Week 9 sees Hawaii host Colorado State after their second bye week of the season. Despite almost coming back against UNLV the Rainbow Warriors remain win-less. CSU are travelling into Honolulu after a victory over Wyoming last weekend.

When: Saturday, Oct. 26th at 6 p.m. Hawaii time.

Where: Aloha Stadium, Halawa (Honolulu), Hawaii

TV: Oceanic Pay-Per-View/Mountain West Netwlrk

Radio: ESPN 1420 AM (Hawaii); Colorado State Sports Network (105.5 FM ESPN, flagship)

Colorado State 2013 record: 3-4-0, 1-1 in MWC

Hawaii 2013 record: 0-6-0, 0-4 in MWC

All Time Series Record: CSU leads 12-9

Last Meeting: Oct. 27th 2012 in Fort Collins. Ram won 42-27

Coaches:

Colorado State - Jim McElwain (7-12). McElwain is in his second year as the head coach of the Rams.

Hawaii - Norm Chow (3-15). Chow is currently in the second year at the helm of the Rainbow Warriors.

Hawaii is hoping to finally get a W on the board after going through the first eight weeks of the season with six losses. Colorado state will be looking to get their first back to back wins on the year after last weeks victory over Wyoming. This game will also serve as Homecoming for the Rainbow Warriors. Fingers crossed for a competitive game.

Hawaii has had no answer at quarterback this year. Be it the injury to Taylor Graham, the inconsistency of Ikaika Woolsey or the promise of Sean Schroeder, it seems none will lead the team this week. In fact, its looking like it could well be a combination of all three, and maybe Jeremy Higgins as a fourth option too. When questioned on his plan to play all four against CSU, Norm Chows response was simple, 'Why Not?' After all this team sits at 0-6 and at this point of the season a realistic chance at the Hawaii Bowl has passed by, so why not? There's nothing to lose and hopefully the competition will garner positive results. I don't think Chow can really be blamed for this approach. If I was to lean to one of the four it would be Sean Schroeder. He was the incumbent starter from last season and he's shown just as much as anyone else at this point. Time will tell if Chows approach will pay dividends. A change at offensive line has been made too, with Sean Shigematsu playing at left guard. Again, there's no reason to not experiment with line ups, especially when there is little that can be lost.

There will be no such experiment at the quarterback position for the Rams with Garrett Grayson continuing to be the man to lead the team. Last week he threw for 219 yards and three TDs against the Cowboys. He did have an interception but that was just the fifth he has thrown all year. Grayson is completing over 60% of his passes with 1670 yards and 13 TDs in total. Grayson has a very efficient offensive line protecting him which has given up just seven sacks so far this season. Experience has been the key to this unit which includes four seniors and one junior. Since the end of the Tulsa game they have only given up four sacks in 154 pass attempts. Senior center Weston Richburg is a candidate for the Outland Trophy, Rimington Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award.

CSU has been a pretty balanced offense this year. They rank 58th in the nation in passing and 59th in rushing. Kapri Bibbs has been the primary rusher picking up 201 of the 290 total yards gained on the ground against Wyoming. With a great line to run behind Colorado has seen an increase of just under 50 yards per game compared to last year. Bibbs is averaging a massive 6.7 yards per carry and has nine TDs. Chris Nwoke is the main back up who himself has 320 yards and a TD to his name. He also has four receptions on the year. Nwoke is averaging 4.5 yards a carry.

This game will be too early for the return of Iosefa who is probably still at least a fortnight away from suiting up for the Warriors. More bad news came this week when Faga Wily, a player on the cusp, was told he'll likely miss the rest of the season after failing to overcome a concussion. Wily only started one game this year but he'll be a loss to the rotation. For now Steven Lakalaka and Diocemy Saint Juste will lead the team. With the option of Ikaika Woolsey under center Hawaii have the chance to get a bit more dynamic with their running backs. Lakalaka leads the team on the ground this year with 286 yards. The next best is Saint Justes 119 yards. With no offensive line and two freshmen running backs it could be a long afternoon for Hawaii's offense.

At receiver for the Rainbow Warriors Chris Gant has been the stand out player over the past three games. He has 308 receiving yards on 14 catches during that time and now leads the corps with 403 yards and four TDs. Vasquez Haynes is another player Hawaii will be hoping to get the best out of against CSU. He has four catches of over 25 yards so far and could be a legitimate deep threat for whoever will be throwing the ball. After missing the first few games of the year Billy Ray Stutzmann has been a contributor since his comeback and has 11 catches for 181 yards and has one TD in each of his last three games. Harold Moleni should be the starter at tight end with Clark Evans and Jordan Pu'u-Robinson backing him up. Evans has been a big factor in the passing game and will be looking to add to his 17 catches and one TD this year. Hopefully the offense as a whole can get going before the fourth quarter this week. If they can put in that performance for the other three quarters then it could get interesting.

Joe Hansley is not named as a starter on the depth chart for CSU for this game. Hansley is the second leading receiver on the team with 318 yards but is yet to pull in a TD this term. Rashard Higgins will be the number one target on Saturday and he currently leads all receivers with 377 yards and three TDs. Charles Lovett, a junior is named as the other starting receiver on this weeks depth chart. He only had one reception in last weeks game. The Rams do possess senior tight end Crockett Gilmore. Gilmore is one of three in the mountain west conference to be named on the Mackey award watch list. He has 19 receptions for 252 yards and a TD this term. Red-shirt junior Kivon Cartwright is the other tight end who will hurt Hawaii in the passing game if given the chance. He has a massive 6 TDs with only 16 receptions.

As bad as the defensive side of the ball has been for Hawaii this year there are still some things that they excel at. The Warriors have forced 12 turnovers (7 interceptions, 5 forced fumbles) which is tied for 51st nationally. They are also ranked fourth in the mountain west with 14 sacks. Junior defensive end Beau Yap's last two games have been his best in 2013. Against San Jose State he had six tackles, 1.5 for a loss, one sack and two quarterback hurries and then against UNLV he recorded six tackles, 2.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks. On the opposite side Tavita Woodard will be wanting a better end to the season as he tries to get drafted in 2014. Hawaii's line-backing core remains largely unchanged and will be spearheaded by Art Laurel and Brenden Daley. The latter leads the team with 45 total tackles.

