Quotes about UH's injured players

About how they aren't going to just start their 2nd team or ease up on CSU, Desmond Thomas said:
"We don't take any team lightly. We're going to respect them, and we're going to try to kick their butts like we would Boise State or anyone else." (HSB)


Looking for them to keep improving, JJ said:
"We are 3-0. We have to play better every week and we need to play better this week just so we keep inching along on what we want to do. We have got to stay focused and eliminate mental errors." (HSB)


About how this is the 2nd worst injury he's ever had, Colt talked about what happened when he was 14 and in his final year of Pop Warner football:
"I had a really bad concussion as a kid. I was throwing up. I was taking too many shots to the head." (HSB)

"I was out a week. I came back and played, but didn't have the kind of tenacity I had before. It took some time to get that back." (HSB)


Asked if he thought about not playing football anymore after his concussion, Colt said:
"Hell no. Absolutely not." (HSB)


Hoping he gets to play vs. CSU, Colt (who has never missed a UH game via injury) said:
"I'm dying to get out there. It's such a routine in football. A lot of my success the last two years is because I was consistently never hurt. I was always practicing and always ready for Saturday's games. I don't want to lose that edge or level of just working every day doing the same thing every day." (HSB)


About how he couldn't play if the game was yesterday, Colt said:
"It's just not ready yet. If I go out there Saturday, I want it to be as close to 100 percent as possible." (HSB)


About Graunke and Colt playing this week, JJ said:
"Tyler can play. He'll get some time this week. Hopefully after we get it going. Colt will play also. We'll play just a normal game." (HSB)



About Kiran Kepo'o needing surgery after his bicycle accident at the UH campus yesterday, his mother Michele Kepo'o said:
"The right side of his face might need surgery. He may have a fractured cheek and his right eye is swollen shut." (HSB)


About his status, Kiran said:
"I'm doing fine. I'm not sure when I'll be released." (HSB)


About how Kiran could not remember details of the accident, Michele said:
"Campus security found him sitting down and they think he fell. They don't know if a car was involved or not. We don't know what happened yet." (HSB)


About how he sat out practice yesterday, RG Larry Sauafea said:
"Just a little sick. I just needed to rest a little more." (HSB)


About how he didn't get any team reps in practice yesterday, Blaze said:
"They're trying to ease me in. We're not pushing too fast." (HSB)
