Hawaii Football Throwbacks: New Mexico

By Brian McInnis on October 26, 2019

Hawaii football’s all-time series with New Mexico has been one of the more unique of any between UH and a current or former conference opponent. UH, which leads it 14-10, had a nine-game winning streak against the Lobos spanning 1983 to 1991. But UNM has since won seven straight, including the last three in Albuquerque, site of today’s game. UH hasn’t won in the land of “Breaking Bad” since Oct. 10, 1987, a 41-31 defeat of the Lobos. The meetings […]

Hawaii football: Let’s play 2 with New Mexico State

By Stephen Tsai on October 25, 2019

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. >> The Cloud was a great idea. (I’m not sure how it works, but I haven’t lost a selfie yet.) The Impossible Burger also is a winning idea. (Tastes like beef, but no cows are harmed in the production? Sign me up.) But the decision for UH and New Mexico State to meet in a home-and-home in the same 2021 season? Um, well, it’s not the Cloud or Impossible Burger. I know it’s tough to find opponents in […]

Hawaii football: Jared Smart, UH look to make heady plays

By Dave Reardon on October 23, 2019

If he could, Jared Smart would trade every one of those 11 catches and 140 yards receiving Saturday for a win against Air Force. “No doubt, definitely,” said Smart, a 6-foot, 190-pound junior who posted career highs in the University of Hawaii’s 56-26 loss to the Falcons. The junior college transfer has 43 receptions for 417 yards and one touchdown in his first year at Manoa. But the Warriors might need similar production again from Smart if they are to […]

Hawaii football: Opportunities arise with Stovall gone

By Brian McInnis on October 22, 2019

Slotback Melquise Stovall was one of Hawaii’s most productive players in blowout losses the last two weeks. The Rainbow Warriors hope they can find someone else to match that productivity in their coming games — ideally in victories. Stovall was dismissed from the team on Monday, UH announced, in the wake of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the 56-26 loss to Air Force on Saturday. Head coach Nick Rolovich is looking for the next man up in the receiving corps for […]

Hawaii football: New Mexico suspends starting quarterback

By Ferd Lewis on October 22, 2019

For the third consecutive game the University of Hawaii will face an opponent’s backup quarterback. And, the Rainbow Warriors didn’t even have to knock the previous starter out of the game this time. Four days before it is scheduled to play the University of Hawaii, New Mexico announced today that it has suspended its starter, senior Sheriron Jones. Jone is suspended “indefinitely,” head coach Bob Davie said at today’s press conference in Albuquerque, N.M.,where the 2-5 Lobos (0-3 conference) play […]

Rainbow Forecast: Hawaii football regroups for New Mexico, volleyball heads back out, soccer has senior week

By Brian McInnis on October 21, 2019

Hawaii’s three primary fall sports — football, women’s volleyball, and soccer — are coming off drastically different outcomes heading into this week’s Forecast. The UH football team is reeling a bit coming off a 56-26 home loss to Air Force, and that was followed up by Monday’s news that receiver and return man Melquise Stovall was dismissed from the team. The Rainbow Warriors (4-3, 1-2 Mountain West) are at a pivotal moment of their season heading up to Albuquerque, N.M., as an […]

Warrior Beat: Melquise Stovall no longer on Hawaii football team

By Stephen Tsai on October 21, 2019

One of the Mountain West Conference’s top returners is no longer on the University of Hawaii football team. Head coach Nick Rolovich confirmed that Melquise Stovall, a fourth-year junior from Lancaster College, has been removed from the active roster. “There are certain expecatations required of a football student-athlete here at the University of Hawaii,” Rolovich said. “We hold all our student-athletes to these standards and expect them to represent our football program to the highest degree. We wish Melquise the […]

AP College Football Poll: Badgers and Broncos beaten for first time, drop in rankings

By Dave Reardon on October 20, 2019

Another week, and another top-10 unbeaten falls. This time it’s Wisconsin. After losing to 30-point-underdog Illinois, 24-23, the Badgers dropped from No. 6 to 13th overall and from third to 12th on my ballot in the Associated Press College Football Poll. Wisconsin lacked a knockout punch after never trailing and going ahead 20-7 early in the third quarter. If anything, it punched itself out. On its last four possessions, the Badgers missed a field goal, settled for a field goal […]