The Rams' front seven includes Shaquil Barrett at end/linebacker who has 12.5 tackles for a loss this year which is tied for third most in the entire NCAA. He also has 6.5 sacks which is fifth best in the country. Barrett can be a real menace on special teams too and has managed to block two kicks in one game, the first Ram to do so dating back to 1970 according to research. Colorado's defense collectively has been outscored by opponents 76-49 in the fourth quarter. Linebacker Aaron Davis leads the team with 64 total tackles, four more than the next best who is middle linebacker Max Morgan.

Colorado States secondary have some play-makers that Hawaii will need to be wary of when throwing the football. Safety Trent Matthews has picked off three passes this season whilst fellow safety Kevin Pierre-Louis racked up 15 tackles against CU earlier on this year. That number is the fourth most ever in one game in the mountain west. There has also been progress this year in terms of opponents third down conversions. Last year the percentage stood at 48%, this year its down to 40%. Alabamas AJ McCarron has only been picked off five times over the past two years, one of those times was to CSU cornerback Bernard Blake. There are real ball hawks in this secondary.

Trayvon Henderson has really stepped up as a freshman in the secondary for the Rainbow Warriors. Henderson has registered an interception in each of the last two games and has continued to show promise every time he gets on the field. Ne'Quan Phillips leads all cornerbacks at Hawaii with 29 total tackles. He also has consecutive games with an interception this term. One thing this defense is good at is stopping the opposition from converting on third down. 37.9% conversion rate is good for third in the mountain west and 51st nationally. Safety John Hardy-Tuliau is another draft prospect on this defense that needs to get better if he is to impress scouts and have a shot at being selected in the 2014 NFL draft.

This game is should be close, at least on paper. CSU is a 5 point favourite is most places. One thing Hawaii has been good at is making the score close. But not until the very end. To just glance at the end result makes it look like a close game where to be honest UH has been blown away for most of the game only to come back and almost snatch victory at the death. The Rainbow Warriors need to compete for all four quarters for the first time this year. Then maybe, just maybe they can pick up their first W of the season.

Week 6 sees mountain west new boys San Jose come to Honolulu for their first battle with Hawaii as conference foes. Hawaii are still win-less despite an impressive second half against Fresno State last week. San Jose have one win on the year that came against Sacramento State back in week one.

When: Saturday, Oct. 5th at 6 p.m. Hawaii time.

Where: Aloha Stadium, Halawa (Honolulu), Hawaii

TV: Oceanic Pay-Per-View

Radio: ESPN 1420 AM (Hawaii); KLIV 1590 AM (San José)

San Jose State 2013 record: 1-3-0, 0-1 in MWC

Hawaii 2013 record: 0-4-0, 0-2 in MWC

All Time Series Record: Tied 17-17-1

Last Meeting: Oct. 14th 2011 in San Jose. Spartans won 28-27

Coaches:

San Jose State - Ron Caragher (1-3). This is Caragher's first year as head coach at the Spartans. Its his seventh season as a college head coach.

Hawaii - Norm Chow (3-13). Chow is in his second year as the head coach of the Rainbow Warriors.

After a spirited comeback in Honolulu against Fresno State last week Hawaii are home again this time to face conference newcomers San Jose State. The Spartans are coming off a defeat at home to Utah State which seen them go down 40-12. Fingers crossed for a great game again this week for both schools.

The position of quarterback continues to be uncertain at Hawaii. Last week Taylor Graham failed to recover in time from a shoulder injury and Ikaika Woolsey was handed the start. Woolsey failed to have an impact on the game and was replaced in the second half by last years starter Sean Schroeder who almost brought the Warriors back from a 42-3 deficit. He threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns and fell just short of a game winning TD after being intercepted in the red zone on the final drive of the game. Chow was non committal to any of his quarterbacks this week instead insisting that they will all get time with the first team. Graham was cleared to practise Wednesday but its still a mystery as to who will get the start on Saturday. Schroeder has more than earned his right to get a chance at starting and this could be the way Chow goes for this one. Hawaii's offensive line has given up 20 sacks (20!) through four games, including a massive seven against Fresno. Hawaii did have more passing yards than Derek Carr in total though.

David Fales managed to throw for 314 yards last week against Utah State but managed no TDs with two interceptions. However in the other 3 games this year Fales has managed a total of 6 TDs and so will remain dangerous. In the last two games the Spartans are averaging 461.5 yards of total offense. San Jose is one of only two teams to gain at least 400 yards of total offense against Utah State this season. Its worth noting that so far this year six of the eight touchdown drives the Spartans have managed have took less than two minutes. Blake Jurich came in late last week and also threw an interception. The offensive line has given up six sacks this year but only once last week and none the week before vs Minneosta. Nicholas Kaspar has been at right guard the last two games after opening the season at center.

The Spartans rushing attack is spearheaded by fifth year senior Jason Simpson who has 255 yards on the ground through the first five weeks. Good enough for ninth best in the mountain west. He has a 4.4 yards per carry average on 58 carries this year compared to 2.9 on 31 attempts in his first three seasons with San José State. He had 48 yards and a TD last week. Simpsons primary back up will be a case of running back by committee with Shane Smith, Osirius Burke, Jarrod Lawson and Alvin Jelks just some of the names that may have carries. Tyler Ervin has missed the last three games due to injury.

The man who was meant to lead this years group of running backs for Hawaii was Joey Iosefa. After making his season debut against Nevada, Iosefa got injured and will now miss the next four weeks after having surgery on his foot. Diocemy Saint Juste was great in that Nevada game but seen his number of carries cut last week, managing just one yard from seven attempts. The cut in his carries is probably due to the 12 rushes Woolsey had at quarterback. Steven Lakalaka was the top rusher with 66 yards at an average of 5.1 per carry and two TDs against Fresno. Hes also caught a pass in every game this year and is named ahead of Saint-Juste for this game. There were no fumbles for any player on the Hawaii offense.

