Hawaii Football Throwbacks: San Jose State

By Brian McInnis on November 9, 2019

With attendance a hot-button topic lately for University of Hawaii football, let us journey back to a time when 18,000 people in the stands represented not a disappointment, but a rousing success. Back to Dec. 3, 1938, when the Rainbows defeated powerhouse San Jose State College for the first time. The Shrine game took place at the old Honolulu Stadium in front of “a wildly excited assemblage of 18,000 souls — the largest throng ever to witness a football in […]

VIDEO: Stephen Tsai talks Hawaii football with former coach Rich Miano and Hawaii men’s basketball with assistant John Montgomery

By Warrior World on November 7, 2019

Hawaii Warrior World’s Stephen Tsai interviewed former NFL player Rich Miano and University of Hawaii coach John Montgomery at the Manoa campus. In a live YouTube chat at noon Thursday, Miano discussed the remainder of the UH football schedule, attendance at home games, and his take on the team’s quarterbacks. Montgomery talked about challenges facing the team at the start of the season and recruiting, among other topics. Miano is a former NFL veteran and the former UH associate head […]

Hawaii football: Running attack shows big improvement

By Dave Reardon on November 6, 2019

For at least one week, the run was back in the University of Hawaii run-and-shoot offense. The Rainbow Warriors rushed for season highs with 209 yards and four touchdowns last Saturday. The production went for naught, though, as UH fell 41-38 to Fresno State. But the defensive coordinators of this season’s four remaining opponents — starting with Saturday’s home game against San Jose State — will surely take notice. And that could help the 5-4 Warriors as they strive for […]

Hawaii football: Rolovich to make quarterback decision later this week

By Brian McInnis on November 5, 2019

Saturday’s difficult loss to old rival Fresno State gave Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich plenty to think about. At or near the top of that list? Who his starting quarterback will be for this weekend’s battle with San Jose State. Redshirt junior Cole McDonald has started every game this season, but was lifted late against the Bulldogs for redshirt freshman Chevan Cordeiro, who helped spark the Rainbow Warriors from two touchdowns down to tie the game at 38 before Fresno drove […]

Rainbow Forecast: Basketball teams open 2019-20; football seeks bounce-back; soccer in Big West tournament

By Brian McInnis on November 4, 2019

The overlap has begun. Hawaii’s fall and winter sports seasons officially intermingle this week with the start of the 2019-20 men’s and women’s basketball seasons. Meanwhile, UH soccer plays its biggest match in years when it takes on host Cal State Fullerton in the Big West tournament semifinals on Thursday. UH volleyball, riding high after two big home wins over Big West contenders UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly, must try to follow that up with wins in its last […]

AP Top 25 College Football Poll: Plenty of ranked teams make great escapes

By Dave Reardon on November 3, 2019

When teams wins close games — especially with big plays with the game clock running down — does it mean they’re lucky, or they’re clutch? Or maybe they’re just so superior to their opponents they can play on cruise control until they need to shift gears and pull out the victory; that’s a dangerous way of doing business that can blow up in your face, and we’ve all seen it work and not work in others of life’s endeavors, right? […]

VIDEO: Fourth-quarter timeline of Hawaii football’s 41-38 loss to Fresno State

By Brian McInnis on November 3, 2019

Fair warning: This one might be tough to re-live, Hawaii football fans. Nevertheless, Warrior World’s mission is to document both the successes and shortcomings of University of Hawaii sports, and Saturday night’s 41-38 loss to Fresno State at Aloha Stadium was, unfortunately for the Rainbow Warriors, one of the latter. It was a highly dramatic fourth quarter, with the Bulldogs in the process of pulling away for a road victory before Chevan Cordeiro appeared poised to rouse the Warriors to […]

Fresno State football kicks game-winner at buzzer against Hawaii

By Warrior World on November 2, 2019

At the beginning of the year the Las Vegas oddsmakers set the win total for the University of Hawaii football team at a meager 5 1/2. Given the degree of difficulty of this year’s schedule it might have been a wise bet to take the under and live to see another day. But Rainbow Warriors quarterbacks Cole McDonald and Chevan Cordeiro have spent most of this season defying the odds trying to overcome a porous defense that is among the […]
