GameDay - Hawaii at San Jose State

Lamar Broadway and Turmarian Moreland will be the starting cornerbacks today.

Moreland intercepted a pass last week, and Broadway gets a chance at the position he worked out at his first two seasons with the Warriors before he was moved to safety.

A variety of injuries have slowed down starter Kenny Patton.

"I don't know if he's healthy or not. He hasn't practiced one lick," Glanville said.

And no matter what some UH fans say, I like Jerry Glanville.

With Christmas-morning enthusiasm, Jerry Glanville was the first to break the silence yesterday, as he hobbled toward University of Hawai'i football coach June Jones on the Hyatt San Jose's pool deck.

"Listen, I got up early and thought of this new scheme . . ." the defensive coordinator said, waving what was once a sheet of scrap paper.

"That's Jerry," Jones said. "He's always thinking up something new."

When it was suggested that his death-bed wish would be a new defensive plan, Glanville smiled and said: "I can see that. I'd have to make it a good one, too."

And so it goes for Glanville, whose game plans might as well be written in chalk. In last week's 49-28 victory over New Mexico State, Glanville overhauled the defensive strategy in the middle of the game, switching to a 4-3 scheme that was never rehearsed. Glanville's mad-scientist innovation has confounded opposing coaches.

Give him chance! He's only coached 6 games. Just wait till he starts recruiting and getting more players to fit his schemes -- the Hawaii defense will be unreal. We've already seen flashes of what it can do, in the attitude of the hard-hitting defense so far this year.

And a bit of excitement for today:

UH will unveil its new road uniforms in which the jersey numbers are easier to see.

Let's see if they end up looking more and more like the Hawaii Raiders.
