walk-on.

[Irse]

He was great last night. He kept the pressure on.

[dakineguy]

He is doing a great job as are several players on defense. I love our defense this year.

Heard on the broadcast last night that Padello is leading the MWC in sacks thus far. Thats awesome. Hawaii's own version of Rudy. We will need him and the rest of the D to get it together for the remaining stronger teams left on the schedule. That and Lady Luck on our side.

Not quite. The real (not movie version) Rudy got in on three plays in the last game of Notre Dame's season that year. Kaimana played all 86 defense downs against San Jose State, and in every game so far this year. But nice thought. Hawaii has other Rudy's who never get to play.

Wyoming had to double team him in the second half. The OT and RB were on him and he still was creating havoc.

Updated stats. Kaimana is #2 in country with 7 sacks and #1 in sacks yards lost. He would be tied for #1 in sacks if he didn’t unselfessly went for the strip instead of a clean and easy sack. Go Warriors! Let the pitbull loose against the big BYU line. They won’t know what hit them.

In the ESPN website under “Stats” they show 6 key top five lists for college football. Hawaii has 3 players as #2 in 3 of theses lists. Haven’t seen that since Colt days. Good job team! But of course the only stat that counts is the win - loss column and we ain’t doing bad in that stat either. I’m feeling good about this team and feeling good about this weekend. Warriors 40 Cougars 28.

According to Rich Miano on the broadcast, he tweeted the assistant coaches to get on the team, then he tweeted Rolo and was able to walk-on. What a story.

[cabanalane]

He reminds me of Mike Tressler. He was in my class at KCC. I was on a group project with him. I didn't even know he had an interst in football.
