Feature article on the Scout Bowl scrimmage

HSA Note: "As part of the bye-week activities, the Warriors planned on conducting the annual Scout Bowl involving redshirts and scout-team players. Because of numerous injuries, the format was changed from two teams to an offense-versus-defense format. A complicated scoring system was created for the defense, awarding points for interceptions, forced fumbles and third-down failures."


About calling the play as the offense's "head coach" when they went to overtime with the score tied at 30, with the offense getting the ball at the 25 and needing to score to win, Bryant Moniz said:
"It was a good time to go for the double-move route." (HSA)

"It was overtime period. It was time to go for it." (HSA)


About running a stick patter, where he faked to the outside then cut back on a post route, getting open between 2 safeties to catch the game-winning pass from David Graves, Justin Clapp said:
"It's a phenomenal feeling. All the credit goes to the line. They had to pass-block for that. And credit goes to David for throwing a dime ball to me. It was just perfect." (HSA)


Praising Justin Clapp for the game-winning TD, David Graves said:
"He was so wide open I didn't want to mess up the throw. Those are the scariest ones when they're wide open." (HSA)


About playing with a broken left thumb and a sprained finger on his throwing hand, Graves said:
"I'm just dinged up. It's nothing I can't play through." (HSA)


About his 75-yard TD catch-and-run, walk-on Terence Bell said:
"It was an end route, and I came across. I was lucky enough to see the window. Cayman (Shutter) threw a great ball. I made the rest of it happen." (HSA)


About his 9-yard TD run where he knocked down 3 defenders, Sterling Jackson said:
"It feels good to get out there and play." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Jackson is 6-foot-1, weighs 228 pounds and, Moniz insists, "intimidates like Brock Lesnar." "


Praising Sterling Jackson, RB coach Brian Smith said:
"He has explosive speed. He's a physical player. He has really good leg drive. He does a good job of running hard and finishing his runs." (HSA)


About bear-hugging Bell when he made a leaping catch near the sideline and tossing him out of bounds for an incompletion, Terry Wilson said:
"Coach (Rich) Miano always teaches us to press out of bounds. That's why we go through old-school training every day." (HSA)


About how Moses Samia made 2 of his 2.5 sacks using 2-handed thrusts, Siaki Cravens said:
"See those clubs right there. Those are 3X glove sizes right there. That's all power. I'm pretty sure (the offensive lineman) gets nervous when he lines up in front of him. He uses those big hands and clubs people with them." (HSA)


About how he will focus on football training this spring instead of playing for UH's baseball team, Samia said:
"I'm worrying about football right now." (HSA)
