Video: UH defense confident despite changes, loses

Advertiser Staff

The University of Hawaii football team lost two all-conference defensive ends and must learn a new defensive alignment.

But Keala Watson and others are making the adjustment and are confident after five days of fall camp.

The defense must replace draftees Ikaika Alama-Francis (Lions) and Melila Purcell (Browns), who were both all-Western Athletic Confererenc first-team players.

The defense also is converted from a 3-4 alignment to a 4-3.

See Leila Wai'svideo of today's practice.
