Tyler Graunke participated in individual passing drills, but JC transfers Greg Alexander and Brent Rausch took the backup QB reps to starter Inoke Funaki at this morning’s practice. Coach Greg McMackin told Jason Kaneshiro he wants to get the JC guys more work. Graunke’s hand is still not 100 percent. … About a half dozen Warriors did punishment drills after practice. … No test results yet for injured DT Rocky Savaiigaea.

Greg McMackin told the team it’s time to move on from the San Jose State loss and look ahead. You’re allowed to wallow in a loss 48 hours, and then that’s it.

Saturday’s task is daunting, at Fresno State.

McMackin reiterated what Jason reported today, that Inoke Funaki remains the starting quarterback.

Three players will be doing punishment drills for personal fouls committed in Saturday’s game. McMackin is questioning several other calls, and plans to send them to the conference for review.

McMackin said WR Malcolm Lane (concussion), RB Kealoha Pilares (concussion) and CB Ryan Mouton (ribs) will be OK to play against FSU after suffering injuries against SJSU. DT Rocky Savaiigaea (triceps) is out and starting to look like a good candidate for a medical redshirt. LB Blaze Soares (calf, ankle) remains out.

Hawaii is now 1-3 after its ugly loss (six turnovers, 115 penalty yards) to San Jose State last night. Can what ails the Warriors be cured as they head into the meat of the WAC schedule, including games at Fresno State and Boise State?

RB Kealoha Pilares and WR Malcolm Lane both suffered concussions in last night’s 20-17 loss to San Jose State. Both were shaken up in the first half, Pilares after scoring his second touchdown.

By Dave Reardon

Kealoha Pilares scored on runs of 34 and 1 yards and Dan Kelly kicked a 37-yard field goal  to give Hawaii a 17-7 lead against San Jose State at halftime. … Receiver Malcolm Lane did not play most of the first half after starting, and it was announced that his return in the second half would be doubtful. Royce Pollard replaced him. … Daniel Libre replaced Pilares late in the first half, and Pilares’ return was announced as questionable. … Inoke Funaki completed 14 of 20 passes for 158 yards and was intercepted once in the first half. … Aaron Bain has 4 catches for 67 yards.

What impressed me most today was Hawaii’s ability to rally late in Set 3. Down 18-13. There’s not much room for mistakes.NMSU coach Mike Jordan was very impressed with Hawaii’s passing and serve-receive. Says it’s the difference from last year to this.Dave Shoji was very happy as well. He said the players joked about sweeping and then they did it.
