Quotes about the Warriors in the Hawaii papers

About how he will get X-rays today on his sore right foot "just to make sure" there is no significant damage, Greg Salas said:
"I'm going to get it checked out." (HA)


About how he felt pain in his right foot during the first quarter of the NMSU game, Salas said:
"I decided to play through it." (HA)


About how he hopes he can play in the SJSU game on Saturdady, Salas said:
"I want to make sure it will be where it needs to be." (HA)


About how he played through despite the pain in his ribs during the NMSU game, Bryant Moniz said:
"I guess my adrenaline was going." (HA)


HA Note: "The UH quarterbacks are equipped with rib pads. But that protection is likened to a bullet-proof jacket, which does not completely eliminate the pain caused by impact. Moniz insisted that his ribs are only bruised."


About how he does not thing that his ribs are broken, Moniz said:
"I can breathe OK." (HA)


About how the their slot receivers Salas and Medeiros were open in the NMSU game, Moniz said:
"The slots were the open guys to go to." (HA)


About why their QBs threw so many passes to Salas, Moniz said:
"We try to find the open guy, and he seems to be open a lot." (HA)


Not satisfied with his play in the NMSU game, Greg Salas said:
"I dropped a lot of passes. That's what sticks in my mind the most. It's one thing I hate doing, but in the end I had a pretty good night. It's great to get the win. It's the most important thing." (HSB)


Putting the NMSU game and looking towards the SJSU game, Leon Wright-Jackson said:
"It's San Jose State. This game's over with; it's time to look on to the Spartans, so we're just going to get ready for that." (HSB)

Ron Lee said that he talked with Bryant Moniz yesterday about his ribs and said:
"he said he felt better than last night." (HSB)


About how Shane Austin and Brent Rausch will get additional reps in practice this week with Moniz expected to be limited this week, QB coach Nick Rolovich said:
"(Austin) gets enough reps in practice, and this is the second time he's had to be on a moment's notice, so I think he'll continue to be ready to play in the game like a starter. We're going to continue to bring Brent back (from a broken finger), and it's Shane's job to hold him off." (HSB)


About how they had too many dropped passes in the NMSU game, offensive coordinator Ron Lee said:
"We can't afford any drops at the end of the season." (HSB)


HSB Note: 'The Hawaii defense, meanwhile, didn't allow an offensive score for the first time since shutting out Idaho in 2005. They will next face a San Jose State offense that ranks 118th out of 120 FBS teams in scoring at 13.6 points per game and enters the week on a five-game losing streak."


About their final road trip of the season, Blaze Soares said:
"It's part of football, and we have to do what we have to do. Take this intensity, times it by 10 and go into that game with a chip on our shoulder." (HSB)


Hawaii Bowl executive director David Matlin said that having SMU in the Hawaii Bowl:
"would be a great matchup for the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl." (HSB)
