Nevada is certainly no slouch when playing at Mackay Stadium. The Wolf Pack have a 15-game home winning streak which is tied for third longest in the country, and though the Warriors lead the overall series 8-7, they are only 1-4 in games played in Reno.

Hoping to change those fortunes for Hawaii, while also warming up its bench in what is expected to be near-freezing temperatures with strong winds, the Warriors believe they have rekindled a fire that has been missing from recent games.

"There's just a new fire (after losing to Utah State)," quarterback Bryant Moniz said. "Guys just trying to push other guys to do something, trying to keep the tempo at a high tempo and get things done; instead of just lollygag around practice. So I think we're going in the right direction now for our last four games."

Shouldn't they have done this after the embarassing UNLV loss?

that's just freakin annoying. guys lolly gagging around practice? it goes back to coaching. they can't get the players motivated.

Geez what? better they just act the same? You guys so negative

[Irse]

[Kama'aina UH]

It certainly does go back to coaching.

[Irse]

At some point, players got to have to motivate themselves.

[rocket808]

Players are motivated by the motivation of their leaders.
the fact moniz used lollygag seals the deal to make coaching changes. I don't blame any of the players. I'm sure they are all pretty good.

I hear Mike Leach is looking for a job.
