eight and oh but now the going really gets tough [Music] as the university of hawaii football regular season hits its most difficult stretch the warriors put their unbeaten record on the line against the bulldogs of fresno state hello again everybody welcome to our coverage of university of hawaii football i'm jim leahy along with jim donovan and when you look at this game jim you're looking at the passing of hawaii against the running of fresno state and fresno state is the first team since the hawaii bowl when hawaii faced arizona state that has a winning record and they can run the ball if they are able to run the ball then hawaii's passing will have to be off the field for as long as they run the ball when you look at the two teams tonight it seems that if fresno state can keep up with hawaii by moving the ball on the ground which is primarily what they do it'll be a close game jim i definitely think that's the key they run the ball about 60 percent of the time and what they're going to count on is three running backs but unfortunately two of them are injured so that'll put more pressure on their quarterback tom brand stater he's gonna have to have a good game but you know he's known to step up to the plate against big teams this year their only three losses come to texas a m oregon and boise state and all three of those games he had a big game jim people are not even arguing anymore that the hawaii receiving corps is the best in the nation and the reason for that is once they catch the pass they run with the ball and they run for fantastic yardage colt brennan tonight is only two career touchdowns away from the ncaa all-time record of 121 held by ty detmer so the hawaii receiving court tonight if they are on their game and cult brennan is on his game hawaii could be celebrating their ninth win in a row when we come back we'll get things started tough rough fresno state against hawaii this exclusive sports presentation of the home team is sponsored by

can they keep up with the warriors the warriors lead the nation in scoring offense at 51.9 points a game they need clifton smith ronnie miller and ryan matthews to have a great night at running back and for the warriors can they dominate the front seven the warrior o line has to step it up and control the line of scrimmage this is likely the best front seven they have played since last season special concern number 11 tyler klutz and number 94 john manga injury report sponsored by hmsa working for a healthier hawaii fresno state ryan matthews is not a hundred percent he did warm up but he may play he may not play bear pascal will play but he is suffering from an injury and then chao monte and kealoa polaris they will not play for hawaii away won the toss and they have elected to receive fresno state will defend the south end zone hawaii comes in undefeated 8-0 they are one of only two teams now in the country undefeated ohio state losing today to illinois and they are playing late now and they have a short lead as we speak this is going to be a rivalry game these two teams have really gone at each other with relish over the years here's the team comparison for fresno state you can see the scoring average hawaii a whopping 51.9 rushing the advantage goes to fresno state but in passing it's all hawaii total offense all hawaii average points allowed very very tight there the average yards allowed hawaii with the advantage and the turnover margin fresno state is dead last in the whack and turnover margin so we'll see what happens this is a big test for hawaii they have maneuvered their way into almost a pinnacle status in college football and we'll see if they can keep it going tonight this is the 40th meeting fresno state leads the series 20 18 and 1. you go back 2001 here double overtime victory hawaii ashley lalee getting the pass in the end zone to win it hawaii last year big 67-38 but in 2004 70-14 at fresno in favor of the bulldogs jason rivers and malcolm lane will receive for hawaii to start things off clint stitzer will kick off and the crowd really getting into it crowd still arriving we begin [Applause] malcolm lane knock online ankle tackle as he gets to the 22-yard line making the stop was nick bates number 30 on the special teams so hawaii starting here cope brennan is the quarterback you can see his statistics there 225 of 328 2820 yards 26 touchdowns 11 interceptions and when you look at his career mark he has passed for over 12 670 yards 119 stuff so this is the biggest game of the year for hawaii a lot on the line david farmer starting in the backfield with colt brennan follows on the 23 triple wide receiver to the right [Applause] and colts to pass with time that's complete to bess 30 close to the first down excellent start for hawaii [Applause] here are the starters for hawaii tele estes saw affair in that front line and then the skilled players rivers best grice mullin hawthorne and farmer brennan of course is the quarterback well right now the bulldogs are actually playing a dime defense they've got six defensive backs in the game that's a switch from the normal 4-3 daniel libre has gone in at running back his first play gets the pass to ryan grace mullins and grace mullins very close to the first down caught dear brown 2 10 a 210-pound sophomore from lake elsinore california the six-footer making the stop for fresno state the defensive starters that front four ramos tolbert monga and klutz the linebackers riley jacobson brown and the defensive backs jenkins harris hayes and owens klutz leads as far as sacks concerned marcus reilly leads and tackles with 94. second down and 10 for hawaii throws long wide open is jason rivers 10 five touchdowns where jason rivers gets behind the defensive coverage right there he's wide open and walks it into the end zone that is career touchdown number 120 for the quarterback corp runner as far as jason rivers is concerned that's his seventh touchdown of the season [Music] and rivers as far as his career is concerned is amazing the extra point is good by kelly hawaii shockingly quick 7-0 over fresno state [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right [Applause] oh [Applause] 67-yard touchdown throw or they are calling it now 77-yard touchdown 67 yards but the drive free play 77 yards and only a minute and 26 into the game rivers now has caught a pass in 46 straight games 46 straight central pacific bank sponsors the loyalty award by donating 100 for every touchdown hawaii scores central pacific bank fiercely loyal banking kelly will kick all aj jefferson who had an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the 38-27 win over utah state he will take it at the goal line and here he comes and he's dangerous at the 30 all the way out to the 38-yard line that's one thing that fresno state does well field position they start with excellent field position on almost every possession cj hawthorne there to make the stop cj playing on the special teams defense so here comes fresno state they've been shot they're down seven to nothing tom branstader is the quarterback 140 of 233 1642 yards and nine touchdowns on the season so he comes out to lead fresno state lonya miller is the single setback in motion is kinter the tight end this is miller miller into the hawaii secondary gain on the play close to five yards there to make the stop this is the offense for fresno state lafarie popovich wendell jackson and avon and then the skill positions pasco he's dangerous crawley ajiro tutu adams miller and bran stater wendell is starting way up there as far as consecutive games is concerned in the 70s the center this is smith with a direct snap and smith close to the first down and the hawaii defense coming your way this defense will be tested tonight that's for sure purcell lafayette and noah the front forward leonard illinois and then kaliliboko the linebackers newberry thomas patek and lewis in the defensive secondary element is the leading tackler on this team with 90. first down for fresno state at the 49-yard line fresno state comes out in a wide pass formation they throw that's complete to pasco to the 40 to the 39-yard line that's a first down gain on the play of 12. well the bulldogs just trying to do ball control offense which is what we expected them to do when they got in here tonight they're going to run it mostly but they'll also throw it they want to eat the clock and move the ball and keep up with the warriors on the scoreboard pascal's 75-yard touchdown run after a reception last year at fresno he also had a 20-yard touchdown reception okay he is one of the leading tight ends in the nation as far as receiving this concern fresno comes out in four wives this is the hawaii offensive set first down on the 39-yard line branstad gives the ball to clifton smith and clifton smith cannot turn the corner [Applause] jacob patek was there to force him back in the warriors started in their base four three and moved to their nickelback package with five db's trying to slow down this bulldog offense [Applause] miller back in the backfield transtetter second down long yardage second and seven the ball is given to miller he's hit up the line of scrimmage salomon illimiam great fill by solomon