From Stephen Tsai who talks about the trick play for TD as well as the play of the rest of the UH team.

"He kept his mouth quiet," Cal Lee said of his brother's game preparation. "He didn't tell me anything. I knew about another trick play, but he didn't run it."
Greg Alexander, who exits spring training as the No. 1 quarterback, completed 10 of 15 passes for 152 yards, including a 3-yard scoring pass to wideout Rodney Bradley.
The game, before 3,726, marked the final day of spring training.

UPDATE (by Tombo Ahi): Here are today's Star-Bulletin articles covering the Warrior Bowl...

Jason Kaneshiro has a wrap-up.

Kaneshiro also has some news and notes about Dustin Blount's opening TD, the performance of the offenses, Billy Ray Stutzmann's TD catch, injury news and Junior Day.

And Dave Reardon likes what he saw from the offensive lines.

But the best stat for the UH offense yesterday could translate into a huge plus for the Warriors this fall.

Zero.

No holding penalties.

First-year offensive line coach Gordy Shaw said the Warriors have vastly improved their technique this spring, and that leads to improved confidence.

"They're learning to block with their feet. They moved their feet well today and they stayed on their blocks," Shaw said.

Their were five "sacks," but that's deceiving because the orange-clad quarterbacks were off-limits for tackling.

"When the quarterback's off-limits, sometimes it helps the defense," Shaw said. "They don't have to tackle him. What I liked is I didn't see anyone come in scot-free."
