Game Week: Florida - QB Battle Re-Opens

Brent Rausch's arm was still bothering him today, meaning the starting QB for the Florida game is up in the air.

From the Advertiser:

The University of Hawaii head football coach Greg McMackin has reopened the quarterback competition, saying, it "could be a game time decision," between Brent Rausch and Greg Alexander.

McMackin said Rausch, who was named the No. 1 quarterback two week , still has tenderness in his right (throwing) arm. Rausch prcticed today but it ws Alexander who took the major of snaps with the No. 1 offense.

McMackin said he will evaluate the situation when Rausch is able to throw without discomfort for long periods of time.

And the Star-Bulletin:

Junior Greg Alexander took the vast majority of the practice snaps today, and Hawaii coach Greg McMackin said he could be the starting quarterback when UH opens at Florida on Saturday.
Brent Rausch, also a junior, was designated the No. 1 quarterback two weeks ago, but rested a sore throwing arm over the weekend, with Alexander taking over as the starter in practice.

"I gotta see if his arm's OK,' McMackin said of Rausch, who threw a few passes today. "If both are playing good, it could be a game-time decision."

McMackin said he doesn't expect to rotate quarterbacks.

"The first guy in will be the quarterback," he said. "I don't want him looking behind."

McMackin said junior Inoke Funaki is the No. 3 quarterback.