aluminium just comes up and puts the hurt on aluminium out of los angeles out of crenshaw high school take a look at again because miller really got met he was met third down long yardage marlon moore is to the far side and to the nearsiders of gerald churchill now they change they put three wide receivers on the right side nobody is covering the middle man right now hawaii looks confused they call a timeout so hawaii uses up one of their timeouts and third and long yardage with 10 49 left to play in the first quarter hawaii leading seven nothing throughout his 11 years at fresno state pat hill has felt the same way about his opponents bring him on this week's geico quote of the game is something pat hill has said for quite some time quote we could win a lot of games if we schedule ourselves that way our program has to play the best and beat the best to be considered the best unquote and he will play anybody anywhere anytime now he has the longest tenure in the western athletic conference 11 years so here comes yet another formation for fresno state third down and seven from the hawaii 36-yard line smith and aj jefferson are in the backfield for fresno state the warriors in their oaky defense that's a three three five front in motion is that zero tutu now a penalty fly a legal shift all-star offense number 72 five yard penalty remains third down bill nathan is the referee tonight and it was an illegal motion that moves the ball back to the 41-yard line that is now third down and swells morris to the far side they keep shifting double wide receivers to the near side fran stater in the shotgun looking for man pattern he fumbles the ball picks it up and now throws and throws it away it was intended for clifton smith great pressure by adam leonard it will be fourth down never had control of the ball jim started running probably before he actually caught it good thing he picked it up on the bounce that could have turned into a big warrior play [Applause] myra newberry will back up and punting will be kyle zimmerman zimmerman with a 40.8 average [Applause] excellent hang time coming down coming down and that goes out of bounds at the 15-yard line so hawaii scores on their first possession fresno state does not and hawaii takes over on about the 17 24-yard punt and we'll see what colt brennan does now 67-yard touchdown pass to jason rivers daniel libre has come in to the game again libre in that offensive backfield libre getting his first action [Applause] hawthorne is ranked as is flanked to the near side triple wide receiver to the far side three-man front four-man front now for fresno state ball is given to libre looking for the hole gets the hole he's at the 20 25 ankle tackles at the 30-yard line marcus riley saved what could have been disaster on that run by libra and hercules on the lead block right there lock blocking linebacker pops up for a nice game 13-yard gain on his first run from scrimmage from holu aloha on the big island right above kona it will be first and 10 for hawaii at their own 30-yard line david farmer now has gone into the backfield [Applause] with colt brennan triple wide receiver to the [Applause] colt left with time throws that's complete and being forced out of bounds by moses harris is devon bess bess came into the game with 60 receptions for 748 yards he has two receptions in this particular first quarter and he has seven touchdowns on the season so it is second down for hawaii second down and six on the ball at the 34-yard line so hawaii comes out they overload the right side single coverage on the on those receivers the offensive line has been giving brennan some time brennan steps up steps up looks looks a chase out of the pocket comes to the near side throws sideline it is incomplete going out of bounds over there was hawthorne and he's helped up by the fresno state ventures very good job by the warrior offensive line the fresno state bulldogs had a four-man rush they have a good front seven and a good front four but the warrior offensive line did a very nice job of giving colt brennan an amazing amount of time that's one thing that june jones said during the course of this week he is so impressed with the front seven of fresno state that he says we have really got to block well we've got the block the best we have ever blocked over the course of this season third down long yardage third and about six again with time throw that is complete the best and he catches it just enough of the first down at the 41-yard line so hawaii converting on third down seven-yard pickup it's so impressive the warrior receivers they know right where the first down marker is and every single one of them make sure they're past it on third down so if they got a chance to catch the ball they know it'll be a first down 9 39 left to play in the first quarter if you just joined a 67-yard touchdown pass early in the game to jason rivers hawaii leading seven to nothing as you relive the catch there by bess emotion is grace mullins double wise mullins on the wing brennan looks lays it off that is complete to leon wright jackson jackson has the first down and he is forced out of bounds inside fresno state territory on the 44. marcus riley and moses harris forced him out 15-yard pickup and another first down for hawaii well the bulldogs have settled into a nickel coverage and what happened that time was a wide receiver actually ran the defensive backs out of the zone allowing the whole area out here to be clear and a nice job picking up some positive yardage variation on the theme with that last formation for hawaii first down at the 44-yard line of fresno state in motion now is best this looks like the nevada pistol offense brennan froze that's complete to wright jackson and jackson is up ended at the 40-yard line that'll bring up second down and six moses harris out of stockton california 611 200 pound sophomore mega slot for fresno state and through these passes hawaii is controlling the clock tim no they're controlling the whole game so far um either a quick strike in their first series or just like you said jim grinding it out and getting positive yards of first downs right now [Music] rivers is to the far side rivers against damian owens single coverage owens is the only defensive back that has an interception this year for fresno state and hawaii may have taken too much time offense five yard penalty remains second down [Applause] well the bulldogs walked up into show blitz jim and i wonder if uh that there was a slight audible there and they ran out of time but at the last minute the bulldogs were bringing two linebackers on the warrior left-hand side oh this is a real chess match between these two coaches i mean they are very good friends fast friends but when they oppose each other it is a chess match [Applause] second down and 11 because of the delay of game penalty all day throws that's complete complete to jason rivers rivers was double covered no problem very close to the first down they may have it inside the 35 to the 33 yard line of fresno state 12 yard pickup brennan has gone to work early he is eight of nine for 119 yards and one touchdown last year against fresno state he threw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns 409 yards last year first down from the 33-yard line of fresno state hawaii with the double wide receivers given on the delay and with it is number four leon wright jackson jackson breaking into the clear touchdown the bulldogs actually stunted away from where the play was going jim left a wide open hole for leon wright jackson you can see them all stunt away and it allows a very big hole [Applause] good power running that time by like jackson he was determined to get into the end zone and he did the transfer from nebraska 33-yard touchdown run comes into the game with the 26 carries his 27th was a joy kick is up and it is good hawaii now leading by a score of 14 to nothing [Applause] [Applause] you see the pitch [Applause] oh [Applause] fox hawaii eight plays 83 yards two minutes and 44 seconds of elapsed time right jackson a 33-yard touchdown run exploding up the middle and then exploding into the end zone aj jefferson is deep for fresno state jefferson against utah state had three returns and his total was 158 yards so he's back there as a very dangerous returner and we say that again dan kelly kicking off jefferson backs up three yards into the end zone and here he comes jefferson stumbles a bit at about the 15 weeds his way out over the 25 and we have a penalty flood [Applause] in the area of a block in the back or holding usually on the kickoff return la toule la pepa was there to make the tackle on the special teams first down for fresno state we'll explore the flag here bill latham comes out from under the goal post during the return holding on the receiving team number three first down called it on moses harris so the penalty moves the ball back inside the 20 and it will be first down for fresno state hawaii leading 14 to nothing 67-yard touchdown pass to jason rivers and a 33-yard run by leon wright jackson here comes fresno state offset i-4 nation behind brian stable hands the ball and hit at the line of scrimmage but he gets forward he