Fortunately for the Hawaii football team, bad news does not come in fours.

“What happened to (Royce) Pollard?” UH head coach Greg McMackin asked after Wednesday’s practice.

McMackin appeared relieved when told Pollard was taking a final exam. Pollard, the right wideout, is the only one of the Warriors’ four starting receivers not to have missed a practice because of injury this training camp.

“You have to look at the positives,” offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich said. “A lot of the younger guys are getting work.”

In the first seven practices, the starting receivers have not practiced together. Left wideout Darius Bright, who attempted a comeback Monday, still is suffering from a sprained big toe on his right foot.

“Can’t move into a house if it isn’t built yet,” Bright said of his injury, which he incurred during a charity event last month.

Left slotback Billy Ray Stutzmann and right slotback Miah Ostrowski are suffering from what they termed as “tweaked” hamstrings.

That opened the way for wideouts Cecil Doe and Allen Sampson, and slotbacks Justin Clapp, Corey Paclebar and Edu Amadi.

“We slowed down the teaching to save some legs,” Rolovich said. “They said it helped them more than any other practice.”

Wednesday, the Warriors created scout teams to simulate opponents’ offenses and defenses.

Left tackle Austin Hansen, who is on NCAA suspension and ineligible to play until the bowl game, practiced as a scout.

Jeremy Higgins is the scout quarterback. As an NCAA requirement, he is redshirting this season after transferring from Utah State.

“It’s a good learning experience,” Higgins said. “I’ve never been a scout player before. It’s fun. I get to help out the defense. Plus, I get to go against the best (defensive) guys every day.”

McMackin said he has scheduled a full-speed, full-contact scrimmage involving the first-year Warriors this morning. Only the quarterback is off limits.

“We just haven’t seen them hit,” McMackin said. “Anybody who’s been in games or competition, we know what they can do. We don’t need to look at them. With these new players, we want to make sure these safeties can tackle and do their jobs.”
