Feature on UH playing a football game on Wednesday

Asked if he ever played a football game on Wednesday before, Fetaiagogo ("John") Fonoti said:
"Nope. But when it's game day, you just gotta go." (HSB)

About how this will be broadcast to the entire country and the only football game that night, Fonoti said:
"Everybody's watching. It gives you the urge to do better." (HSB)

HSB Note: "It remains to be seen how two "half" byes affect the team one way or the other, but Warriors coach Greg McMackin is rightfully not thrilled with the lack of an actual week-long bye. Hawaii should never make a special trip all the way to Ruston, La., just for the one game against the Bulldogs. It's too expensive not to combine it with another road game, such as two years ago when the game at LaTech was followed by one at UNLV on the way back to Hawaii. Anything east of the Rockies should be paired, and Hawaii has the right idea in following up next year's game at West Point with one at Colorado since the Warriors are on the mainland anyway."

About possibly being used as a CB to knock down alley-oop passes to tall, athletic receivers, Royce Pollard said:
"I played a little corner in high school .If they told me to hike the ball, I'd hike the ball, too." (HSB)