may have let's see if he had possession all the way on that running the ball was alainia miller apparently did hold on to the ball he was stopped at the line of scrimmage looks like he runs right into ryan wendell the center but bounces off and gets some positive yardage yeah ran into his own man and then everybody was uh looking for miller and he was able to turn it into a good game second down and three and motion is zinter ball has given up the middle very short games adam leonard was there to make this stop that time it was miller again uh linebacker do such a good job of filling on running plays once they re-run they step up and they hit that running back and let them know we don't want you here craig mcmackin the defensive coordinator third down short yardage for fresno state 6 36 left to play in the first quarter hawaii leading 14 10 october pasco flip-flops the tight end they overload the right side with the ball is miller he's spit behind the line of scrimmage and they drive him back adam leonard leaving the charge we have a penalty flag the warriors doing a great job reacting to the ball that was just a typical spread you out to the sideline find a hole run by the running back and there was nothing there holding offense number 62. take another look at this remember they've overloaded the right side and miller just gets popped so it is fourth down for fresno state and kyle zimmerman is into punta zimmerman from visalia california longest punt has been 61 yards he needs to loot this one gets it in the air not long at all calling for the fair catch is best and hawaii will have you talk about excellent field position hawaii will have it very close to midfield 27-yard punt had no aloha airlines would like to say aloha to the warriors seniors for all their contributions to the university of hawai'i football program and wish them success during the remainder of the regular season and then into the bold season aloha airlines is a proud supporter of university of hawaii athletes first down for hawaii golden opportunity here they have it at their own 49-yard line let's see if they go long this is what june jones likes to do he gets an advantage he gets field position he may want to tack another one up on the scoreboard with the long pattern we'll see back to pass the throw that is complete to jason rivers and rivers short of the first down game on the play of seven [Applause] so brandon is now 9-4-10 in passing damien owens playing defense for fresno state and the bulldog coverage jim is playing fairly soft they're showing a lot of respect for this receiving core but that allows him just to get those seven eight ten yard catches every single time hawaii comes out and they overload the right side david farmer back there with cobra ground again with time that's completed bryce mullens this could be interesting down the sidelines and out of bounds at the 21-yard line great block by bess lauren bell finally figured things out 22-yard gain for hawaii well as we were saying earlier jim you have to be very impressed with how the warrior offensive line is playing fresno is up there with the four-man front almost every single time and nobody is getting near colt brennan they put it down we'll take another look here watch this block with an excellent block first down kerry after the catch by grace mullins ball is on the 22. brennan looking for rivers looking for rivers now checks off throws it is caught at the three-yard line c.j hawthorne and again all kinds of time for the receivers to run their full routes to clear zone coverage get away if it's man coverage as long as the offensive line keeps on giving colt brennan time like this he's going to smash the record look at the time that he has looking going through his progressions and then you talk about accuracy right there right before the sidelines popcorn and the ball is on the three ah telling estes sawafaya steinhoff what a job they're doing here in the first quarter farmer is in the backfield the throw into the end zone hit into the air they tried to find bryce mellon through actually into double coverage try to force that one cardio brown and marcus riley back defensively this is where the yards really get scrunched down it's tough when you get within four or five yards of the end zone gym you've got such a condensed area you've got two players right there it allows the defensive backs to be able to react very quickly and it's just difficult to make passing touchdowns this close not impossible the warriors have done it a lot though under center again is brennan farmer behind him brennan running running close to the goal line and brennan scores three-yard touchdown run by colt brennan that's his seventh rushing touchdown of the season [Applause] hawaii now leads 20 to nothing we're still in the first quarter with five minutes and 14 seconds left kelly is in to try the extra point tallest place by grasso kick is up and it is good i turn to you people thought this was going to be a real test of the warriors but so far they have dominated in every statistic in every category against fresno state a team that comes in with a powerful reputation absolutely jim they're dominating every aspect of the game special teams has not been special for fresno they've had one decent return the rest of it nothing there the warriors on offense just moving the ball at will and the defense has stymied the running backs steiner their quarterback so far in the first 10 minutes of this game it's been all warriors 21 tonight in hawaii they have dominated from the beginning 67-yard touchdown pass to jason rivers 33-yard run right up the middle by leon wright-jackson and then a three-yard power punch into the end zone by the quarterback hope running running talking to gene jones look at those numbers jim 33 yards for fresno 216 for uh that is just amazing aj jefferson again deep for fresno state kicking off his dan kelly waiting for it as jefferson he will take it on the two jefferson go sideline and they have the wall set up for him jefferson out in the open and he will score no one will catch it fresno state comes back and they are stunningly quick a 99-yard kickoff return [Applause] well you knew they could do it they practice their special teams probably as much as any team in the country they're known for what they do on special teams and as you said last week aj jefferson had a great week against utah state and another nice run back there nice blocking by that kickoff return team 98 yards officially they come out in a spread for the point after and now they'll go back into the kicking formation this is just cute this is just cute 501 left in the first period it's now 21-6 stitzer kicks it through and it is now 21-7 this is just i mean it's textbook watch the double team block right there that spring zone the last block on dan kelly that he was the last safety guy to try and slow down the runner so that other people could catch up and uh just clip them enough so he got balanced and fell down touchdown jeff awesome quite frankly that gives fresno state some dignity i mean they were just getting overpowered but they come back with a 98-yard kickoff return by aj jefferson out of bakersfield california he is second in the nation and kickoff returns he comes in with a 36-yard average and he leads the whack of course in that category and he's just solidified that status with a 98-yard return and jason rivers and malcolm lane are deep for hawaii leading 21 to seven so there's been just one glitch in hawaii's performance and that was that brilliant kickoff return weiss has to answer back here skitzer will kick off spitzer kicks it short malcolm 9 at the 7. lane gets to the 24 yard line and down he goes jared stutz there to make the stop for fresno state on the special team so hawaii goes back to work they have been literally flawless in their offense brennan has had all day almost seeing his savings account mature as he looks for receivers here comes hawaii [Applause] hawthorne comes to the near side david farmer is in the shotgun along with brennan seven men eight men in the box brennan back to pass looks long throws over the middle that's complete the best that's at midfield best at the 40. that's at the 30. best trying to score finally they catch him at the 26 yard line you put that many men in the box and you don't get to brennan you're dead 49 yard catch and run by bess marcus riley finally caught up to him well the bulldog defensive coordinator just trying to do everything possible to stop the warriors and nothing's working right there they were in their normal 4-3 personnel front and bumped her outside linebackers to try and cover the slapbacks that hasn't worked for any bcs program that came in here and it's not going to work for fresno brennan is now 12-14 215 yards on a touchdown he has scored a touchdown running best in motion double wise brennan back to pass throws that is going to be complete at the 10-yard line to ryan bryce mullen 17-yard pickup hawaii coming right back after that electro fine kickoff return by aj jefferson 4 17 left to play we're still in the first quarter the key to all of these completions especially the deep ones is how much time colt brennan