Other Observations of UH vs Bama Game

I just watched the game again, and here's a few things I missed or forgot to note, partly because I was somewhat "impaired" by the Colt 45, among other tasty beverages, I had during the game. Say no to booze.

1. Ryan Grice-Mullins had a great game. He also had "Grice-Mullen" on his jersey. So which is it? Grice-Mullins or Grice-Mullen? Either way, his value to this team is enormous.

2. Keith Brown absolutely killed us. He's a football player.

3. The clock management at the end was questionable. UH let the clock run down in the last minute and a half, and when they finally did take a time out, it was after the clock had stopped on a first down. They also ended the game with a timeout left. Nonetheless, UH couldn't complete the last three passes, so I don't know how much it would've helped.

4. Jacob Patek was in on almost as many plays as Leonard Peters. For his first game, and against Alabama, he was not too shabby!

5. On second viewing, Colt Brennan didn't look as nervous as I initially thought, except at the end, when he puked several times on the field. Despite all the drops, he had a 68% completion percentage.

6. Reagan Mauia lined up as slot/tight end on a few plays. That was interesting, and I wonder if they'll do that again.

7. Leonard Peters was back to receive Alabama's second-to-last punt in the 4th quarter. I hope that wasn't just for this game. I would love to see him take back a punt against UNLV. He'd be a frickin maniac! UPDATE: Turns out that Peters was back there to defend against the fake punt, but with June Jones, I wouldn't be surprised by anything!

Overall, it was a well played game by the Warriors. There were some mistakes, but those can be fixed in the next couple weeks. Things are looking up for this season.

    Fantastic assessement like usual and great read!

    Here is a link to the story and discussion on Stephen Tsai's explanation to RGM's name: http://sportshawaii.com/hs/viewtopic.php?p=76780&sid=c35c599b905aadf277f80ef550d60e14

    I think LP on the punt return had something to do with a possible fake. Not sure about that, but I'd love to see him return one too! When they practice and get an INT they always lateral it to LP and he takes it YARD!

    Mahalo,
    Scott

    thanks for the article scott! i just wanted to know why "grice-mullins" is not on his jersey if that's his real name. i guess since it hasn't been made "official" in the government books, it has to stay "grice-mullen" on his jersey.

    and thanks for the info on the LP punt return thing. the sportshawaii.com nation has confirmed! and i went back to watch it too. oh well! one can still dream of LP bowling over some unsuspecting fools!
