2008 Hawaii Football Preview:
Head Coach: Greg McMackin
Equipped with new uniforms and a new attitude, the Hawaii Warriors are storming into the 2008 season. Fir the first time in history, the Warriors are ranked in the pre-season polls - ranked #23 in the AP Poll and #24 in the Coaches Poll. Last sesaon, the Warriors were the only undefeated FBS team for the regular season in the nation. This year, under the leadership of Greg McMackin, the Warriors are ready to do it all over again. However, they will have to deal with some key losses - namely, the former QB Colt Brennan and his entourage of receivers: Ryan Grice-Mullen, Davone Bess, Jason Rivers and C.J. Hawthorne.
The Warriors will be playing a tough schedule this season, from the very first kickoff onward. This season will be the test of McMackin's ability to make decisive changes that unify this Warrior team. Also, the Warriors will play a school record six road games, meaning that the boys will have to maintain composure away from home. Make sure to grab some tickets to the action, since this Hawaii team will be playing plenty of games in the continental United States this season.
