Running Back

Some crossed signals as to who's the starting running back for Hawaii tomorrow. The Star-Bulletin has an article quoting June Jones saying that Nate Ilaoa probably won't start. The Honolulu Advertiser says Ilaoa is the likely starter. Usually both papers' articles are identical, so this is a refreshing development.

The same Advertiser article discusses BSU's offensive playbook, which currently has 800 plays. Most are drawn up by offensive coordinator Chris Petersen, but some are taken from Utah, some from the Indianapolis Colts, and I'm sure other places. I wouldn't be surprised if they used plays from every single college and NFL team in the nation. No wonder their offense is so productive - they confuse the shit out of opposing defenses. I'm sure Glanville has something to counter all 800 plays though.

The Star-Bulletin also has a profile on true freshmen starters Davone Bess, Solomon Elimimian, Mike Washington and Dan Kelly. The future looks bright. The near future (Saturday) looks bright as well, though not literally, as it's supposed to be pouring rain. And it's a night game.

Ferd Lewis writes a column about his desire for Hawaii to have a rivalry with Boise State. Ferd aims to start the rivalry with yesterday's shit-talking column about BSU safety Cam Hall, accused of reckless driving and fleeing the scene of a fatal accident.