Senior receiver Chris Gant had a breakout game for the Warriors last week. He caught four passes for a career high 133 yards. Scott Harding leads the team with 16 catches including five in each of the last three games. He's also the punt returner and sometimes even punts himself. Billy Ray Stutzmann played in his first game this year in week five and managed to grab a TD for himself. Hawaii has a number of players making contributions in the passing game, Vasquez Haynes and Keith Kirkwood had TDs against the Bulldogs. Tight end Harold Moleni should be back this week to start after missing a game following a concussion. Craig Cofer will move back to the position too after Jordan Pu'u Robinson was injured and will miss at least two games.

Chandler Jones is the biggest receiving weapon the Spartans possess. Last time out he had seven receptions for 115 yards. He has 485 yards in total and four TDs. He was also added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list. The award honors the best pass receiver. Noel Grigsby has had injury problems and is not named on the depth chart for this. Kyle Nunn set a career high of five receptions for 85 yards vs Utah State. He has progressed well after not having a reception in the opener against Sacramento State. Jabari Carr has 21 receptions in the last three games and is second on the team with 23 total receptions. He did suffer a shoulder injury in the last contest. Tyler Winston, Daniel Bradbury and Hansell Wilson all had their first reception of the season last week. Tight end Billy Freeman has at least one reception in every game and earned an honorable mention for tight end of the week a fortnight ago.

Its not all doom and gloom for Hawaii and their defense this year. The unit as a whole is tied 12th nationally with 32 tackles for a loss and 33rd nationally with nine sacks. Brenden Daley has 6.5 tackles for a loss, which ranks 11th nationally. Giving up 530 yards of offense against Fresno is never a good stat, but when it counted the defense produced two interceptions and two fumbles. Art Laurel was one of those with an interception last week and he leads the team with 27 total tackles. There are no new injury concerns for the Warriors in the front seven after losing linebacker Julain Gener after the Nevada game. Daley and Laurel both lead the defense with two sacks each. Siasau Matagiese seems to be going from strength to strength, registering another five tackles in the latest outing.

The Spartans linebacker Keith Smith is the leading tackler in the nation averaging 17.8 tackles per game. An absolute monster work-rate. He has 18 games in his career where he has made at least ten tackles. Playing on the opposite side to Smith is Isaiah Irving, a freshman who had seven tackles last week. He has been the starter for the past two weeks. Upfront, nose tackle junior Travis Raciti has had back to back games of career high tackle numbers. He has two sacks this year, both coming against Utah State. Outside linebacker Eugene Taylor leads the defense with three sacks which is good for fifth in the mountain west.

Chuckie Keeton managed to throw for 260 yards and 3 TDs against the San Jose secondary last week. Bené Benwikere and Damon Ogburn are the starting corners. Benwikere has an interception, six pass break ups and a QB hurry this season. However he did suffer a concussion against Utah State but should be good to go after all tests came back negative. Ogburn has also played at safety this year but he is named on the depth chart as a corner for this one. The group have only given up four TDs in four games and whoever starts at quarterback for Hawaii will need to be accurate.

Derek Carr threw for 324 yards on the Hawaii secondary but Ne'Quan Phillips did steal an interception. As was the case with Carr last week there should be plenty of chances for play makers to step up on the back end and contribute to the defense as a whole. John Hardy-Tuliau has played all over the field this year, safety, outside corner and in the nickel. The ability to move players around can only serve as a good thing if everyone is clear in their assignments and doesn't give up any big plays due to busted coverage or poor tackling. Charles Clay, whilst not named as a starter is the leading tackler in the secondary for Hawaii.

At the start of the season I managed to call the first two games right with Hawaii losing but keeping close enough to beat the spread. Since then I have been wrong. This time the Spartans look to be the favourites with the spread to beat for Hawaii being +4.5. I really hope they can put on a performance in this one.

Week 5 sees the Rainbow Warriors welcome unbeaten Fresno State into Honolulu. Hawaii is looking for a maiden victory in 2013. Fresno State are coming off the back of one of the best games this season which seen them beat Boise State 41-40 to improve to 3-0.

When: Saturday, Sept. 28, 11:59 p.m. ET
Where: Aloha Stadium, Halawa (Honolulu), Hawaii
TV: KSEE (Fresno) Oceanic Pay-Per-View (Hawaii), Mountain West Network
Radio: 940 AM ESPN Radio; ESPN 1420 AM/Fresno State 2013 record: 3-0-0, 1-0 in MWC
All Time Series Record: Fresno State leads 23-21-1
Last Meeting: Nov. 3rd 2012 in Fresno. Fresno won 45-10

Coaches: Fresno State - Tim DeRuyter (12-4). This season is DeRuyter's second year as head coach of Fresno State. Hawaii - Norm Chow (3-11). This is Chows second year at the controls of Hawaii.

Things are going to get even tougher this week when Fresno State come to Honolulu to take on the Rainbow Warriors. So far in 2013, Hawaii are yet to be victorious with losses at the hands of USC, Oregon State and Nevada. It's been much different for Fresno State, as they haven't tasted defeat. The Bulldogs sit at 3-0 having beaten Rutgers, Cal Poly and Boise State. Fresno State is currently an 18.5-point favorite over Hawaii.

There is a bit of a waiting game going on at Hawaii right now. Taylor Graham suffered an injury to his non-throwing-arm shoulder against Nevada, but he is not ruled out and is day-to-day. Graham was 9 of 15 for 77 yards last week. Norm Chow has said that if he is not good to go, then it's between Sean Schroeder and Ikaika Woolsey to get the start under center.

 The offense gave up six turnovers in the Nevada game and this needs to improve if the Warriors stand any chance here. The line looked porous and whoever gets the start on Saturday will need the line to do a better job to allow a little more time in the pocket. Both Schroeder and Woolsey threw two interceptions when they deputized for Graham; that's got to change. Believe it or not, the Warriors actually out gained Nevada in total yards (376), first downs (20) and time of possession last week. It just goes to prove that if you don't look after the ball, it all counts for nothing.

The situation at quarterback for Hawaii maybe up in the air but there are no such problems facing Fresno. The Bulldogs this week launched a Heisman trophy campaign for Derek Carr after his impressive start to the season. Through three games, Carr has thrown for 1,121 yards, 12 TD's and only one interception. He has more yards at this point in the season than previous Heisman winners Johnny Manziel, Robert Griffin III, Cam Newton, Sam Bradford and even Tim Tebow. Carr is now only nine TD passes behind Fresno's all-time leader, Paul Pinegar. The offensive line has been good in pass blocking, Carr has only been sacked twice all season and for a loss of just six yards.