is getting to throw the ball it's just amazing i mean the bulldogs have a very good front seven but the warriors are just out playing them in every facet daniel libre has come in right behind corporal brennan gives it to libre on a delay libre angles off the left side and then gets pushed down inside the 10 yard line to about the eights right there you saw the athleticism of tyler klutz who actually was coming off the edge looked like he was going to go after the quarterback and was able to turn and come back and tackle daniel libre they say he runs a 4-5-40 and he can play anywhere on the defensive front now he is an outstanding player and has been over the course of his competition against the university of hawai'i number 11 klutz they fake it to libra throw into the end zone incomplete is there interference no call it was intended for ryan grice mullins that'll bring up third down well this is a big play for the bulldogs right here jim they haven't stopped the warriors so far this evening it will be a moral victory then if they could stop the wars from getting into the end zone and force them into a field goal situation hawaii has already exceeded what fresno state usually allows in passing per game you see 232 yards big third down play here for hawaii ball is inside the 10 to the nine back to pass brennan closing to the end zone incomplete we're thrown high was intended for cj hawthorne and it looked like cj had his man beat by a couple steps the ball was just a little high there so here comes dan kelly six for nine in field goals and of course he had that 54 yarder so kelly trying to tack on three here which would mean that every time that hawaii has had the ball here in the first quarter they have scored it will be a 25-yarder grasso waiting for the hole places it down the kick is up and it is good hawaii now leads 24-7 over fresno state still in the first quarter still with three minutes and 27 seconds left so hawaii doesn't answer back in kind but they do answer back and very much moving the ball effectively running passing got to be happy how daniel libre is playing so far this evening coming in and running back his first real opportunity this season and you cannot really say enough so far jim about what this warrior offensive line has been doing to the front seven of the bulldogs this look at the uh record book is sponsored by public storage with eight convenient locations in hawaii 120 touchdowns one behind ty detmer of byu timmy chang is third tim retay of louisiana tech is fourth danny werkle of florida is fifth and pope brennan has positioned himself one touchdown away from tying ty detmer the all-time career touchdown mark of 121. [Music] guess who's waiting for the kickoff aj jefferson [Applause] kicked off again by kelly jefferson waiting waiting takes it on the two here he comes jefferson angles back and he gets belted at about the 22-yard line teemo there hi i should say teemo was there to give him a shot warriors very disciplined that time coming down in their lanes not allowing a large gap to happen like the kickoff returned before and uh shutting them down so here comes fresno state brian stator in a catch-up move here as they are behind 24-7 in the first quarter adjustments no doubt will be made on the part of both teams [Music] anthony harding in the back field grand stater with time throws long and this one is caught over the shoulder great catch by uh lania miller not around midfield that time bran fader who can throw the ball there's no doubt about that at times grand sitter doing sort of a semi-pump fake there trying to get the corner to bite blueberry does a little and uh nice conclusion for the bulldogs newberry covering on the play ball is at the 49-yard line of hawaii fred mistake can open it up now the ball is given under reverse with it is more marlon moore he's in trouble and he's slammed down slammed down by ryan mouton the warriors do it i mean excuse me the bulldogs do a direct snap to number two coming back with reverse great discipline by the warrior defense sitting there where they need to be covering their responsibilities on contain [Applause] [Music] and with the ball is number 10. tim lang the wide receiver and he does not get back to the original line of scrimmage she is stopped at the 48-yard line by amani purcell that'll bring up a big third down play here you have to wonder if the bulldogs are getting a little fancy here with some of the reverses and the things that we're looking at the direct snaps because the warriors are doing such a good job of playing smash mouth football with them i think they're just trying to open up the defense for this play [Applause] there they come double wide receiver to the left third down long yardage grand stage four-man pattern france favorites in trouble they sack him 29th sack of the year for hawaii red kalilimoku got to it brad kalilimoko off the edge unblocked untouched [Applause] kalimoko came into this game with a half a sack well he got that one excellent defense by hawaii on three straight plays gabon bass is deep and kyle zimmerman will punt it to him white leading 24 to seven a minute 16 left to play in the first quarter [Applause] there's the punt here comes bess calling for the fair catch takes it at the 20-yard line and hawaii will go to work there we have seen extraordinary play by the hawaii football team tonight in all facets except for one play and that was a 98-yard kickoff return by aj jefferson of fresno state 38-yard kick no return receive updates ticket discount special offers and much more each week signing up for h mail to register visit hawaii athletics dot com

middle it is incomplete it was intended for cj hawthorne and right with him and running with him was a robert malone the bulldogs run a twist on the offensive line it's the first time they've gotten pressure on brennan hit him right as he was throwing the ball that was charles tobert hidden brennan right as he threw the ball that's the first time he's been touched tonight almost the whole quarter

bill ethan herschel foul facemask automatic first down boy that pumps new life into hawaii this is a terrible penalty by carter took the helmet off absolutely did not need to grab his face masks he had called dead to rights on the pass rush alone again another twist up front so the warriors are going to see a lot more of that three twists one pressure on the quarterback two sacks they're gonna have to adjust the rear offensive line's gonna have to adjust to this twisting we played a quarter hawaii leading 24 to seven when we come back hawaii will have first down on their own 34-yard line

look closely was not the face mask but any opening on the helmet is considered a face mask penalty and that's what uh carter did there chris carter and there you see bill athan saying you know he grabbed him there you can't do that yeah i don't think he grabbed it from my perspective he just uh sort of tackled him at the back of his head and that was probably a looser chin strap and i think that was a nice break for the warriors hawaii with new life first down from their own 34 the ball is given to leon wright jackson and jackson is hit at the line of scrimmage good job there by marcus o'reilly the leading tackler for fresno state what 14 tackles against utah state 15 tackles against boise state showing his cat quick moves there coming up uh just exploding on the play to make the tackle before that tamper could develop malcolm lane and flank to the far side no gain on the play second down and 10 for hawaii all of a sudden fresno state has become very feisty defensively brennan here comes the blitz brennan gives it on the sweep to the near side and with it is daniel libra and libre all the way over midfield to the 44-yard line of fresno state you talk about calling a play at the exact right moment 22 yards it was this one because the blitz was coming and there you see libre turning the corners the blitz was chasing him and going for good yardage larry saw fail with a very good block larry right there coming across ending up kicking out lauren bell finally caught him first down for the warriors they have the ball at the 44-yard line of fresno state triple wide receiver to the right four-man front while again is given to daniel libre and libre marcus wiley again there to make the tackle for fresno state well the impressive thing about daniel libre is as soon as he reached the whole opening he immediately goes north south and turns up the speed and and gets positive yardage what looked like it might have been a tackle for a no game ends up being second and five david farmer now back in the shotgun with brennan [Applause] the motion is best super wide receiver to the right looking that way throws that's complete for bryce mullins mullins dancing for the first down and gets to the 33-yard line [Applause] so hawaii moving i have the ball now at the 33 of fresno state they lead 24-7 some great moves there by ryan a thorn has flanked to the far side to the near side as the rivers and bryce mullins in the slot to the left libre back in on the shotgun next to bremen brennan looks throws that's complete to lead right blockers in front of it to the 25. liberates