Kalani Takase has a report from yesterday's rain-delayed practice.

"It feels good to be back out here," quarterback Greg Alexander said. "We've had stuff switching around all season so it's something that we've got to deal with and just go out and get our work done."

Linebacker Adam Leonard said the team won't let the schedule changes affect them.

"It's kind of a switch-up for (yesterday), but we got some good work in and we're ready to get back into it and finish off strong."

Jason Kaneshiro writes about yesterday's delayed practice and notes where UH is practicing today.

They plan to return to their morning schedule today, but will practice at nearby Saint Louis School, which has an artificial surface field.

"We're not sure of the weather, and we don't want to tear the field up any more," McMackin said. "Plus we play on turf (at Aloha Stadium) so it's good to get some work on turf."

And Kaneshiro writes about Ryan Mouton's shift to free safety.

"You can't just take a corner and make him a safety. It takes a special guy because it's a whole different vision thing, it's a whole different communication thing. You have to be more of a quarterback. He just understands concepts and where everybody's supposed to be."

Although accustomed to playing closer to the line of scrimmage, Mouton's experience elsewhere in the secondary aids in his adjustment to safety.

"Playing corner and nickelback you have to know the other positions and know where your help's coming from," Mouton said. "So it's not too much of a difference."
