Laupepa Letuli has won the starting job at left tackle, completing the starting lineup for the University of Hawai'i football team's opening game against fifth-ranked Florida Saturday.

The coaches confirmed today that Letuli will open as the backside blocker, beating out Aaron Kia in a competition that lasted five months.

It also was announced that Clarence "Lafu" Tuioti-Mariner will start as right guard. He had missed more than two weeks of practice. Ray Hisatake was the No. 1 right guard during that period. But Tuioti-Mariner, who is one of the strongest Warriors, worked with the No. 1 team today.

Offensive line coach Brian Smith said the starting blockers will be Letuli at left tackle, Keith AhSoon at left guard, John Estes at center, Tuioti-Mariner at right guard and Keoni Steinhoff at right tackle.

Meanwhile, Brent Rausch, who was named the No. 1 quarterback two weeks ago, resumed throwing today.

He worked with the No. 1 team again today.

He had missed the past two practicing, resting a sore right (throwing) arm.

Also at practice today was senior quarterback Tyler Graunke.

Graunke today was wearing his No. 6 orange jersey that quarterbacks wear during practice.

Graunke, who started two games last season and was Colt Brennan's primary backup the past three years, was the co-No. 1 quarterback exiting spring training. On Aug. 1, two days before veterans were scheduled to report to training camp, UH announced that Graunke would be withheld from all team activities until he resolved academic issues.

Also, redshirt freshman Bryce Kalau'oka'a'ea, a former quarterback, was with the running backs at today's practice.
