UH vs CU game info, Richard Torres, Moniz, Suspensions

HawaiiAthletics.com has game notes (PDF) and some information on this Saturday's UH vs Colorado season opener.

They also have an H-Files Q&A with Richard Torres. If you don't like reading, you can watch him answering the questions:



The Daily Camera has video of Colorado coach John Embree talking about the upcoming game.

Natalie Meisler of The Denver Post profiles Bryant Moniz.

Embree has more good things to say about Moniz.

Stephen Tsai profiles George Daily-Lyles, who will start at middle linebacker vs Colorado.
Daily-Lyles practiced with the first team the past week while Corey Paredes recovered from tight quadriceps. With Aaron Brown's suspension, Paredes will move to weak-side linebacker, and Daily-Lyles will move into the No. 1 rotation.

"If you look at this spring and this fall camp, he's probably played better than anyone we've got," defensive coordinator Dave Aranda said of Daily-Lyles. "I'm proud of his progress."
Tsai writes that Brown and Darius Bright won't play in the Colorado game.
Weak-side linebacker Aaron Brown and left wideout Darius Bright received one-game suspensions because of their arrests following their involvement in separate scuffles in the Zanzabar Nightclub in Waikiki.
Ferd Lewis thinks UH made the right call.
But for all that could be riding on the start to this season in which a 2-0 start might produce a national ranking, UH needed to make a clear statement Monday after two of its profile players were arrested. Which is why, based upon the details initially laid out by the authorities and UH, plus the players’ lack of previous problems, Monday’s action is in the ballpark while leaving room for adjustment, should additional revelations warrant.
