This was a good 100% effort/performance, even with all the game-costing foibles that plaged a team nearly out of it's league. We kept it a game that some say we had a chance at taking and thus keeps the momentum in the Warriors favor for upcoming home games, providing we don't collapse at ARMY whom we have a much better chance of beating after seeing this year's team is already above the recent cut.

The Warriors put up a very spirited effort against the Trojans. But it will take a lot more than positive vibes from opening night to put up a W over the Black Knights. For one thing, it's a road game, which alone means it won't be an automatic victory. On second thought, make that a 5000 mile road game.
And then too, UH is not facing the pathetic Army team of yore. Last season, the academy improved significantly, coming within one win of being bowl eligible. And this was with a squad that was still learning and adjusting to Coach Rich Ellerson's triple option offense. You can bet that Army will be more adept at execution this year. Hopefully Mac and the defensive coaches will have their boys up to the task of stopping a wishbone attack.
And if the name "Ellerson" sounds familiar to Hawaii fans, it certainly should. Rich was a former player and asst. coach at UH. He was Dick Tomey's defensive coordinator at Arizona during the years they had the Desert Swarm defense, before going on to success as a head coach at Cal Poly. I would be very surprised if Rich can't get his players motivated against his alma mater.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal.
