Tyler Graunke went from the abyss to the bliss in leading the Hawai’i football team to a breathtaking 36-17 victory over Weber State last night at Aloha Stadium.
Graunke entered at the start of the third quarter, when the Warriors trailed 17-7.
He then led the Warriors to touchdowns on four of their next five possessions to make it 36-17.
It was a remarkable comeback for both the Warriors, who opened with a 56-10 road loss to Florida last week, and Graunke, who did not make that trip.
Graunke was held out of team activities for most of the preseason while he tried to resolve academic issues. He fulfilled those obligations a week before the Florida game, but did not participate in passing drills until this past Tuesday.
