<p>Hawaii will host Navy in football on Nov. 21, 2009 at Aloha Stadium instead of in the season-opening game on Sept. 5 of that year, UH athletic director Jim Donovan said yesterday.</p>
<p>Navy booked Ohio State for Sept. 5, and Donovan agreed to change the appointment with the Midshipmen.</p>
<p>“We received a request from their athletic director and we made an accommodation for them,” Donovan said. “It’s in our best interest.”</p>
<p>UH is working on one more game to fill the 2009 schedule. It will be booked for Sept. 5 or Dec. 5, Donovan said.</p>
<p>“We’re in discussions about the open dates,” he said. “The good thing is the first and last games of the season are the easiest to book. But we are getting to the 11th hour to fill the 2009 schedule.”</p>
<p>Navy is coached by Ken Niumatalolo, a former Radford and UH quarterback.</p>
