Junior Greg Alexander took the vast majority of the practice snaps yesterday, and Hawaii coach Greg McMackin said he could be the starting quarterback when UH opens at Florida on Saturday.
Sophomore Brent Rausch was designated the No. 1 quarterback two weeks ago, but rested a sore throwing arm over the weekend, with Alexander taking over as the starter in practice.
"I gotta see if his arm's OK,' McMackin said of Rausch, who threw a few passes today. "If both are playing good, it could be a game-time decision."
McMackin said he doesn't expect to rotate quarterbacks.
"The first guy in will be the quarterback," he said. "I don't want him looking behind."
McMackin said junior Inoke Funaki is the No. 3 quarterback.
"That's one and two right there," he said, referring to Alexander and Rausch.
Also, McMackin said senior Erik Robinson will start at strong safety. He won a tight camp battle with sophomore Mana Silva. Silva will also play extensively, McMackin said.
