Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
On a good note. Our team exceeded my expectations. We return a whole bunch of starters next season. Our lineman will be stronger and more experienced next season. Our D will return a bunch of starters too. Our recruits during the early recruiting period looks good, I think we need some DTs though. Only 3 months till spring ball! lol
No mattah how critical, I support da coach, Rolo. I love what he doing wit Da WARRIORS.

That's really a no brainer. New O and new QB, yes, no one had game tape on our "new" system or QB, no revelation there. Almost all fans figured it would get tougher once our opponents studied our tapes.EITSwarrior wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 9:51 pmColorado St and Navy games were the best games.

Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
We need to find a really good runningback that can block. I was disappointed that we still couldn’t block their delayed blitz. I saw some receivers open but our qbs just ate the ball. The run and shoot is a good offense but we still need to block. Watching the pocket collapse made me cringe. Our qbs were in panic mode.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

Way under thrown, into double coverage, then later into a coverage blanket. but ok not as dumb lolEITSwarrior wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 8:39 pmNot dumb like Cordeiros pick. Cole just trying to make something happen down big.

I think the real answer is that Colorado State and Navy were garbage this year.

Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
Oh well, on to the off-season.
We really struggle without Ursua in there. Glad we signed two possible replacements in the early signing period.
O-line should improve with 9 months of strength and conditioning. Those freshmen that end up starting usually make a big leap from frosh to soph.
Tonight sucked but it wasn't just one thing. That bad stretch at the end of the first half really deflated the team. The refs really screwed us by not calling unnecessary roughness on that bodyslam of cordeiro after the whistle. Things just went South after that.
Crazy things happen in bowl games.

Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
This Hawaii team was deceiving. 8 wins is a great year but 7 of those wins was either against teams who were below .500, .500 or a FCS school. Only San Diego finished with a winning record (barely at 7-6). Hawaii needs to improve in order to accomplish what they did this year. In addition, the coaches will now have video on McDonald and Cordeiro and will adjust their defenses accordingly. Dont be surprised if this team takes a step back next year. This team got lucky on a few wins this year but next year the ball may not bounce like how it did this year.

You’d be surprised, or not, to hear all the fans grumble and confounded by the offensive struggles and not understand why it’s happening. And they think a simple QB change will suddenly fix the problem with the offense. SMHstranger808 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 10:02 pmThat's really a no brainer.

Sure, but Hawaii was supposed to be a sub .500 team. It was certainly a much more enjoyable season vs last year. Plus, wins at CSU and SDSU for the first time in decades. Tonight sucked, but overall it was a good year.
Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
Too much time off ... too much time for the other team to study us...
I don’t know ... the D was solid enough (good job)

Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
We're a very young team, we'll get better, but our record next season may not show it——tougher schedule.
Coach Rolo has the program on an upswing, heading in the right direction. Two bowl games in three seasons——darn great, especially after the last head coach.
The halftime interview with Rolo, I loved what he said, represented the university AND Hawaii extremely well.
Congrats to the players and coaching staff for a interesting (sometimes frustrating) and successful 3rd season!

Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
9 sacks. And our offensive coordinator had no answer regarding play calls to slow down the blitz. Real sad.

Re: *****Official HI Bowl Game Thread: UH vs LaTech*****
At least we didn't have to play Army in their bowl. They destroyed #17 Houston 70 - 14. This kind of thing will happen in a bowl game. The team is talented but inexperienced.
