Nate Ilaoa Interview / Easy Peasy / TC Still 2

Nate Ilaoa gives a "Draft Spotlight" video interview on the Eagles website. Check it out. Best quote: "The Porsche is still in me, but it just got a Hummer frame right now." He also gives props to the UH offense, but reveals that he doesn't like poi. It's a wide-ranging interview.

And thanks to Kawiks for pointing out this article. Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com compiles a list of the "easiest" schedules in college football. Guess which team comes in second.

2. HAWAII: Warriors quarterback Colt Brennan won't have many problems putting up Heisman Trophy-like numbers against Hawaii's schedule. The Warriors play two nonconference games against Division I-AA teams Northern Colorado and Charleston Southern, along with a road game at UNLV and home game against Washington. The Warriors' WAC schedule includes home games against Fresno State and Boise State and road games at San Jose State and Nevada.

Nonconference opponents: Northern Colorado (home), UNLV (road), Charleston Southern (home), Washington (home)
Toughest game: vs. Boise State, Nov. 23
Easiest game: vs. Charleston Southern, Sept. 23

Thanks Herman. Well, let's hope the rest of the WAC "plays up" so UH's SOS will go up as well.

And Ken Peters of the Hamilton Spectator writes an article about the QB situation for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

But Taaffe made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that Maas is the starter. Period. End of discussion. Stop asking.

"Let me say this one last time, alright? Jason Maas is the quarterback. How many times do I have to tell you that? Jason Maas is the quarterback. OK? Until at some point if we feel the need to make a change, we'll make a change.

"We're going to continue to play Timmy Chang, he is a good young guy if the situation dictates or allows to get him into the game.

"Jason Maas is our quarterback. OK?"

OK! Let's hope Timmy continues to get playing time, though not because of massive blowouts or injury to Maas.
