Bluuuue-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooowooooo

One day away from the battle on the smurf turf!

Stephen Tsai writes about the injuries on defense UH is having to deal with. He also has a short profile on Boise State running back Ian Johnson.

Johnson, who rushed for 240 yards and five touchdowns against Oregon State, is third nationally in scoring (14.0 points per game), fifth in rushing (149.33 yards per game) and eighth in all-purpose running (156.33 yards per game).

Let's hope the UH defense stays healthy because they will have their hands full with Ian. UH stopped Bama's Ken Darby and the UNLV rush, but then again, Darby is ranked 99th in the nation in rushing while UNLV is 92nd in rush offense. So this will be a test!

Kalani Simpson writes that it's time to finally get a WAC win over Boise. He starts off the column sounding like the Cat in the Hat.

IT'S time to erase the memory of 69-3. It's time to remove that taste.

It's time for this team to win this game at that place.

I thought he was gonna rhyme the column all the way through. But he goes on to write that this is the team to take UH to the next level.

Dave Reardon and Jason Kaneshiro write that defensive back Guyton Galdeira and offensive guard Laupepa Letuli made the trip to Boise.

Neither player accompanied the team to Alabama to open the season. They got their first action in last week's win over UNLV at Aloha Stadium.

Galdeira made the 60-player travel squad for his play on special teams. Letuli is the backup to starting left guard Hercules Satele and has also worked his way onto special teams as well.

Jason and Dave end the article with a tantalizing prospect.

A series of football games between teams with two of the most prolific passing offenses in recent college football history is being discussed.

Hawaii and Texas Tech officials are trying to set up games at Lubbock and at Aloha Stadium, UH athletic director Herman Frazier said.

That would certainly be some great games! But it's all about Boise State this weekend. GO WARRIORS!!!!
