WARRIOR QUARTERBACK GREG ALEXANDER IS OUT FOR THE SEASON. THE SENIOR INJURED HIS LEFT KNEE IN HAWAII'S LOSS TO LOUISIANA TECH THIS PAST WEDNESDAY. AND THE WARRIORS STAFF WILL HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE ON WHO WILL BE THE NEXT IN LINE TO RUN THE OFFENSE.
ACCORDING TO SOURCES CLOSE TO THE SITUATION...ALEXANDER HAS A TORN ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT, AMONG OTHER DAMAGE IN THE KNEE.
WHAT'S WORSE...THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE IS A SENIOR, AND MAY NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR A MEDICAL HARDSHIP YEAR BECAUSE HE HAS PLAYED NEARLY 30-PERCENT OF THE SEASON BUT HE REDSHIRTED AT HIS JUNIOR COLLEGE MAKING IT QUESTIONABLE WHETHER HE'LL BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN EXTRA YEAR. U-H WILL LIKELY PETITION THE NCAA FOR AN EXTRA YEAR AT THE END OF THE SEASON.
BRYANT MONIZ...A THIRD-YEAR SOPHOMORE OUT OF LEILEHUA...REPLACED ALEXANDER...GOING 5-FOR-11 FOR 109-YARDS.
MONIZ, SHANE AUSTIN, AND BRENT RAUSCH, WHO'S STILL NURSING A BROKEN PINKIE....ARE THE LIKELY LEADING CANDIDATES TO TAKE OVER AT QUARTERBACK, GOING FORWARD.
WARRIORS HOST WAC-RIVAL FRESNO STATE...OCTOBER 10TH.
