Greg Salas News

Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo and his Midshipmen are officially the away team against Hawaii but there will be plenty of hometown cheers for the island-born coach and his players Saturday.

Jon Medeiros had a prime spot to pick up the finer points of playing slotback in the Hawaii run-and-shoot. When Medeiros joined the program in 2007, he noted the intrinsic connection between the quarterback and receivers vital to the smooth operation of the offense while practicing behind the Warriors' prolific crew of pass catchers.

Inspired by the Michael Jackson documentary 'This Is It,' Hawai'i head coach Greg McMackin said his football team would live by the words of 'Man In the Mirror.' Two weeks later, hold up a mirror to the Warriors and there will be evidence of a breath.

Having two starters sitting out yesterday wasn't exactly ideal. Still, there was a sense of relief that the injuries to quarterback Bryant Moniz and receiver Greg Salas weren't more severe.

SAN JOSE, Calif.>> It's been more than two decades since Dick Tomey's tenure as Hawaii football coach ended, yet his imprint on the program endures.

Yesterday's practice did very little to reveal the status of Hawaii's primary offensive players heading into tomorrow's game against San Jose State.

When the Hawai'i football coaches call roll, there is no doubt who will respond 'here.' Center John Estes has made 51 consecutive starts, the longest current streak in Division I-A football.

It isn't just in Halawa on Saturday nights that they have come to prize the remarkable skills of University of Hawai'i junior slotbacker Greg Salas.

Davone Bess, a former Hawai'i football receiver now with the Miami Dolphins, has this message for Warrior Nation: 'Why would you let Greg Salas break my record?' Bess said, laughing.

In the afterglow of Hawai'i's 24-6 football victory over New Mexico State last night, Warrior slotback Jon Medeiros prepared for the inevitable pain.

Bryant Moniz threw for 294 yards before leaving the game injured at the beginning of the fourth quarter as Hawaii defeated New Mexico State 24-6. Greg Salas had a school record 16 catches for 196 yards and a touchdown.

Some people will tell you Nick Rolovich's eight-touchdown performance against Brigham Young in 2001 was his finest moment with the University of Hawai'i football team.

University of Hawai'i receiver Greg Salas is back at the top nationally in receiving yards, according to NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision statistics released today.

Leon Wright-Jackson ran for two touchdowns to lift Hawai'i to a 17-0 lead over New Mexico State at halftime of a Western Athletic Conference football game at Aloha Stadium.

To think, Greg Salas might have been using those hands to knock down passes rather than reel them in.

What would life be without replay? A lot less painful at times, of course. I'm reminded of Ontario, Calif., 2003: the University of Hawaii football team between mainland games at USC and UNLV.

Bryant Moniz knows he has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal on offense. Last night, his most lethal one was Greg Salas.

Bryant Moniz threw four touchdowns and Leon Wright-Jackson ran for a career-best 167 yards and three scores to help Hawaii snap a six-game losing streak with a 49-36 victory over Utah State on Saturday night.

A team on its way down the Western Athletic Conference ladder--Hawaii--meets Saturday with a team that believes it is on its way up the ladder, in Utah State.