about 20 and the first down excuse me not libre best the bond bets [Applause] so not libre but bess this is a little bigger in fact but a good play nonetheless for hawaii brennan is having quite a night 15 of 20 251 yards and one touchdown hawthorne and bess along with bryce mullins are flying to the left jason rivers double coverage on jason rivers waiting for the snap here comes the blitz brennan gives the ball and this is libro libre breaking tackles all the way to the five-yard line 15-yard pickup on libra coach jones said this week he says you know i'm going to unveil a surprise against fresno state you won't believe who it is it's libre library who had never played before he's making a mark just runs right through the tackle of marvin hayes the free safety just shows a power that he has unleashing the weapon first down and gold to go david farmer back with brennan double wide receivers brennan looking in his own looking end zone he may run now he throws and he throws it out of the reach of the intended receiver all alone was rivers that was a true run pass option once he started scrambling because it looked like he could have made it either way [Applause] number 19 comes up to make him cross the ball marvin hayes perhaps too much adrenaline that time for brennan it is second down goal to go the ball at the five yard line [Applause] david farmer along with bremen they overload the right side bruhmann looking looking ends on frozen zone touchdown devon pass [Applause] and he has tied ty detmo for career touchdowns 121. and it goes to

drive 80 yards 10 plays 4 minutes and 38 minutes of elapsed 38 seconds on the last time and the touchdown pass is two deaths he's untaping that ankle what a performance and still 11 26 left to play in the first half aj jefferson will try it again he's done it once already 98 yards comes up and he takes it on the three tries this side as blocky but they grab him and down he goes at the 20-yard line eric peterson on the special teams made the tackle on aj jefferson look at this total offense now 348 yards for hawaii 52 for fresno state here come the bulldogs that's just amazing [Applause] grand stater and lanier miller behind him single set though on the wing now is pasco while it's given to miller banging his way into the secondary keeping his feet and gets all the way out to the 37 yard line before they hold his progress 17-yard game in the first down excellent run by miller well actually jim i expect to see more of that right from the beginning of the game that's just good old-fashioned smash now football line the tight end up as a wing back and turn them into a lead blocker bear pascal is one big lead blocker first and ten from the 36. this is miller again miller picking his way into the secondary excellent run jacob patek finally figured it out so an excellent run on first down that'll advance the ball to the 42-yard line and it will be second down and about four for fresno state [Applause] jason crawley to the far side single coverage on high formation behind grand stadium again it is given to the tailback this time it is clifton smith and smith is hipped to the turf close to the first down they call him batman he's worn a t-shirt since high school that says batman on it and he refers to it every now and then by pointing at himself well if you're a warrior fan you've got to be impressed how the warriors are stepping up and playing smash mouth football right back with these bulldogs they're giving ground grudgingly and they can afford to get some ground with the score being 31-7 marlon moore flanked to the far side they come out in double wings single setback clifton smith first down it is smith smith finds a hole angles off the right side and is spun to the turf by solomon illinois [Applause] second down and seven bank of hawaii recognizes excellence on the field of play and tonight we'll be selecting a member from each team as the game's most valuable players sponsored by the bank of hawaii [Applause] second down six and a half emotion is centered they throw that is complete to moore moore looking for the first down he gets the first down and is tossed into the hawaii bench population now that's a first down for fresno state 904 left to play hawai'i leading 30 nice lead isaac kinter getting out there in front getting a block on myron allowing for the first down miller has come back in as fresno state putting together a drive you talk about a variation on the theme fresno state's been all over the place as far as formations are concerned keeping the ball brad and stepping oh all kinds of time and grand standard fake pump fake and then was hit five by uh blaze suarez talk about a guy that's playing through adversity i mean he's got hamstring issues shoulder issues but blaze only has one speed that's full speed [Applause] boy he just showed up out of nowhere second down and 17. the ball is at midfield for fresno state double wides to the left grand stable looks throws over the middle that's complete with runners in front of him and with it is smith clifton smith still on his feet clifton smith to the 25 to the 24. and they ride him to the turf there excellent screen over the middle that time by fresno state 26-yard gain well it's a chess match as you said jim letting the penetration come through getting three lead blockers and smith does a very very nice job of continuing to read to the open field picking up a first down clifton smith is from fresno he's out of edison high school first down on just inside the 25 yard line for fresno state this is miller miller to a short game miller upset there by ryan mouton we know jim i can appreciate the drive that the bulldogs are putting together here but the reality is they're down by 24 points and they're this eats up tons and tons of clock and i don't see them stopping the warrior offense they need to try and put some scores together here that hill desperately trying to find some answers [Applause] in a catch-up move wide receivers left and right instead it gives the ball to smith turning the corner up at 20 gets the first down as they chase him out of bounds inside the 15. lace warriors plays suarez making the tackle [Applause] so zinter comes back in moore comes back in also back in the game is anthony hardy harding will replace smith hawaii trying to shore up the defense here ball is on the 13th first and they can get a first down at the three first and ten this is harding to the ten parting to about the eight maybe the seven jacob patek made the stop so this drive has become relentless for fresno state and they've used they've used many personalities he's a little unique right here that had a running back set about a yard and a half off the field in the middle of the line of scrimmage trying to create a natural bubble to run through second down this is the 10th play of this club looks like transit is audibling at the line brian slater and we'll see we have a penalty fly we could have a false start on fresno state before the ball was snapped false start offense number 72 five-yard penalty remains second down bobby lapori the left tackle moving on that play and that moves the ball back [Applause] you have to have to wonder if the crowd had something to do with that grand staters out of believing that the line of scrimmage crowds getting loud and noisy trying to help the warrior defense false start good job crowd yelling defense quick set ball is pitched to smith smith in trouble down he goes third down first man to him was desmond thomas he was turned inside on a very short gain on the play that will bring up third down for fresno state fresno state try to come to the line with a quick count ended up with a very short very short game probably trying to take the crowd out of it there jim just going right up to line of scrimmage and running the ball didn't work as far as yards game big third down play here they will exchange positions they overload the right side as far as strength is concerned with three receivers empty backfield brandstander throws into the endzone that's high that's not good triple coverage i believe he just threw that one away to preserve the right to get a field goal you're down 31 to seven and you're going to try for double figures with this field goal the past that last pass was uh intended for ajiro tutu [Applause] a wide receiver here's clint stitzer 10 for 17 in field goals his longest is 52. ball is placed kick is down it's up it looks good and it is good so fresno state gets on the board it is now 31-10 in favor of hawaii here in the second period um we're back [Applause] get outside [Applause] let's go [Applause] [Music] the jackpot is sponsored by jack in the box try jack's new sirloin steak and egg burrito only a jack-in-the-box for breakfast is served all day as you can see there there's only two teams in the country left that are undefeated hawaii didn't know and kansas said 10-0 so what we did is move back and we took a look at what's the longest streaks when you include one loss and look at that right there hawaii's 18-1 second best in the country that shows you they have strung two very good seasons together what's a common denominator right there are june jones and colt brennan