There isn't much to judge the Bulldog running game off this year. Fresno has gained 305 yards on the ground for an average of 3.5 yards per attempt. Josh Quezada has been the leader with 135 yards and two TD's. When you have a quarterback like Carr at your disposal, then I guess your running game only has to pay compliment to your aerial attack. Sophomore Marteze Waller is the primary back up to Quezada with contributions coming from T.J. Thomas and even Carr himself.

Joey Iosefa returned to the line up against Nevada but any optimism was shortlived. Iosefa had just two attempts for a grand total of four yards before he succumb to injury. Iosefa will miss the next four weeks after undergoing surgery to stabilise a foot injury. Diocemy Saint Juste was named the starter last week and he was very impressive with 82 yards from 12 attempts. Lakalaka also had a decent game with 42 yards from nine attempts.

Billy Ray Stutzmann was rumoured to feature last time out but never saw the field . He could get some action this time, being another week along in his recovery. The Warriors suffered another considerable loss when starting tight end Harold Moleni suffered a concussion. He should be in the frame to play come Saturday. Vasquez Haynes led Hawaii in receptions and yards against Nevada with four receptions and 43 yards. Starter Chris Gant hauled in a TD and there were contributions from 10 different receivers. A strength of this group continues to be the number of players that are capable of making plays.

Our own Matthew K. describes Fresno as a team that are willing to pass first, second and third. This is made possible because of the wealth of talent they have at the receiver position. At Bulldog Stadium vs. Boise, both Davante Adams and Isaiah Burse had double-digit receptions and over 100 yards. Adams also pulled in a TD in the third quarter. Whilst Josh Harper had only three receptions, he did have 36 yards and two TDs. Harper and Adams now have four TDs each on the season with Burse having over 300 yards. It's a loaded unit with tight end Marcel Jensen, receiver Greg Watson and running back Josh Quezada also having over 100 yards receiving on the season. Of course, a lot of the stats are thanks to Carr, but someone has to catch the balls.

The 340 yards of total offense that the Hawaii defense gave up last week was the lowest of the season. Progress? We'll see, but it's a step in the right direction. Impressively, the defense leads all MWC defenses against the rush and rank 42nd nationally. There are a few injury concerns on the defensive line for the Warriors, too. Defensive ends Beau Yap and Iuta Tepa suffered concussions and their availability for the game hangs in the balance right now. Yap has started every game this far and has one sack. Tepa made his first start last week. On the opposite side Tavita Woodard has only started one game so far. Defensive tackle Siasau Matagiese leads all linemen at Hawaii with 14 tackles. The biggest loss for Hawaii is at linebacker with the loss of Julian Gener. Gener stepped up against OSU and played well last week. He is the third leading tackler on the team, but is now lost for the year with a season-ending elbow injury. Luckily, he is able to meet the criteria for a medical red-shirt.

Andy Jennings is the leader of the defensive line for Fresno, statistically speaking. He has 12 total tackles and half a sack. Tyeler Davison, a junior nose tackle also has a sack. Junior linebacker Karl Mickelsen is starting to emerge as a defensive leader. This is his first year as a starter and he is becoming a real play maker. He has 30 tackles this year (8 more than any other player at Fresno) with a career high 16 against Boise State. Mickelsen also broke up a pass and forced a fumble. Ejiro Ederaine is a sophomore outside linebacker who is not currently a starter but starred in the win against the Broncos. He finished the game with five tackles and two sacks. Kyrie Wilson is an inside linebacker who has 18 tackles this year and 1.5 sacks (2nd best on the team). The line-backing unit is pretty stacked.

The Bulldogs conceded 361 passing yards against Boise, as well as one TD. Derron Smith did manage one pick. The defensive backfield as a whole seems to be pretty solid. They conceded roughly the same amount of yards through the air against Boise as they did in the opener vs Rutgers. Whilst not spectacular, the unit as a whole is reliable. Last season, Fresno State ranked fifth nationally with 35 takeaways and was third in the FBS with 22 interceptions. This year, Fresno State has recovered one fumble in all three games and has the two interceptions from Derron Smith. L.J. Jones has been the top tackler in the backfield with a total of 22 on the year.

Hawaii gave up 202 receiving yards against Nevada, not a bad stat considering the loss. The 10.1 yard average per reception is what has really got to change. There's no good in limiting the opponent's offense and then giving up a first down every time you need a stop. It would be ideal if someone like Ne'Quan Phillips can grab an interception as well. There is going to be plenty of opportunities to create a turnover in the backfield with the amount of times Carr will throw the ball. Free safety Marrell Jackson is the only player in the team that has an interception so far this year not that Gener is out.

Last week's big loss for Hawaii, coupled with Fresno's epic win over Boise, means there is little hope for the Warriors in this one. It really would be a shock if they can hang with Fresno into the second half. If Graham doesn't make it, then there is no chance of a close matchup here. With him they could be a threat early on (they scored with their first drive last week) and keep things interesting. Look for Fresno to cover the spread and remain perfect.

Bad news for the Rainbow Warriors with the news that breakout linebacker Gener will miss the rest of the year.

Julian Gener, a junior linebacker who has broke through this season will miss the rest of the year after suffering an elbow injury. Gener will undergo 'tommy john' surgery. The injury is common amongst pitchers in baseball but the recovery time shouldn't be as long for a football player.

Prior to attending Hawaii Gener attended Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California for two years. He was a 2012 All-America Community College Football first-team selection.

Gener seen extended time this year against Oregon State when Brenden Daley had to be carted off the field early in the first quarter with a concussion. He went on to shine, leading the defense with 11 tackles, one sack and returned an interception for a touchdown. In the follow up game against Nevada he was handed his first start of the season and added to his statistics with another two tackles (one for a loss). Luckily he meets the criteria for a medical red shirt and will therefore be able to play through the 2015 season.

The injury will be a big loss to a Warrior defense which has been stout against the run so far, leading the mountain west. The unit as a whole seems to be steadily gaining momentum and no doubt this news will be a set back. Brenden Daley will be starting at middle linebacker and Jerrol Garcia-Williams who didn't play in Reno will be back at the SAM. Garcia-Williams is a sophomore who registered a sack at USC and has 12 total tackles on the year. TJ Taimatuia, a junior hasn't seen any game time this year will see more opportunities after being named on the depth chart as Garcia-Williams chief back up.

