Live football blog: Hawaii vs. San Jose State

No excuses we need this now. Quite honestly we have shown ability to jump on somebody big and early. This needs to be that game with a strong finish. Every single offensive down is gold. GoWarriors!!!!

Go Bows!! 🌈

Be interesting to see how many yards SJSU will have at the half. There’s really no stopping g them on a consistent basis.

Hawaii lines up with a NT and what appears to be two DEs split wide. How do you stop an inside run with this alignment?

sdsu looked so bad at home against unlv, i’m not surprised that they lost at home against nevada. hey, team cordero, you’re right. this is the guy. i hope cole sees the field again, but obviously, chevan earned another start. so relaxing, this game. i can’t believe hawaii is still alive for the championship game.

Army will be toughest of the remaining three. Option running and a passing attack. The offense will have to win it cause bafoon’s crew ain’t stopping the cadets attack

Army may be the toughest team, but playing UNLV on the road is the toughest game. Hawaii always struggles in Vegas.

Noa Kamana looked good in what looked like Sanitoa’s role. And Paul Scott will be BEAST next year.

Chevan throws a more accurate ball consistently, has elite spatial vision, better than average reading defenses (as a redshirt freshman) and could be a WR in the RnS offense with his quick feet and hips.

Cole has a bigger arm, better than average spatial vision, better than average at reading defenses and elite level in-line speed like Colin Kapernick. Like Kapernick, Cole has issues with consistent accuracy.

Colt Brennan is the pinnacle of what a RnS/RPO QB should be… Elite accuracy, live better than average arm, elite at reading defenses, elite spatial vision (which aids in throwing accuracy), better than average runner (quick feet, decent hips and above average in-line speed)

Both Cole and Chevan have the hearts of Warriors and are fearless competitors and they bring different type of attributes to the game. But both are winners and could start at pretty much any D-1/FBS level college, no question.

I think Hawaii has a great problem to have these 2 Warriors on the roster and I will let the coaches and players decide which one should play against which opponent. Seriously, none of us know the medical condition of Cole or Chevan at any given time or the type of scheme Rolo and the Hawaii coaches are planning to deploy with either Cole or Chevan or both against any given opponent.

The one thing we know is Rolo likes to play head games with opponent coaches, like misinformation, gambling on 4th down and trick plays.

I don’t appreciate this morning’s Star-Advertiser front page banner stating “A FRESH START” for the Warriors.

This season’s effort Continues. Warriors are on their way.

chevan cordeiro has a quicker release and makes much better reads and decisions than cole. cole is physically bigger and has a bigger arm but none of that matters without the decision making and accuracy. i think rolo knows who should be the starting qb moving forward.

15. In the 2nd quarter, the UH offense gave SJSU the ball on the UH21 due to a fumble. The UH defense stopped the Spartans in 3 plays and minus 5 yards, so they had to kick a 43 yd FG. They had to kick 4 FG’s in the game…. 12 pts is better than 28 pts.

Getting a little ahead of ourselves, but …. if UH beats UNLV on Saturday and then meets SDSU with a chance of clinching the MWC West Division title, the school should have a pep rally to excite and incentivize the students, then offer discounts in the less-desirable seating areas as was done for the Oregon State game. If that doesn’t add several thousand to the crowd count, then they’ll need to be some changes starting with next season.

Yeah they should do some type of deal with the high school students. If they show their high school IDs they get extra cheap tickets or something. I also never understood why they don’t have more small local business vendors or food truck type of businesses sell at the stadium. Charge them a fee for space rent and let them sell their food rather than the below average stadium food

UNLV is rested and has skill at a lot of offensive positions. The true strength of the Warrior team is the OL, not only talent but depth. Have to exploit that this week. No way UNLV can halt putting up 28 plus points from us. Now key is how to stop them. They are actually pretty good at stoppingg themselves. Nothing else matters but getting there and winning at a place that has haunted us. Again storm the 9th Island and burn the boats! GoWarriors

I think a DC would have an easier time game planning for Chevan than Cole. I feel like Chevan is still not real comfortable from the pocket yet, But you could see the O-line put in some “extra” effort in his protection just like Wyoming game last season.

