Greg Alexander will miss the rest of the season
When Hawaii hosts Fresno State this Saturday, the Warriors will be without the services of QB Greg Alexander, Colt Brennan‘s successor. Alexander severely injured his left knee during Wednesday’s loss at Louisiana Tech when he was pushed out of bounds by linebacker Adrien Cole. After the diagnosis, it was determined that Alexander must undergo season ending knee surgery to repair ligament damage.
This is particularly bad news for the Warriors as they are an extremely pass happy team who will now have to rely on a quarterback who has no real game experience. Before the LA Tech game, Alexander led the nation in total offense (446 yards), ranked second in passing (411.3 yards) and fifth in passing efficiency (178.8).
Coach Greg McMackin now must decided between JUCO transfer Bryant Moniz or Sophomore Shane Austin. Whichever QB gets the not, he will have a monumental task to live up to Alexander’s moxie.