Running back DJ Riggins verbally agrees to play for Hawaii.

Hawaii landed a verbal commitment for its 2014 recruiting class in three-star running back D.J. Riggins is who stands at 5'11'' and is 170 pounds. According to Stephen Tsai of the Star Advertiser, Riggins can run a 4.46-second, 40-yard dash and can manage a vertical jump of 36 inches.

Riggins is a California native who attends private school Oaks Christian High. Scout.com have him rated as a three star recruit. Hawaii was his only offer but he had interest from Cal, Utah, San Diego State, Fresno State, UCLA, Washington and Fresno State.

He will be the second running back commit to the Warriors after Harris Ross (a two-star recruit) gave a verbal agreement earlier on this year. The total number of recruits with verbals in place for 2014 currently stands at nine.

Hawaii goes on the road to open mountain west play against Nevada. Coming off a bye week the Warriors will be much healthier heading to Reno where they hope to register their first win of the season. Nevada heads into this game after defeats to two of the top 15 teams in the country in UCLA and FSU with a win against the UC Davis sandwiched in the middle. Nevada is as many as 14-point favorite.

The quarterback position promises to be intriguing in this contest with Taylor Graham remaining under center for Hawaii. After a poor performance in the opener, week two seen a better performance from Graham with much better decision making. He looked after the ball and didn't throw up any interceptions. With a capable Sean Schroeder waiting in the wings Chow is standing by his man and it will be interesting to see what affect Graham can have throwing against a mountain west defense for the first time. Graham seen much better protection from his line in the last game after the change on the right side. David Griffin will again be the starter at right tackle. If Graham has less pressure and more time in the pocket he has the potential to be a danger to the Nevada D.

Nevada's situation at quarterback makes for sour reading for Wolf Pack fans. Starter Cody Fajardo is officially day to day in his recovery from an injury suffered against UC Davis. He started the season well throwing for 164 yards and running for 106 with 2 TDs against UCLA. Not only does Fajardo remain a doubt but his back up, Devin Combs who started the game vs FSU injured his knee towards the end of the first half and is ruled out for this game. All of this means that third stringer Tyler Stewart could be the man handed the start. Stewart is a freshman who has only seen significant game time in the second half of the FSU game where he threw an interception. The offensive line, led by senior left tackle Joel Bitonio has been steady through three games giving up only three sacks (0 last time out).

Running back is also a concern for the Wolf Pack. The top two running backs on the team Don Jackson and Kendall Brock are struggling with injuries, and their status is up in the air. Neither had any game time last week and it remains to be seen if either feature this time out. Even if one or both do contribute with any carries the bulk of the load will be placed on red shirt freshman Chris Solomon, who rushed for 110 yards vs FSU.

There's better news for the Rainbow Warriors with Joey Iosefa returning to the line up. After missing the first two games Iosefa will be raring to go and he should see a lot of time on the field after having the extra week to recover thanks to the bye week. Steven Lakalaka will be demoted after leading UH with 13 carries and 39 yards at Oregon State. Diocemy Saint Juste has been named ahead of Lakalaka on the depth chart and will see more than the one carry he had in the last game.

Billy Ray Stutzmann is another big name returning to the Hawaii offense. The receiver is another boost to the unit and he will be worked back in gradually. Scott Harding and Chris Gant are the stand out receivers through the first two games of the season and both should see a lot of targets from Graham. Graham likes to spread the ball about so watch for names like Keith Kirkwood and Donnie King getting in on the act and having decent numbers on the stat sheet. Jordan Pu'u-Robinson comes in for his first game at tight end, behind starter Harold Moleni.

Brandon Wimberly and Richy Turner both have team leading 15 receptions on the season for Nevada. Turner has 201 yards and 1 TD and Wimberly has 124 yards and 2 TDs. These two are going to be the biggest threats to the Hawaii secondary with contributions expected out of Aaron Bradley and tight end Kolby Arendse. Two freshmen in Hasaan Henderson who has five receptions for 55 yards and Jerico Richardson who is yet to have a reception this year will both be eager to get more opportunities.

Even though Hawaii have conceded an average of 436 yards a game there is some positive things happening to the defense. The Warriors lead the mountain west and rank 40th nationally allowing 124.5 rushing yards per game. The defensive line will be boosted by the return of freshman Kennedy Tulimasealii . There have been some good things for Hawaii through the first two games of the season with five sacks. Brenden Daley will be back in for the start at linebacker after being carted off the field with a concussion against the Beavers. His replacement in that game was Julian Gener who stepped up massively leading the team with 11 tackles and returning an interception for a TD. One of last years stand out players Art Laurel will continue to be a threat rushing the quarterback from either the strong or weak side.

Nevada boast a defensive end in Brock Hekking who is a real threat to Taylor Graham. The junior has a team leading eight sacks in his career at Nevada. A sophomore in Lenny Jones has seven sacks in his two years on the team playing on the opposite side to Hekking. The line-backing core is led by the man in the middle Jordan Dobrich who is also a team captain this season. Dobrich has 18 total tackles in 2013.

The defensive backfield for the Wolf Pack have been a little more solid than the front seven. After three games they have given up a total of 720 receiving yards compared to the 840 yards given up on the ground. Safeties Bryan Lane Jnr and Bryson Keeton both have an interception and have the ability to pick Graham off if he is not on his game. There are no real injuries worrying Nevada on its defense and it should be that little bit better again an extra game into the season.

Hawaii will be looking for a big game from its secondary with the prospect of playing against a third string quarterback. Safety John Hardy-Tuliau leads the group with 10 tackles, including 1.5 for a loss. Marrell Jackson should start at free safety after missing the OSU game through injury. Jackson had an interception against USC and Hawaii will look for more of the same this time out.