Kind of different (for O-line and WR’s, even us the fans) when you know the QB can extend the play somehow. Awesome. But I think (you can see it) Chevan’s instinct is to break from the pocket after first progression. That’s not always good. Rolo was in the process of breaking that habit and staying tight. He can do it now, albeit with some discomfort and the (taxing) need for full focus from O-line.

Make sure Cole is ready to go and give him good checkdown options (since his play extension is based from the pocket) and full focus protection too. Different from Chevan. Awesome too. Just needs to run more, trust the run game, and trust the pre snap. Can do

I think Batoon need to recruit a “space eater” 1 technique so Taala can occupy other areas along the defensive front. I know he likes speed and he made Akoteu and Russell lose weight but to not have a 320 pounder available is bad, Maybe that player doesn’t need to be in the platoon rotation but at least have one in case you need him on goal line or obvious running packages (Air Force game). Can always use him on special teams too. Get one about 6-2 to 6-4 315 to 330 if can. If you cant pass rush with the DL at least stop the run.

Rolo needs to grt to brass tacks with some of his Assist. Coaches. I dunno if all UH players are leaving it all on the field (which they NEED to do) after every game—they’re all smiling jacks, not exactky discombobulated after a game.

To Batoon . . Rolo needs to tell, “Batoon, don’t wait for the recruits you want to have. Don’t think of them as ‘from Coach Chow.’ That is simply counterproductive. Chevan showed how the run-and-shoot works. Your defense guys are off the field long enough to recover, for you to come up with a game plan while Chevan is slow-roasting the competition. No excuses now.”

To Stutzman . . . Rolo gotta tell him, “uh. You left something out of your daily reports to me on Chevan? You got me starting with McDonald every week here. We might have been Washington with Cordeiro starting. Come on now.”

The fans are right.

Rolo might have to be like President Trump and fire certain Assist. coaches at end of season. My God.

#37: Thanks for sharing, Kawika. Interesting how the initial cost of the facility went from $22 million to $35 million in a matter of three years. Can someone say, “rail”? It’s a huge commitment from the school and an impressive facility built on 95 percent community dollars. That’s Rolo’s dream … in the lower campus practice field area near the dorms. Anyone got a spare $10 million to kick off fund-raising?

Our weak link this season seems to be the LBs. They should be the main tacklers and play makers. The line’s job is to take up blockers so the LBs can clean up. There seems to be lack of a big play LB like Tavai.
I hope Penei, Darius Muasau and Isiah Tufaga will be the 3 LBs next season. They all have size and speed. Matautia does not seems to have much foot speed and Pritchard is more of a inside LB type and does not possess sideline to sideline speed. Paul Scott can run but he is a little on the small side.

No easy games left for Warriors. Every game will be tough and close. Coming down the homestretchie, does the Warriors turn on the adrenaline or fold like a poker hand? If they want the divisuin crown, it is there and they will determine their destiny. Will watch and follow their destiny

I can kind of see why Rolo wanted Chevan to start. The sole reason was because of the way that SJSU’s Josh Love was playing, especially after the way SJSU gave Boise State all they handle. Not to mention, because of Cole’s performance against Fresno, especially where he only threw for 50 percent of his passes, especially the errant passes he dealt with (And missed).
And with the chance to a bowl game at risk, it was clear and evident that Rolo didn’t want to suffer another disappointing loss and make the road even more difficult, especially to a semi-losing team (And possibly a bowl contender). There’s no line in the sand, but at this point, thanks to the SJSU victory, with losses from Fresno and SDSU, there’s still hope for us now to be back in conference championship contention. At that point, all they need is one more win to qualify for a bowl berth, and maybe more for Rolo’s 2nd winning season.
Hopefully, luck will be on their side against UNLV, in which won’t be easy, much like in Reno, in which they haven’t won in 2007. But if the defense can continue to get stronger and better after this, they might have a chance to win.

Would cole be looked at as a receiver in the pro rankings?

51 – 24.

Us, naturally. We are going to win big in LV!
