UH, Oregon State set '08 date
Hawaii has not finished working on its 2007 football schedule, but the Warriors have added another nonconference road game for 2008.
UH will play at Oregon State on Sept. 13, 2008, two weeks after a game at Florida. The Warriors also have a home game set for Nov. 29 against Washington State. The OSU-Hawaii game is listed on the Beavers' future schedules on their Web site. Hawaii can schedule two more nonconference games for next season.
Athletic director Herman Frazier said he is still working on adding a 13th and final game for 2007. He said he is in contact with "five Division I-A" teams, according to a UH spokeswoman.
