They certainly have the offense, in theory, to give UH some headaches. Here's a profile on NMSU head coach Hal Mumme and his "Air Raid" offense.

And Nate Ilaoa wants to play despite injuries.

Despite not practicing this week because of a "turf-toe" injury — sprained big toe on his right foot — UH running back Nate Ilaoa vowed to play against New Mexico State.

"I'll be able to go," he said. "It's football. You've got to go."

But coach June Jones was not convinced, and freshmen Mario Cox and David Farmer are prepared to rotate at running back.

Looks like the silver and white road uniforms will be updated to get rid of some of the silver:

When Hawaii plays at San Jose State a week from Saturday, the Warriors' numbers will be easier to see. But some of the detail in their uniforms will be gone.

Nike, which provides UH's uniforms, will provide white jerseys that have black numbers and "Warriors" across the front.

UH's new white jerseys with silver numbers became an issue because the numbers were difficult to read for broadcasters, spotters and stat crews.

"We don't have them in hand yet, so we don't want to say too much," UH spokeswoman Lois Manin said.

As Jim Leahey used to say, it should look "DELICIOUS!"
