The Glanville

I hope Jerry Glanville will stay at UH for a long time. The defense is starting to gel and you can't beat the quotes! Stephen Tsai talks to Jerry and the other coaches about his football mind.

"He remembers everything," UH head coach June Jones said. "He's one of the smartest guys, football wise, that I've ever been around."

Jeff Reinebold, who coaches the defensive linemen, said Glanville "goes back and pulls situations out of his hat from games when our players weren't even thought of. He's got a great football memory."

And Jerry gives some praise to the defense.

"Our offense doesn't keep the ball long, so we only have two minutes for our players to make adjustments," Glanville said. "They adjusted within two minutes. That's where, I think, our improvement has gone. They adjust so quickly it's like I'm coaching in the NFL again."

Dave Reardon writes about some of the mistakes UH had to overcome to pull out the win against Nevada.

Hawaii was assessed three personal fouls in the second quarter alone.

"I know it looks like our O-line was aggressive and hitting guys after the play," quarterback Colt Brennan said. "But it was only in retaliation to what Nevada was doing."

I don't know what Nevada was doing to rile up the UH players, but it sounds like it was working. I wonder if that was a strategy Nevada employed? In any case, UH players needs to retaliate (pancake!) during the next play, not push back after the play. Easy for me to say!

And Ferd Lewis looks ahead to Fresno. He also has a funny quote from June Jones.

"From the first time I watched them play against Colorado State (at Bulldog Stadium), by the middle of the third quarter the stands were empty. I'd never seen that before at Fresno. Hopefully, we can jump on them, get it started early and then their fans can throw screwdrivers (at) their players instead of ours."

He's joking folks! You'll need to read the rest of Ferd's column for some background on the "screwdriver incident." In any case, let's hope the Warriors can take it to the Bulldogs on Saturday. GO WARRIORS!!!!
