Consistency, it seems, can be a snap.

Dating to 2005 — a span of 86 games — an Ingram brother has been a long snapper for the Hawaii football team.

From 2005 through 2008, Jake Ingram played in 54 consecutive games. Beginning in 2009, Luke Ingram has appeared in 32 consecutive games.

The streak was threatened before Luke Ingram’s first game. Shortly before the start of the 2009 training camp, he was stricken with swine flu.

"That was rough," Luke Ingram said. "I was sick for about 10 days. I think I lost about 10 or 15 pounds. I remember being in my room and not being able to eat crackers. I drank a lot of fluids. It’s kind of a blur. It was sleeping, waking up, and going back to sleep."

As a sophomore, he suffered a severely sprained ankle.

"He ran down the field with that bad ankle," UH head coach Greg McMackin said.

Ingram said: "I was hobbling. You just have to fight through it. I don’t know if it’s a pride thing, but I don’t want to let my brother down. I don’t want to be a guy who misses a game."

This year’s training camp provided another test when he suffered an injury to his throwing shoulder.

"Coach Mack gave me a lot of leeway," Ingram said. "He left the final decision to me. They trusted my decision, and let me roll."

Ingram credited trainers Eric Okasaki and Brian Wong with providing a diligent rehabilitation schedule.

"They got me ready," Ingram said. "There’s a difference between being injured and being hurt. If you’re hurt, you can deal with it."

McMackin said he leaves those decisions to the team’s medical staff and the player.

"I would never play anyone if it were going to hurt them," McMackin said. "When the doctors say he’s fine and release him, then I leave it up to the player."

Woodard added to travel roster for SJSU game

After missing the first five games while recovering from foot surgery, defensive end Tavita Woodard made it a point to play in last week’s Scout Bowl involving redshirts and developing players.

One problem: Because Woodard was not scheduled to play, he was only wearing a helmet and shoulder pads for protection.

"I had to pull him because he was rushing the passer with no lower pads on," McMackin said.

Woodard: "I really wanted to play. I wanted to see how far I could go. I wanted to push it more."

Woodard, a McKinley High graduate who played at Eastern Arizona College last year, was added to the Warriors’ travel roster Tuesday.

"He’s been outstanding as a pass rusher and as an end," McMackin said. "He’s a talented guy."

Woodard also has a hectic schedule. In addition to school and football, which keeps him on campus from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he and his girlfriend have a 2-year-old son and twin 6-month-old daughters.

Left guard Leonard returns to practice

Left guard Brett Leonard practiced Tuesday for the first time since being dazed from a late hit he suffered during the Oct. 1 game against Louisiana Tech.

"It’s good to be back," Leonard said. "It’s good to get the nervousness out now, and not have to worry about it Friday."
