HALFTIME SCORE: Hawaii 14, Colorado State 7
The Hawaii football team had a shot at bowl eligibility today with a third straight victory in Mountain West Conference play. The Rainbow Warriors (5-2, 2-1) were up against Colorado State (2-4, 1-1) at Canvas Stadium.
To prepare for the high altitude of Fort Collins (5,003 feet!), safeties coach Nick Locher incorporated 'peanut-punch' motions into push-ups. This technique aims to dislodge the football from the ball carrier. Talk about innovative training!
The Warriors, who arrived late Thursday, practiced for 90 minutes at Rocky Mountain High on Friday. They finished with 50-yard sprints to maintain stamina in the thin air.
Here's an interesting tidbit: Hawaii has a strong track record, winning three of the last four games in this series. Coach Timmy Chang's road record is 3-16, but he did secure a win against Air Force just three weeks ago.
