Game Week: Fresno - Wednesday News

Here are press releases with game notes from HawaiiAthletics.com and GoBulldogs.CSTV.com.

Via KTVU, a game preview from Gregg Xenakes of the Sports Network.

Lorenzo Reyna of the Collegian Online has another game preview.

“We’ll get tested this week,” Hill said. “This is a team we’ve had a real difficult time with in my tenure here. This is a big game for us.”

The Bulldogs have lost two in a row against the Warriors, and Pat Hill is always reminded about those two losses against Hawaii.

“I hear it all the time,” Hill said. “It’s the truth though. Hawaii’s beaten us the last two times out. We had a very tough loss last year and they put a shellacking on us two years ago at our stadium. And we all remember it well.”

Jason Kaneshiro talks to Inoke Funaki about watching the game tape, improving, and getting ready for FSU.

The Warriors' starting quarterback had some rousing scenes early in the footage, but those moments were ultimately overshadowed by a series of pivotal turnovers in the Warriors' 20-17 defeat.

But in those frames were lessons Funaki will take into Saturday's Western Athletic Conference game at No. 22 Fresno State, when he's expected to make his third start of the season.

"That's what we're trying to do, correct those mistakes," Funaki said. "There were a lot of them."
