BYU - Hawaii Game Summary
(Source: Blue & White Sports Network)
1st Quarter:
Hawaii gets the ball to begin the game, and punts on their first
possession. BYU punts on their first drive also, but pins the
Rainbows on their own one-yard line. The Rainbows go
three-and-out from there and punt once again. A bad punt sets the
Cougars up at the Rainbows 20-yard line. On third down, Kalani
Sitake fumbles for BYU, and Cougars turn it over to Hawaii.
From there, the Rainbows put together an impressive, time-draining
drive that takes up the remainder of the quarter. The Rainbows end
the first quarter on a one-yard run by running back Charles Tharp.
They have the ball second-and-goal from the nine-yard line.
2nd Quarter:
After eating up the clock for most of the 1st quarter, the Rainbows
get the board first early in the second period. Chad Shrout connects
on a 36-yard field goal to give Hawaii the 3-0 lead. KEY PLAYS:
Dan Robinson to Eleu Kane for 19-yards; Robinson to Wesley
Morris for 17-yards, pass interference against BYU.
The Cougars answer with a long drive of their own, and get on the
scoreboard thanks to a 35-yard Owen Pochman field goal. KEY
PLAYS: Kevin Feterik to Aaron Cupp for 16-yards; Feterik to Cupp
again, this one for 13-yards; Feterik to Margin Hooks for 20-yards.
The Rainbows punt near midfield on their next possession. BYU
drives from there, capping a good drive with a 3-yard touchdown run
by Ronney Jenkins. KEY PLAYS: Feterik to Ben Horton for
20-yards; Feterik to Mike Rigell for 20-yards.
Hawaii can't answer, and the Rainbows are forced to punt. BYU
comes back quickly, and finishes off a quick drive with a 13-yard
touchdown pass from Feterik to Rigell. KEY PLAYS: Feterik to
Hooks for 12-yards; Rigell from Feterik for 24-yards. Hawaii gets the
ball back, but with only nine seconds left in the quarter, time runs
out after a long pass.
3rd Quarter:
Hawaii kickoffs to the Cougars to begin the 3rd Quarter, and BYU
wastes no time adding to their lead. Mike Rigell takes the kickoff
and streaks 96-yards to the endzone for the touchdown. Hawaii's
first drive of the second half ends in another punt.
That punt leads to yet another Cougar score, this one a 15-yard
pass from Feterik to Hooks. KEY PLAYS: Junior Mahe with a
20-yard run. The Rainbows respond with a Chad Shrout punt. BYU
can't do anything either and punts the ball back.
New Hawaii quarterback Bronson Liana leads the Rainbows on a
good-looking drive. The Rainbows get down to the BYU four-yard
line, but the drive stalls there and Hawaii turns the ball over on
downs near the 20-yard line. BYU stalls out on offense, however,
and punts the ball back to the Rainbows.
4th Quarter:
Hawaii has the ball to begin the quarter. The Rainbows drive into
BYU territory, but fumble the ball away there. Hans Olsen recovers
for the Cougars, who take over on their own 45. A three-and-out
series by BYU forces another J.D. Hartsfield punt to the Rainbows.
Hawaii returns the favor again as both teams begin substituting
freely.
Garbage time has begun as the Cougars punt once again with 8:14
left in the final period. Hawaii comes back with starting quarterback
Dan Robinson, but the Rainbows still punt. BYU subs take over on
their own 17-yard line, but backup running back Tyrone Brown
fumbles and Rainbows recover on the BYU 21. Two plays later,
Robinson finds Derek Zoller from 23-yards out for the first Hawaii
touchdown of the game. The Cougars, behind backup quarterback
Brandon Doman, run the clock out from there to leave the islands
with the victory.
