The University of Hawaii football team ended its first full week of spring training with a new quarterback rotation but still without an announced starter at the position.

In the first three spring practices, Ikaika Woolsey, who started 12 of 13 games in 2014, took the first reps in passing drills. On Saturday, Max Wittek, who redshirted in 2014 after transferring from USC, led the quarterback rotation.

"We’re just shaking it up, seeing what each guy can do," offensive coordinator Don Bailey said.

In 7-on-7 drills, Wittek was 8-for-15 with two scoring passes. Two of his passes were dropped. Woolsey was 8-for-12 with two drops. Beau Reilly, who redshirted in 2014 after completing a two-year church mission, was 9-for-13.

In situational drills, Wittek was 3-for-5, Woolsey 5-for-6, and Reilly 2-for-7.

"They’re moving right along in their progress," Bailey said of the quarterbacks. "They’re right where they should be. The defense has a lot of different looks that make it a little more difficult. We’re not seeing one front and one coverage like some defenses play. Every play is a blitz pickup. Being able to handle that as a unit is a bigger problem than just one guy."

Bailey choreographed FCS’ second-best offense at Idaho State last season. This year, Bailey and head coach Norm Chow integrated the basics of UH’s pro-set schemes with spread concepts taken partially from Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Washington State and West Virginia.

"The timing part, the ball-control part, that kind of stuff, that’s what we still do," Bailey said. "Even though it might look a little different, it’s still the same. Those elements are still in there. It’s just that we get to it a little differently."

UH’s offense has about 50 basic plays that can expand with various offshoots.

"We’re always trying to expand and reduce," Bailey said. "To me, no matter what you’re running, the offense facilitates through the quarterback — what he can handle, what you have in terms of your personnel. Every day is a personnel meeting."

Each quarterback brings unique skill sets.

Bailey said Wittek has benefitted from playing in 13 games for USC.

"He’s got good poise," Bailey said of Wittek. "He sits in there (in the pocket). He can regurgitate what he sees with the defense like a fifth-year senior should. To me, he has the attitude of a fifth-year senior."

Woolsey, who is the best scrambler of the three quarterbacks, was impressive on deep throws. Wideout Terrence Sayles dropped a sure touchdown at the end of a go route.

"He has plenty arm," Bailey said of Woolsey. "He threw a couple balls today that I didn’t expect from him. I like that. He’s getting better at training his eyes and trusting what he sees. I like his progress."

Reilly, who is trying to add bulk to his 6-foot-6 frame, also was able to stretch the defense.

"I’d like for him to be a little faster in his decision-making," Bailey said. "But he stands in there pretty good. And he’s making progress. They’re all on track to where they should be. It’s going to be incrementally better day to day."

The quarterbacks are unavailable to the media this spring until a No. 1 quarterback is announced.

The defense, meanwhile, has been making a statement with new coordinator Tom Mason’s attacking schemes. Mason said he has installed 60 percent of the defense. But with the fire-zone schemes and match-up coverages, the quarterback has little time to release the ball.

"The (defensive backs) know they don’t have to cover very long," Mason said. "They can jump routes and do different things. With the match coverages we play, we’re a lot tighter on the receivers. We’re not tight enough yet. By the end of this thing, we’ll be really tight."

Mason and defensive secondary coach Abraham Elimimian joined the Warriors in February. Defensive line coach Lance Samuseva was promoted from intern. Linebackers coach Kurt Gouveia has an expanded role.

"I enjoy this defense," said cornerback Ne’Quan Phillips, who made an interception and forced a fumble during team drills on Saturday. "We’re out there having fun. We’re loose out there. We’re not worried about the coaches getting on us. They let us play. They correct us in the film room. Out (on the field), they just let us be."