This should be an entertaining game with both teams looking to start conference play with a win. The smart money would say that Nevada should win out but I'd be inclined to say Hawaii will cover the spread for the third successive game. However, if the Wolf Pack are forced into starting Tyler Stewart at quarterback then this could be a real close game that UH should be looking to win. It certainly could go either way.
 http://www.mwcconnection.com/football-5/2013/9/20/4752468/hawaii-vs-nevada-week-4-preview Michael Gooding 2013-09-12T19:00:08-07:00 2013-09-12T19:00:08-07:00 Hawaii Football bye week musings: A look at injuries
While it hasn't been the greatest of starts for the Warriors in 2013 they now get time off thanks to the bye week to regroup, and most importantly, get healthy.

With a long list of injuries lengthened following the Oregon State game there is good news for Hawaii heading with the week off. The nasty looking injury to linebacker Brenden Daley has been confirmed to not be as bad as it initially looked. Daley suffered a concussion but he will be available for the game against Nevada. Injuries to safety/long-snapper Kawika Borden and safety Trayvon Henderson will not keep them out of any games either.

In both games thus far the Warriors have been missing possibly their biggest receiving weapon in Billy Ray Stutzmann. Stutzmann, a senior, was injured in a one car collision back in July. He had to sit out all of training camp and the first two weeks of the season whilst recovering from a concussion. There is a growing hope that he will be available after the week off for the trip to Reno, Nevada. He will return to light practice with the team this week and there's an air of optimism.

Last year Stutzmann, a Honolulu native, was the teams leading receiver in receptions (35) and yards (447). He started seven and played in a total of 10 games (missing two to due injury) and ranked tenth in the mountain west in both receptions per game and receiving yards per game. Furthermore, he managed at least one reception in each of the 10 games he played a part in. In fact Stutzmann has caught a pass in 23 straight games dating back to his freshman year. Whilst the other receivers at UH have done their best to step up to the plate during these past two weeks there is no doubt the return of Stutzmann will be a welcome one.

After traveling with the team to Corvallis both running back Joey Iosefa and defensive tackle Kennedy Tulimasealii did not end up getting on the field. The bye week comes at a perfect time to give both of them more practice time and to get them 100 percent going into the Wolfpack game. Iosefa will be the number one running back on the depth chart on his return to the team and Tulimasealii will be a vital extra body to put into the interior defensive line rotation.

A player I have not yet touched on is tight end Jordan Pu'u-Robinson. He too has been missing for the first 2 games and should be back for game three. Pu'u Robinson is another senior who has the ability to influence the Hawaii offense. Before he ended up with the Warriors he spent three years with the Washington State program, however he only actually played for one after red-shirting his first year and missing the entire second because of injury. He only participated in two games last year, also because of injury and spent some of his time on defense at defensive tackle. His comeback could have a big impact in the rushing attack with his history on the defense he could be a valuable blocker for Graham to utilize.

Another important announcement was made by head coach Norm Chow that Taylor Graham will remain the starter at quarterback. After being picked off four times and sacked seven times against USC, he was not picked off at all against OSU and was only sacked three times. He managed a stat line of 10 completions from 20 passes and a touchdown. Sean Schroeder did come in with around seven minutes left in the fourth quarter but Chow is adamant that there is no change at quarterback forthcoming.

Following the loss in Corvallis on saturday there has been a suspension handed down to special teams coordinator Chris Demarest. He was suspended for yelling at Oregon State running back Jovan Stevenson after his late hit on Hawaii's Trayvon Henderson on an Oregon State punt return. Demarest is suspended from coaching in the game in Nevada but is allowed to coach at practice. Stevenson will be suspended from the first half of the Beavers game against Utah.

Hawaii dropped their second loss of the season but did a lot better than most expected in Corvallis.

The Rainbow Warriors went into this game a massive underdog but the final result speaks volumes for the effort that was put in. Hawaii were behind early on when Sean Mannion completed a 48 yard pass to Storm Woods that set up a simple 3 yard receivng touchdown for Kellen Clute. There was even worse news to come when on the kick off return Brenden Daley was injured and needed an ambulance and a strectcher. All seems to be okay after he was seen to acknowledge the crowd and his teammates before going on to the hospital. Later it was said that he had suffered a concussion. Anytime that Daley will miss will be significant, he was the defensive leader against USC with 10 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.

Things then went bad to worse when the beavers drove all the way from their own 31 yard line to go a total of 69 yards in 15 plays to set up a 19 yard pass touchdown to Richard Mullaney. The series took a lot out of the defense and lasted a little over eight minutes. However the Warriors defense wasn't going to lie down, and after the offense went another 3 and out they managed to hold OSU to a 3 and out of their own which included a sack for a loss of 10 yards by Julian Gener.

On the ensuing Warrior drive there was another 3 and out after Graham failed to complete a pass to Vasquez Haynes at 3rd and 7. Mannion snapped the ball at his own 28 yard line after the punt and was duly picked off by Julian Gener who was responsible for the sack on the drive before. Gener returned the ball all the way for a touchdown and suddenly there was still life in the whole of the Hawaii team.

The defense played well for the rest of the first half, seemingly reacting the way Daley would've hoped to the injury early on in the first quarter. Siasau Matagiese was inspired on the next drive, tackling Storm Woods for a four yard loss, then on the very next play tackling Connor Hamlett for another three yards loss after the completed pass from Mannion. OSU went 3 and out again and suddenly the offense took over at their own 20.

The best was yet to come when Taylor Graham and Steven Lakalaka led a rushing attack all the way down to the OSU 42. Graham then completed a pass for 25 yards to Chris Gant. Another 15 yard completion to Clark Evans and suddenly the Warriors were level at 14-14. This would be how the teams went in to half time.

Unfortunately this was to be as good as it got for Hawaii. In the third quarter the Warriors managed just two drives which both went 3 and out either side of two scores for OSU. Not surprisingly it was Brandin Cooks that done the damage with a pair of eight yard touchdowns from Mannion after great work on the ground from Storm Woods and Terron Ward. Any hope that Hawaii had at the half suddenly vanished and a 14-14 scoreline was now 28-14 to end the third.

Again in the fourth there was no way Hawaii could sustain anything after good work from Charles Clay and John Hardy-Tuliau to stop a 10 play Beaver drive. Later the defense managed to hold OSU to another field goal and then Steven Lakalaka was tackled for a one yard loss that resulted in a safety. The score was now 33-14 and all was over. There were a few nice completions in garbage time by Sean Schroeder but that was that.

