TEAM STATISTICS ![]() Harding said: "It’s a tough one to swallow again. They did a good job, and our guys didn’t win enough of those. "Any time you get man, it’s a one-on-one battle," UH receivers coach Luke Matthews said. The Rams played man coverages, attacking the backfield while daring the Warriors to throw. "We have to score points when we have the ball like we did." "We can’t come away with a field goal," Chow said. Two UH drives deep into CSU territory resulted in two field goals. UH quarterback Ikaika Woolsey finished 16-for-47 for 192 yards after going 6-for-22 for 56 yards in the first half. Running back Joey Iosefa’s somersault scoring run in the third quarter ended a drought of 18 consecutive full drives without a touchdown. On offense, the Warriors had difficulty cobbling together plays. There are a couple of key things that have to get fixed. And big plays in the (secondary) really hurt us. ![]() "We have to stop the run game," Clune said. On the next play, Hart scored from 7 yards. In the third quarter, Lovett caught a pass along the left sideline, slipped a tackle and raced another 25 yards for a 71-yard gain. The Rams fumbled seven times, but lost only one, when Scott Harding’s skipping punt ricocheted off a returner.Īnd they missed tackles. The Warriors had difficulty stopping the run, then did not apply enough pressure on Grayson. And they took advantage of something we need to get corrected." "Where the heck did they get that guy from?" Chow said of Jarrells, who transferred from Grossmont College this year. Treyous Jarrells, a speedy perimeter-turning runner, contributed 69 yards and two touchdowns. Dee Hart, who transferred after earning a bachelor’s degree in three years at Alabama, rushed 11 times for 115 yards and a touchdown. The Rams had all the right answers with their multiple-choice offense. "There’s a guy who’s supposed to be there," Clune said, "and he wasn’t there." The Warriors had called a coverage in which a defender was assigned to track Lovett. Grayson said: "It’s our dinosaur play, I guess. ![]() "They called it," Lovett said, "and we scored on it." Lovett was by his lonesome when Grayson launched the pass. Lovett’s touchdown materialized on Grayson’s play-action deception. The Warriors have relinquished 11 scoring passes of 30-plus yards this season, including five in the past two games. The Warriors closed to 7-5 when a handoff exchange malfunctioned in the CSU end zone for a safety and Tyler Hadden made a 40-yard field goal.īut then Grayson connected on two scoring passes - 52 yards to Charles Lovett and 30 to Steven Walker - to widen the Rams’ lead to 21-5 with 14:55 left in the first half. Grayson opened the scoring with an 8-yard strike to Elroy Masters Jr., who took over Higgins’ spot in the rotation. He was not sacked, and was infrequently pressured. But Grayson bit his mouthpiece, then threw for 278 yards and four touchdowns. Quarterback Garrett Grayson also was iffy because of a groin injury and shoulder ailment. He went through pregame drills before he was declared out, a decision reinforced when the coaches took away his helmet. Wideout Rashard Higgins, who entered as the national leader in receiving (142.2 yards per game) and touchdown catches (13), did not play because of a bruised shoulder. And you can just tell by the way his team plays."Īnd on this night the Rams were not even whole. (CSU coach) Jim McElwaine is a good friend (and) an excellent football coach. "I vote every week in the coaches’ poll," UH coach Norm Chow said, "and I rank ’em every week. The Rams entered unranked but not unloved. "But what else can you do but keep on fighting?" In falling to 2-8 and 1-4, the Warriors extended losing streaks to 17 on the road and 20 on national television. They are tied for the national lead in victories. The Rams rolled up 580 yards, including 293 on rushes, to improve to 9-1 overall and 5-1 in the Mountain West. While praising the Rams’ game plan, personnel and execution, UH defensive coordinator Kevin Clune groused: "There’s no reason a team should put up 49 on us." Colorado State concocted a cocktail of ways to overpower Hawaii for a 49-22 football victory before 25,236 at Hughes Stadium on Saturday night. ![]()
