Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Let's not dwell on the bad stuff, that's for the coaches to worry about! Let's focus on the good stuff, not stuff like this:

Nine of the Warriors' 10 possessions trespassed into FSU territory. But of the eight drives in the red zone — between the FSU 20 and end zone — the Warriors managed two field goals and (one touchdown).

That'll just make you mad and depressed, and that's bad for the constitution.

So here's a good story. Davone Bess tied the UH record for most receptions in a game with 14 yesterday. He made a couple of amazing catches. And he's just a freshman!

And here's some stats as compared to the rest of the nation, via the NCAA and Yahoo Sports and ESPN.

Hawaii's offense:

3rd in passing with 375.4 yards per game
114th in rushing with 79.63 yards per game (!!!)
18th in total offense with 455 yards per game
27th in scoring with 27.13 points per game

Hawaii's defense:

101st in total defense with 432 yards allowed per game
111th in scoring defense with 36 points allowed per game
But believe it or not, I think the defense is much better than last years! Wow!

Colt Brennan's stats:

2nd in passing yards with 2777 yards total and 347.1 per game
2nd in total offense with 362 yards per game
3rd in completion percentage with 69.1%
3rd in touchdown passes with 22
17th in QB efficiency with a rating of 152.3

Davone Bess' stats:

4th in receptions with 8 per game
21st in yards with 95.88 per game

Turmarian Moreland's stats:

T-2nd in the nation with 4 interceptions (which have all come in the last three games)

Some pretty good stats there, for the most part, but alas UH is now 3-5. Nonetheless, looking forward:

The Warriors dropped to 3-5 with yesterday's loss and now need to win their final four games to be bowl-eligible. "Stranger things have happened," head coach June Jones said. "Nobody thought we'd win four at the end of last year."

I for one am keeping the faith! Go Warriors!
