A week off allowed members of the University of Hawaii football team to catch up on schoolwork, wash some dirty laundry and to heal up their battered bodies.
But Hawaii is back at work and on the road again this week, playing its third away game in four weeks and opening its WAC schedule at Louisiana Tech on Wednesday night. The game will kick off at 2 p.m., Hawaii time, and will be aired on ESPN2 and radio station AM 900.
UH is 2-1 for the season, opening with a home win over Central Arkansas and then splitting road games by defeating Washington State and losing a heart-breaker at UNLV. LaTech also was idle over the weekend, and is 1-2 following one-sided road losses to Auburn and Navy before routing Nicholls State 48-13.
Defensive tackle Vaughn Meatoga, defensive ends John Fonoti and Paipai Falemalu, and punt returner Ryan Henry declared themselves physically fit for Wednesday's game.
Meatoga and Falemalu are recovering from sprained right ankles. Fonoti missed the first three games because of a hyper-extended left kneecap. Henry is recovering from a strained hamstring.
In weekend game's involving WAC teams, Boise State routed Bowling Green 49-14. The victory, coupled with a shakeup in the AP poll, allowed the Broncos to move into fifth place in the latest national rankings.
Led by Tony Pike's three TD tosses, No. 14 Cincinnati held off visiting Fresno State 28-20. The Bulldogs will visit Hawaii on Oct. 10.
Missouri posted a 31-21 road win over Nevada. Idaho held on to beat Northern Illinois 34-31. Robert Rubin ran for 106 yards and had another 116 as Utah State defeated Southern Utah 53-34. And New Mexico State surprised New Mexico 20-17 ending a six-game skid in the in-state rivalry.
In addition to the UH-LaTech game on Wednesday, games involving WAC teams include: Utah State visiting BYU, Nevada hosting UNLV, New Mexico State at San Diego State, Boise State hosting UC Davis, and Idaho hosting Colorado State.