Looking at the box score it is clear that whilst the defense gave up 508 total yards there is no way they can be expected to do much when the offense can barely get going. The offense had a mere 239 total yards with a 3rd down effiency rate of 1-11. There is no way that is good enough, and until those numbers improve then it will be a long season for Hawaii. With the defense being on the field for almost 40 minutes of the game there isn't a surprise that eventually it cracked in the second half. Holding OSU to just 57 yards on the ground is something they can take solace from. Until the offense improves there is going to be nothing the D can do.

Hawaii offensive player of the game: Scott Harding.

Harding had a team high five receptions for a gain of 42 yards and an average of 8.4. He also had 4 punts with a net average of 41.3 yards.

Hawaii defensive player of the game: Julian Gener.

Gener is a junior who stepped up at linebacker when Daley was carted off. Gener picked off Mannion and returned it for a touchdown and also had a sack along with six solo tackles and 11 tackles in total.

I am 19 years old, turning 20 in May. I am 6'7 and half and I would really like to stop growing. For the record, I am also white lol. I believe my dad stopped growing when he was 19-20 and my mom stopped growing when she was 17. My dad is 6'2 and a half and my mom is 5'11. Last year I was 6'6 165lbs and now I am 6'7 and a half 186lbs. My dad told me that since I started to put on muscle, that's a good sign I am most likely done growing. What do you guys think?
I think you should stop worrying about it and eat a lot. You're almost 6'8 and you're under 200 pounds? That's just awful.
Roll Tide.
Don't worry about it, cause there's not a thing you can do about it.
5/3/1 Journal
I'm gonna go ahead and second the "eat more" post. Also, don't be a smartass to that post because it was the best advice given in this entire thread. If you're a 6'8 man, then trust me, you're going to be needing to eat a lot and take some supplements.
My journal.
What are your goals? To get as strong as possible? To improve your performance in a sport? If you want to get as strong as possible I would say that you need to be at least 350. If you are an athlete then at least 250.
Roll Tide.
With my genetics, I don't think it would be possible to get even close to 300. I have been skinny my entire life. I would like to one day get around 225 though. I usually take small steps at a time. For instance, I'll try to gain 5 lbs within two months and once I achieved that I'll set another small goal.
Reko, if you're going to be a complete jackass, just please leave my thread. I don't need that.
Well if you don't think you can gain the weight you never will. Honestly just eat more. Don't be one of those guys who makes everything much harder than it needs to be because "ZOMG my abz are sooo hawt." You can't flex bone. Try bumping it up to 5000 calories/day.
Roll Tide.
yeah you might need to start eating 4500-5000 cals a day
lots of ways to make it easier to get all those cals
i'm a big promoter of milk
4 liters a day of semi-skimmed milk gives 2000 cals and 140 grams of protein (depending on brand).... spacing out 8, 500ml glasses through the days makes it easy.
you could even pm 'BigTallOx' on this board... he's 6 foot 8... used to be skinny.... and now weighs 305lbs
At at 6'8 and 225 you wont look good at all. And 3500 calories really is NOTHING at all. I am 5'11 and 190 and I eat more than you... that says a lot. At 4-5k calories a day you should be packing the pounds a lot easier.
And don't blame genetics for gods sake... grow some balls please. Genetics is the reason why you may be thin but it's not the reason why you can't gain weight. I'm sure you have heard this expression before but there is no such thing as a hard gainer, only an under eater. If you were eating 6-7k calories at your height and weight per day and not gaining weight I would be suspicious of other factors but right now only 3.5k? If your gaining at 3.5k than you must have a freakin slow metabolism and/or look like an Ethiopian. I am not trying to be a dick but rather put things in perspective. You think your eating a lot but really, your barely scratching the surface.
and you may not want to reach 300 lbs... but my point was if your not gonna take the good advice everyone is giving you in this thread... theres people on this board that are your height and have successfully bulked and they may be able to shine more light on how many cals a 6 foot 8 man needs to look like a man.
off the top of my head I'd say try eating 4500 cals a day, 200 grams of protein, and 3 days a week lift heavy weights (squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press etc)... and see where that takes u.
What you should wish for is gaining more muscle, since that is something you can control directly. 186lbs is way too light for someone your height.

Most people knew Kenny from his involvement in the senior section of the club. However he was involved in coaching and refereeing in the mini junior section for several years as well. We coached a team together after I decided I needed a forwards coach. I had completed my coaching courses and knew all about how we had to be "nicey nicey" with the kids, teaching them about sportsmanship, being friendly with the opposition etc. The first thing Kenny did was to teach the kids how to growl !! and the kids loved him from that moment on. His best quote....."remember kids it's not the taking part, it's the winning that counts".He instilled in the kids how rugby was about having fun as a team and he insisted we take introduce them to touring. Off we went to Dublin, Edinburgh, York, Glasgow and Keswick. It was while on tour in Edinburgh we had a stadium tour of Murrayfield. The kids loved sitting in the changing rooms, walking down the tunnel to the pitch, but not as much as Kenny did! Then it was up to view the Calcutta Cup. This is my favourite photo, Kenny and I with big smiles....well actually we were both laughing as he was trying to pull the cup towards him and I was trying to pull it towards me. The Scottish and English rivalry at its best, between two good friends....isn't rugby a great game.

By Corey McSweeney , Analyst Mar 22, 2009 Share Tweet Next ARTICLE » Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories (Photo by Marc Serota/Getty Images) 239 Reads 0 Comments I love March Madness. Seriously is there anything better than the upsets we see year after...well umm not this year. The lack of upsets is astounding. If every game was won by the top seeds, the Sweet 16 matchups would be the No.1 seeds versus No.4 and No. 2 seeds versus the No. 3 seeds. OK, so let's look at the East. Pitt vs. Xavier. No. 1 vs. No. 4. Nova vs. Duke. No. 2 vs. No. 3. South UNC vs. Gonzaga. No. 1 vs. No. 4 Oklahoma vs. Syracuse. No. 2 vs. No. 3 Midwest Kansas vs. Michigan State. No. 2 vs. No. 3. West Mizzou vs. Memphis. No. 2 vs No. 3. Look at those. The only two matchups I skipped was the Purdue-UConn matchup, which is a tame No. 1 vs. No. 5, and the No. 1 vs No. 12 matchup of Louisville and the mid-major story of the year, Arizona. Oh wait, no. It's the Arizona team that's in the tourney every year and won the championship in 1997. Yeah, that Cinderella. So things didn't shape out the way we would all like to see, but you would have to think this will call for some better quality basketball next weekend. Stay Tuned.

