Royce Pollard is expected to start against Louisiana Tech

About how Royce Pollard will probably start at right wideout and be the kick returner against Louisiana Tech, Mac said:
"Pollard is looking good. He's going to get a lot of playing time." (HA)


Excited with getting to start, Pollard said:
"I'm with that. I'm ready to go. I'm excited." (HA)

HA Note: "Pollard, a third-year sophomore, has been playing in place of Jovonte Taylor, who suffered a sprained left ankle in last week's game against Nevada-Las Vegas. Taylor resumed practicing yesterday. Pollard's only UH start was against Idaho last season."


About how his start against Idaho wasn't a real start, Pollard said:
"I had a fake start. Malcolm (Lane) took the kickoff return, but he had an equipment malfunction. I went in. First play, first catch." (HA)

HA Note: "Pollard, who attended a high school in San Diego, turned down a scholarship offer from San Diego State to join the Warriors as a walk-on in June 2007. He relied on a Pell grant and student loans to pay for his first year of school. During last year's training camp, McMackin asked Pollard about his school work. Pollard, a political science major, said he had a 3.4 grade point average. McMackin smiled, then walked away. Two days later, during a team meeting, McMackin awarded Pollard a football scholarship."


About being awarded a scholarship last year, Pollard said:
"I was real happy about that blessing." (HA)