malcolm lane and jason rivers for hawaii stitzer will kick off no it's not him oh yes it is it's a shot all the way one yard deep in the end zone so malcolm lane lane time to turn the corner turns up leaps over a man gets to the 23-yard line it appears if somebody stepped in front of stitzer but fitzer was the one who kicked off marcus reilly finally made the stop on the special teams there's a new home for local sports talk in the morning am 1500 the team with refreshing local personalities dan patrick and the sporting news radio network am 1500 the team mondays and fridays that's right that's right good fun 4 26 left hawaii has the ball at their own 23-yard line emotion is hawthorne [Applause] back to pass [Applause] well that's the third sack in this first half and it is mike cheese again and we have a penalty flag down looks like a little extracurriculars going on down there between the offense and defensive line right now charles tolbert has his helmet off i don't know if it was knocked off where he took it off [Applause] let's see up the ball was personal foul offense number 55. the penalty is take a look at this sack because here comes cheese around the corner off the edge looks like maybe coney steinhoff didn't pick him up because he was sitting there looking at him as he made the tackle 410 left to play here in the um i should say 412 left to play here in the first half must be hot in that bulldog [Applause] first down all the way back to the goal line running is brennan fumbles the ball [Applause] yeah and there's a penalty fly he just bobbled it as he was cutting back jim and it just got away from him not a good decision that time and guess who recovered it again mike cheese there was no foul on the play the ball was recovered by fresno state so fresno state with a you talk about a great opportunity here brennan makes a wrong decision and you can see that june jones doesn't even talk to him as he walks by on the flip side of the coin now the warrior defense can prove how good they are there you see the bobble just gets away from him colt doesn't spend a lot of time practicing running with the ball right there so here comes fresno state they have new zest they trail 31-10 but they have an opportunity to play catch-up here this is miller angling off the right side banging into the secondary and getting all the way to the 15-yard line even inside the 15-yard line myron newberry finally halted him well this is key for the bulldogs if they can get in for a touchdown they move this within to two scores and that becomes a realistic possibility for them another field goal doesn't really help him that much pitch to smith he's going to pass no he's going to come back to the near side trying to outrun the hawaii defense they grab him and they slam him amani purcell and brad kalilimoku it was a great play by greg moku he keeps contain holds on makes a shoestring tackle and if you watch him he's on his back and pops up onto his feet just great athleticism all the way around third down big third down play here for fresno state there you see the coverage in the end zone that coverage [Applause] big play here three wide receivers to the left two to the right empty backfield little confusion on the alignment for the warriors fresno state falls odd time [Applause] oh oh [Applause] [Applause] thank you at the conclusion of the regular season each of the warriors seniors will be presented with a plaque from the university of hawaii federal credit union uhfcu's ariel chun will make the presentation to honor each senior's commitment and success as a university of hawaii student athlete they come out with two wingbacks lined up behind the tackles and miller the tailback third down and they have to go to the 11 for the first time [Applause] the ball is on just inside the 18. here we go miller miller close to the first down but i don't know whether he made it i think he may be short salomon illuminion there to finally fold them up and that will be four pounds the question is do they kick it or go for it i think they've got to go they've got to go this is a defining moment for the warrior defensive line they need to get penetration stay low move the line of scrimmage backwards fourth down less than a yard fran stater falling signals miller miller to the 10. i believe he has the first down he has the forward progress but the clock is running 144 left in the hand but clutch running that time by lania miller out of fontana california and good push by the fresno offensive line [Music] that was just scrum football right there miller gained 113 yards last year in that game at fresno [Applause] the ball the line of scrimmage is outside the 10 yard line i believe they can still get a first down the yard markers are they're over there on the ground like it's uh yeah it's gold to go [Applause] well looks like pat hill's decided to make sure there's no time left on the clock and now they say gold to go just eating the clock up trying to get a touchdown here not letting the warriors get the ball back so it is gold to go first down scratch that it looks into the end zone touchdown that was to zinter [Applause] so isaac kinter of fresno state out of el dorado hills california that's his second touchdown of the year in fresno state because of that turnover by cope running they turned that fumble into a touchdown and it is now 31-15 and that play was set up by the fact that they were running the ball effectively and that's what makes playoffs imposter effective jim [Applause] general before the extra point 31-16 on the lead [Applause] ball is down it's kicked it's not good that's not good so the stadium scoreboard has 31.50 and our monitor is 31-16 we'll straighten it out 15. [Applause] [Applause] oh [Applause] [Applause] uh [Applause] uh [Music] [Applause] [Applause] it's time for the price buskers fan cam you can log on to k5 the hometeam.com and click on the price busters fan cam icon gift certificate to price busters say hello to the good guys fans enjoying this one and uh they had a long time getting into the parking lot that's for sure excellent crowd watching this game tonight and this game may just be developing just be developing 31-15 hawaii leading 41 seconds left to play in the first half there's the kickoff by zimmerman it will go to malcolm lane lane out of the enzyme full back and down he goes so the momentum here at the end of the first half is certainly resting with fresno state they have been successful they have taken a hawaii turnover and they have turned it into a touchdown before that time they were getting blitzed badly [Applause] 37 seconds and two timeouts for the wares even on their own 14 yard line they're dangerous they are we'll see what develops here rivers bryce mullins and best to the near side [Applause] quick pass that's complete the david farmer bomber has the first down gets out over the 25 to about the 27. clock is stopped as they will move the chains hawaii will huddle very quickly will harding was there to trip up farmer here comes hawaii again [Applause] clock starts to run brennan throws that's complete blackwood's in front of him david farmer farmer out over the 40 farmer to the 42-yard line and will hawaii call a time-out here they probably should have got two they again move the chains and i believe the timeout has been full so hawaii even if they they may not get the touchdown but they certainly have the ability to get into field goal range there's pat hill pat hill has been in a panic mode since midway through the first quarter but he's the kind of coach that can still get things done i mean he's encouraging he's fixing uniforms he's telling his uh players you know it's not over yet it's only halftime he's done an amazing job in 11 years he's been at fresno only two losing seasons in those 11 years and that's playing against some of the biggest and best bcs conference teams in the country [Applause] he's a competitor yeah so is june jones that's why these games are so much fun first down the ball is up to 43 yard line of hawaii and time is of the essence bruno throws over the middle that is complete to ryan bryce mullins they will have to stop the clock and move the change with seven seconds left and grace mullins very slow in getting up and we'll see if he took a hit to the head here and you see oh yeah boy this is not good when your helmet hits with your arms being held back there's nothing to break your fall and that's what happened to bryce mullins this is not good marvin haynes and will harding double team so they very gingerly take off the helmet and they're talking to him seven seconds left to play in the first half and concern here for one of the great players that has ever worn the university of hawaii uniform ryan bryce mullins the junior of rialto california [Applause] and grace mullins with that reception and what a price he paid he went over 1 000 yards in receptions yardage this season what a play glad to see him walking off shaking his head like maybe a little bit of a possible mod concussion there jim if we see um dan kelly it would be a 59 or 60 yard field goal i mean that's astronomical distance well if they're gonna run a play it has to be an out to the sideline