Review for this cottage.
This cottage was even more wonderful than we expected. When we walked in we felt as if we were walking into a warm, clean and inviting atmosphere. We brought our dog and the location was perfect for walking him, lots of quiet streets to navigate. We fished off the dock and watched the fish jump all around us without a nibble. I would highly recommend this wonderful retreat to vacationers that want to relax and enjoy the quiet southern pace of life. Jo Ann returned our deposit check promptly with a lovely note of thanks.

If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, look no further! We have stayed at the BAMBOO COTTAGE multiple times & have been delighted. It has everything you need, including a washer and dryer. The kitchen makes it very easy to prepare a meal ... and the porch swing is highly recommended to sip your morning coffee =) Lastly, the owners were very accomodating in giving us access to the propery since were arrived after hours. Again, if you looking for a place in the area ... look no further!
Guestbook Comment
Good morning Missy! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandy Garden Cottage. All of us were so excited to see such a clean, bright and airy place to stay and we already have started planning on coming back. In addition, we were blown away with the water view. We loved New Bern and had a great time walking around and enjoying the great food at the places your recommended. We will definitely be back. Take care and thank you so much for your hospitality.

R. Kelly never really went away, but in 2013 he has crept back into pop culture nonetheless. He spent the summer headlining large summer festivals, basking in the glow of fans singing his discography back to him. He managed to—if even for a moment—usurp Daft Punk at Coachella during the encore of Phoenix's closing set, belting out the opening notes of "Bump N' Grind" to a dead silent crowd waiting for a curtain to drop and reveal a giant pyramid. He would then appear on the remix of the Frenchies' "Trying To Be Cool" and later on tracks by Justin Bieber ("PYD") and Lady Gaga. The latter collaboration—the deliciously slinky "Do What U Want"—was a runaway hit that led to appearances on SNL and the American Music Awards, both of which were easily Kelly's most high-profile television looks in half a decade.
It has been a fun year for the 46-year-old, an unexpected and smooth resurgence at a time when it looked like he was content to rest in the soft embrace of R&B radio and sold out 5,000 capacity theaters. The nightcap is his 13th solo album Black Panties, which tosses aside the classic soul of his previous two albums (2010's Love Letter and last year's Write Me Back) for a deep dive into the sounds of contemporary bumping and grinding. For much of the past 10 years, Kelly's career has been defined by trying to balance his traditionalist roots with a desire to continually update his sound. He has more or less been able to maintain that balance, like on TP3 Reloaded or Double Up, two albums that feature a number of regrettable collaborations (The Game? Kid Rock??) but also a handful of his most indelible tracks. But we also saw the singer reek of desperation on 2009's Untitled, a drab and misguided album slathered in AutoTune that is inarguably the low point of his career.
Black Panties establishes a third position. There is no "I'm a Flirt (Remix)" or "Same Girl" or "Trapped in the Closet" here, standout singles that rejigger his entire career. There are also few if any profoundly novel album cuts—be it anything as truly outlandish as "The Zoo" or effortlessly tuneful as "Kickin' It With Your Girlfriend" or "Freaky in the Club"—that quietly register as some of his best work. Instead, Black Panties is thematically coherent and consistently listenable, not unlike Love Letter in that sense, though of course different in just about every other.
The album is almost exclusively about pussy—which, duh, R. Kelly. No one has sung as prolifically about pussy as the man whose debut album sports a nearly seven minute long song called "I Like the Crotch On You", and perhaps no one will in our lifetimes. On the one hand, Kells reinforces his identity here: for him, comparing pussy to a cookie (on, well, "Cookie") is not a one-bar metaphor. It is instead an entire song in which he sings about "lick[ing] the middle like an Oreo." This is the power of R. Kelly: it will be impossible to eat an Oreo for a while without thinking of cunnilingus. He has fundamentally altered your existence.
There is also something undeniably great about a song like "Marry the Pussy," in which Kelly gives the song's subject an entire persona: "Pussy talk to me/Pussy sing to me/ Yeah, so much joy it bring to me." With a song like this, Kelly allows himself to be more human than the rest of us. It is not ridiculous that he wants to marry a pussy—that level of carnality exists somewhere in all of us, male or female. His brilliance is in routinely bringing out into the open the things that—with good reason!—stay in the darkest corners of our minds. In disrupting the social order, maybe his music helps preserve it as well.
But, in the context of his own discography at least, Black Panties isn't as gleefully absurd as we've come to expect from him. It's not exactly that every R. Kelly song needs to construct an entire fable (TP3's "Sex Weed" is a good example of him losing the plot), but that at its best his dirtiest tracks have the frission of the legitimately unexpected—each song has the potential to be its own developed story, or to shock the public anew. With Black Panties, what you see is mostly what you get.
What we get is a pretty good modern R&B album, but it's also one that feels just a bit fossilized. With its undulating synths, abundance of screwed vocals and slowly churning tempos, Black Panties sounds suspiciously like the-Dream's first two albums. Tracks like "Throw This Money On You" (which is still pretty great) and "Genius" (which is not) sound ripped almost wholesale from the album in which the-Dream wrote a song called "Kelly's 12 Play", where he obsessively details fucking to Kelly's debut album. At times, listening to Black Panties can be like watching the snake eat its own tail. There are also a number of tracks in which Kelly collaborates with current stars like Migos ("Show Ya Pussy") or DJ Mustard ("Spend That"), and though none come off anywhere nearly as poorly as his song with OJ Da Juiceman, there is also an instant loss of individuality that renders them a bit useless.
Black Panties concludes with "Shut Up," in which he condemns critics, haters and ex-friends who declared his career dead. Considering his numerous past transgressions with minors, the song (which is actually about his vocal surgery) is rather tone-deaf, though that is not exactly a new development either. But it does end the album on a defiant note that is as jarring as it is energizing. The Pied Piper of R&B finds himself head over heels in love with pussy, yet he refuses to settle down. Or maybe, that is precisely why he won't.
