Play-Calling

Here's what June Jones had to say about some of the questionable play-calling during the Fresno game:

Asked why the Warriors didn't call for more running plays in the red zone, Jones indicated it was not necessary because each pass play includes high-percentage choices if operated correctly. He also said running plays offer the same risks.

"It doesn't matter if you hand the ball off," Jones said. "If you don't hit the hole, you don't score. You can second guess all you want. Whatever it is you elect to do — run or pass — you'd better do it correctly, right?"

Jones said the Warriors did not consistently hit open receivers nor did the receivers always run the correct routes in the red zone.

"Let me just say, if we did what we were supposed to do, that question would not come up," Jones said.

I still think you should hand the ball off to a hot running back (Nate Ilaoa) when you have 3rd and 1 or 4th and inches, but like he said, if the passes worked we wouldn't be talking about this. You gotta give him benefit of the doubt, most of the time, he's done so much for the UH program. But nonetheless, Sunday morning quarterbacking is always fun.

And here's some interesting and fun stats on Davone Bess and Colt Brennan:

If he continues at his current pace of 8.0 catches per game for the rest of the season, Bess breaks the standard of 7.84 set by Owens last season. Owens caught 102 passes in 13 games.

If the Warriors do not make it to a postseason game, Bess has four games to catch 38 passes to tie Owens' mark for catches in one season. That would be an average of 9.5 per game.

Colt Brennan has completed 69.1 percent of his passes; the UH record is 59.5 by Tim Chang last year.

Brennan is also on pace to match or pass Chang's season mark of 358 complete passes set in 2004. Brennan has 239 completions, which projects him for 358.5 in four more games. Brennan might have more completions if he had started the first two games.

Nick Rolovich set the single-season efficiency-rating record of 150.5 in 2001. Brennan is at 152.3.

Chang passed for 38 touchdowns last fall for the single-season school record. Brennan has 22 TD passes.

These mofos make it look too easy sometimes. They'll be fun to watch in the next few years!