because they're out they're out of timeouts hawaii coming back to the huddle here or into the end zone who's watching the game first down on the 42-yard line of fresno state bremen throw sideline pattern that's complete that one complete to malcolm lane two seconds left just what the doctor ordered a nice nine yard out so here comes dan kelly and dan kelly is the kind of kicker i mean he could put it in the owns ozone it could have its own beeper he can kick it so far or he kind of makes it straight every now and then but he's an exciting kicker this would be a 50 yarder [Applause] and timeout has been called by fresno state fresno state by the way over the years of their their coach pat hill they have blocked 74 kicks that's amazing that is it that is amazing you think about that jim that's that's like seventh season that is just amazing [Music] [Applause] 31-16 that score is correct by the way [Applause] the warriors do not want a run back on a block kick they don't want a block kick but you definitely don't want to run back and they did that last week they blocked the kick and ran it back against utah state last week winds swirling around waiting for the snap is grazo places it down at the 40. there's the kick it has the distance it is what a great explanation point on the first half 34-15 kelly works his magic [Music] [Applause] not better is this is a khnl news 8 update this is a khnl news 8 update welcome

a winter tradition they say they've had enough of city and county crews pump water out of a flooded kavaloa road into kailua beach park right now the problem was that was actually a storm drain that was plugged on the park crowns over near the ocean that facilitated everything backing up into this area several homes flooded others came within inches it's a routine kailua resident robert thurston says he's had enough of if it was once we had 100 year reigns or something you know every 10 years or something i could understand that but you know every winter we have to look we have to look for this you know we're looking like are we going to flood are we going to flood every time it rains hard you know it's just scary over the years thurston has lost quite a bit to flood water washers dryers stoves refrigerators i have a couple of refrigerators carpeting hawaii so we've got maybe about 10 15 000. the frustration is we have been trying to get the city to do help us with this problem of the flooding for now the city is taking proactive measures in case more rain comes because they say the drains won't be able to handle it try to mitigate some of the flow going back towards the houses coming from the park the park is actually a natural low area and although the rain causes havoc for some others expressed thanks for much-needed hydration and about an acre of kailua beach park

newest feature see it snap it send it as viewers shared their view and shots of this stormy weather rolling in we begin on the big island before the rains moved in on saturday evening the high clouds overhead were lit up as the sun set over kailua kona the sky showed a warning red before the heavy rains hit overnight oahu had heavy showers making for a foggy morning at this makakilo park in addition to the rain coming down the showers also brought down this minor rock slide near waimea bay and those up early on oahu's north shore saw gray skies and showers to start off their day all the

to snap at khnl.com on monday the aftermath of the storm with cleanup of homes beaches and bridges the rain has left streams like this one swollen not too bad here but at waikanee stream bridge crews say flooding is a chronic problem it's deja vu the rash of rainfall has left the waikanee stream bridge clogged with rubbish once again every year there's a problem here every time there's a little bit of rain this red road floods and with more rain expected crews had to race against mother nature to prevent more flooding kamehameha highway is the only way around the island so we want to ensure that this crossing remains in pack the bridge work trickled into the afternoon rush hour leaving commuters with a traffic nightmare i've been backed up since kaneohe i've been sitting here since 4 15. at least an hour and a half at least and just go by what a few miles every 5 minutes or something bad should be better they little out here too late though yeah while nearby homes weren't quite flooded out the department of transportation says clearing the debris was necessary we decided to take care of it now apologize to the drivers for the inconvenience but we'll have a bigger inconvenience if the bridge washes out this kind of thing has been going on for years and it's time they need to fix it a fix the department of transportation says isn't easy part of the problem is that a lot of the trees along waikanee stream are on private property and when landowners don't maintain the trees a lot of the logs and branches fall into the water and get trapped underneath the bridge so the state ends up having to clean up the debris reporting live from kalihi mariella david knl news 8. college basketball resumed friday with the kickoff of the uh warriors hoop season on

way they run they're eating up an awful lot of time if they're in the catch-up mode and for the highlights there's quite a few in the first half first the fresno highlights they're in it because of these three plays number 28 aj jefferson bringing it to the house nice little block there on dan to go all the way next play cole brennan trying to make something happen he scrambles he's running up

part by kaiser permanente drive and by american savings bank with longer hours in more locations than any other bank in hawaii let's find out what's on tap sponsored by heineken i turn to jim to find out what to look for in the second half well for fresno they've got to close a gap they're down 34-16 they need three touchdowns to get back into this game they need to do it right now after the receipt of the ball and for hawaii deep ball stretch that defense other than the touchdown by jason rivers at the beginning they need to stretch out and get a deep ball touchdown if you are a team that's behind and fresno state is behind now 34 to 16. what you need to do is get your hands on the ball this will be a very important possession for fresno state they definitely move it down the field jim [Music] [Applause] there's the kickoff to jefferson takes it on the three and here he comes jefferson trying to get to the outside and hawaii pushes him into the boundary and down he goes out around the 25-yard line ryan keomako on the special teams for hawaii so now fresno state knows that if they can score if they can score quickly they're right back in this game for the warriors they need to take all hope away from the bulldogs shut them down right here and make them punch lanyard miller in the back field along with bran stater goes to miller miller probing gets out over the 30 to about the 31 yard line line of scrimmage being the 25 adam purcell and adam leonard double teamed him there second down and five clifton smith comes in and running back replacing melania miller 56 yards and 12 rushes in this game just underway in the second half a lot of shifting going on anthony harding in the slot three wide receivers quick pass that's complete to more more to the 35 more to the 39 marlon moore more out of sacramento california that's his 27th reception of the season a ball controlled type of pass right here out to moore getting a lead block trying to get eight 10 yards of crack running north south short passes expecting to start the game with jim first down for fresno state and mohsin is kinder ball has given a big hole to clifton smith smith's still on his feet smith may score smith finally is chipped up as he gets inside the 30. that possibility loom because he was looking for the high stepping run to the end zone 32 yards right up the middle right here you see him cut back [Applause] adam lunard's left out there on the island has to keep contained smith just darted right inside him [Applause] another look at this [Applause] translator out of bloom first down ball is given to miller hit at the line of scrimmage keeps his feet going and that's finally how he follows the ball hawaii may have at the ball tumbling tumbling hawaii does have it and with it is newberry and newberry still on his feet newberry is tipped up back at the 16-yard line but a great job by myron ruber is stopping himself picking up the ball and turning away from the sideline so that ball would not go out of bounds and stay with fresno adam leonard ripped the ball away take another look at this extraordinary ploy there you see miller and then leonard ripping the ball away the ball comes out it tumbles toward the sidelines and then newberry will show up grab the ball and then run back toward the center of the field [Applause] hawaii will have it first down at the 17-yard line what a turnaround leon white jackson back with colt brennan [Applause] brennan with time now throws that is complete with it at the 23 and then getting to about the 24-yard line let's see where they put him that's ryan grace mullen [Applause] so grace mullins with his sixth reception