Feature on UH's inexperienced OL

HSB Note: "The old way to measure experience was returning starters. UH has only one on the O-line: Austin Hansen, who gets the first look at left tackle. The new way -- and perhaps more relevant -- is total games started by all returnees. Hawaii has 10: Hansen has opened eight games and Adrian Thomas two. That's it, just 10. John Estes by himself had started more than four times that many himself headed into 2009, his senior season."


About their inexperienced OL, OL coach Gordy Shaw said:
"All of the (starting contenders) in the meeting room have been through this. Last year they were learning through their ears. Now they've got to show it through their feet." (HSB)


HSB Note: "Shaw's goal this spring is to determine the five with the best fundamentals and technique, agility and strength. Then, in the summer, they are to bond as one."


About people who compare him to past UH OL coach Mike Cavanaugh, Shaw said:
"Mike and I are good friends. Hey, we're all different. I've got long hair, he's bald. I'm tall, he's short." (HSB)


About their coaching staff changes, Shaw said:
"It takes me back to my days at Michigan with Bo Schembechle. One spring he put all the offensive coaches on defense and all the defensive coaches on offense." (HSB)
