Gearing Up for BSU

Warriors fly off today. Here's some stories.

Stephen Tsai talks about Ryan Keomaka's reinstatement, Solomon Elimimian still being injured, Dan Kelly, and the possibility of Brashton Satele and Clarence Tuioti-Mariner moving to running back.

Dave Reardon talks to Samson Satele, who wants his teammates to reduce penalties and turnovers vs Boise.

"Nobody can question the physical ability of this team," Satele said. "Everybody knows that we're tough. Mental mistakes like jumping offsides, holding, personal fouls, all that kind of crap, we have to cut out if we want to win."

Don't mess with Emperor Samson.

Dave also writes that Kenny Patton will get the start at left cornerback, Leonard Peters is dealing with the pain of his rib injury, and nose tackle Kahai Lacount probably won't play due to injury.

Ferd Lewis interviews Boise State quarterback Jarad Zabranksy.

"They play at a (higher) level of intensity and a lot more focus on the road now," Zabransky said in a telephone interview yesterday. "In the past it was fairly apparent that they were just wanting to get back to the island. Now, they're really wanting to win football games and it looks like they're flying to the ball, playing very hard and doing a great job right now."

Sort of a backhanded compliment. Hopefully the UH seniors will take that personally!

And finally, former Warrior Travis Laboy feels bad that Jerry Glanville thought LaBoy was insulting him, he writes in his "Life in the NFL" diary.
