As the curtain is raised on the 2022-23 college football season, it’s time to start answering questions and solving some mysteries. There might be no bigger mystery team than Hawaii, which is rebuilding with first-year coach Timmy Chang.
The Warriors return only six starters after several players deserted the program amid dissension caused by former coach Todd Graham. Chang, a record-setting quarterback at Hawaii, initially indicated he was reviving the run-and-shoot offense and planning to start a new QB, Cammon Cooper, a transfer from Washington State. Chang apparently has changed plans.
The starting quarterback will be Brayden Schager, a sophomore who started three games last year, and Chang is being vague when describing his new-look offense.
In the Saturday nightcap in Honolulu, the Warriors are big underdogs to Vanderbilt. The line opened Commodores -2 this summer and is all the way up to -9.5 after a respected tout service released Vanderbilt as a play at -6.5 this week.
