"We were playing five tough guys the whole game, plus they were the wedge on the punt return. They're playing at a winning percentage." (HSB)
HSB Note: "From left to right it's Aaron Kia, Ray Hisatake, John Estes, Raphael Ieru and Laupepa Letuli. And they were excellent Saturday night. UH allowed just two sacks for 10 yards. For most of the game, quarterback Greg Alexander had plenty of time to find his receivers, even in routes that took lots of time to develop. Running backs Leon Wright-Jackson and Alex Green also succeeded picking upblitzers. These are the same guys who couldn't block their defensive teammates in fall camp. It's the same group that had so much trouble with Central Arkansas that UH's most-used play in its season opener was the quarterback scramble."
About how the OL has been reaching their pass protection goal, Mac said:
"Their goal is one sack out of 20 passes. In three games they're at one out of 25." (HSB)
Proud of the OL, Mac said:
"I'm real proud of them, and it starts with (center) John Estes." (HSB)
HSB Note: "UNLV, which had lost its last two meetings with UH, had a "revenge look," he said. Early in Saturday's game, after a play, a Rebels player shoved UH receiver Kealoha Pilares and another hit Estes."
About how UH didn't retaliate and the UNLV player got a personal foul penalty, Mac said:
"(The Hawaii players) both walked away, and UNLV got a penalty for a personal foul." (HSB)
About how their offense is better this season, Mac said:
"We're better than we were at any other time last year." (HSB)
HSB Note: "The biggest reason is the vast improvement by the line."