of the game and he's gone over a thousand yards this season brennan 315 yards now 21 of 27 and two touchdowns one to jason rivers and one to devon bess second down and about three and a half with it is brennan and brennan is just gobbled up with the line of scrimmage that ball i mean that play never materialized and brennan really holding on to that ball for dear life wanted to run the option that's that weak side option away from the three receiver side normally uh will run it into their bench this is the first time i recall them running into the opponent bench and it didn't work big third down play coming up [Applause] 12 10 left to play in the third period there you see john manga manga has been steady as far as a defender for fresno state over the course of this season brennan here comes the blitz it's picked up him and throws over the middle that's incomplete it was intended for malcolm lane that will bring a fourth down and hawaii they'll have to punt it away as you're saying jim the bulldogs come with a zone blitz something that the warriors do so effectively they came on the warriors left side bringing four people on three blockers brendan was able to get it off just wasn't accurate tim grosso will punt this will be his 22nd punch 40.1 yard average 51 has been as long goes and he's been able to place the ball inside the 27 times but he's gonna have to root it here the line of scrimmage being the 22. zero here comes the attempted block they don't get it ball comes up fair catch call and it is taken at the 43-yard line excellent field position for fresno state 36-yard punt and no return [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 34-16 hawaii 11 49 left to play in the third most people try to quit smoking many times before they really do it make this the time you quit for good by calling hawaii tobacco quit line at one eight hundred quit now to get the free confidential support that you need there's bran stater brown stater five for seven and passing 80 yards and one touchdown ball is given to smith and clifton smith explodes into the secondary but then stumbles and we they give him forward progress the line of scrimmage being the 43 of fresno state only to the 46th second down and seven well it's a good thing he stumbled there jim because there was a hole developing [Music] ball is kept by bran stater he has time he throws that is incomplete the ball comes out from the intended receiver and that's jason crawley you see branson just shaking his head right there that was a very effective play-action pass that kept all the linebackers in because when you run the ball effectively the front seven has to respect the run right in his hands third down on seven for fresno state big play even the crowd knows it they come out in the hawaii offense the four wads right statement back looks throws he's hit as he throws and it is incomplete david vakuli put the pressure on him that will bring a fourth down it was intended for jamal hamler you see by cooney breaking free from his block and just smashing branstad right in the mouth so kyle zimmerman will punt it to devon bess if cooney leads the warriors in sacks he just has a motor to the qb [Applause] [Music] there's the punt excellent punt coming up no fair catch takes it on the 26-yard line gets to the 30. gets to the 35 to the 40. 33-yard punt 20-yard return by bess when we come back hawaii will try to pour it on [Music] oh [Music] hey [Music] [Applause] the uh s alpha like uh these i'll start over the uh athletic scholar spotlight for this week is on carolina perez castro of the wahine golf team scholar spotlight is presented by aig hawaii discover the aig advantage it will be first down for hawaii at their own 40 following the punt return by devon bess hawaii comes out with triple wide receivers to the left [Music] [Applause] bremen being pressured now throws over the middle that is too high threw it into double coverage try to force it in to ryan greiss mullins on a crossing pattern and malcolm lane was actually beating his coverage deep down the right-hand side but i don't think colt had made it that far in his progression second down and 10 for hawaii ball at their own 40-yard line clock stopped with 10 55 left to play in the third malcolm lane is split to the right jason rivers to the left bass and bryce mullins in the slot bremen looking last time throws that is complete the best and it was not thrown well that was not thrown well because bess had to come back forward so brennan is having a rough patch here his passes are not accurate and one of his great attributes his ability to throw accurate passes nice job by moses harris there on the line of scrimmage coming up and not letting devon best get any kind of positive yardage so it is third down and ten from the 40-yard line white trying to convert long yardage here [Applause] and we have a full start i think before the ball was snapped offense number 73 five-yard penalty remains third down very solid fair [Applause] [Music] so it is third and fifteen this is a huge task here to convert fresno state rushes four that's all brennan with time chase out of the pocket comes to the near side now he throws that is complete and that's a first down to ryan bryce mullen he waited for grace mullins to ripen on that pattern bryce melons knew that brennan had been chased out of the pocket and he adjusted 18-yard gain and a first down outstanding job by the warrior offensive line the um bulldogs are running a blitz and brian like christ mullins sat down in the zone right between two defenders and they actually waited for the ball to get there danielle libre is in the backfield quick pass this is complete the best with a blocker bess is tackled stumbles toward the sidelines short game on the play maybe three maybe four so hawaii using the pass using the clock keeping that fresno state offense and the fresno state possibility of catching up in this game keeping it in the refrigerator so to speak here comes hawaii again on the play of four second down and six they have advanced the ball to the 43-yard line of fresno state cope brennan waiting for the snap emotion is best brennan with 337 yards in passing he had 409 last year quick pass that's complete to malcolm lane and lane gets roughed up a bit and they finally force him back but will have a penalty and it could be offside i believe so jim tyler klutz looked like he jumped across the line of scrimmage there that was a free play for the warriors [Applause] outside defense number 11. penalty is declined result of the play first down our clutch little too anxious that time he's out of clothes california 6 245 pound senior [Applause] so hawaii has now advanced the ball just outside the 35-yard line of fresno state [Applause] jason rivers flanked to the far side inside of rivers is grace mullins and then bess libre in the backfield it's libre finds a hook gets to the 31 and the scrum forms there all comes out picked an effective push there by the warrior offensive line at the end of that scrum as you mentioned jim [Music] there you see and then he really draws a crowd here just that explanation point to knock everybody over there i don't know why he was hugging marvin haynes maybe you know good play or i'm coming again you better be ready for me leon wright jackson has replaced libra second down and five the ball just outside the 39. showing blitz and the ball has given him a sweep and with it is jackson all the way inside the 10-yard line tyler klutz may have saved the touchdown with 23-yard gain and hawaii doing it on the ground you can tell that coach jones really has done his homework there's a blitz over there on the warrior left side there goes leon wright jackson over to the right side nobody's home that's that's effective scouting by watching video by june jones knowing down and distance what the bulldogs are gonna do right jackson now three carries 54 yards and one touchdown a 33 yards camper early in the game first down and gold to go looking for brennan froze that is let's see could be caught could be and it is second turnover by brennan marcus reilly coming up with the interception that's only the second interception all season for the defensive backfield of fresno state [Applause] so the touchback will pull the ball back out to the 20-yard line fresno state will have new life bad insult to injury jim there was a holding call on the play which of course was declined by fresno [Applause] so fresno has new opportunities here with 6 51 left to play in the third period and the hawaii defense called on again that's the second turnover in this game for brennan he fumbled the ball and now he's been intercepted and for brennan that's his 12th interception of the year branstetter on the pitch to the near side comes smith and they tore him out of bounds as he gets close to the 25-yard line carl noah was there we'll go back and take a look at that interception christ mullins coming across the middle marcus reilly great extension to collect that ball in for the touch back riley that was very artistic interception being on the play of three and a half second down for fresno state emotion is smith branstader throws and that is [Applause] incomplete solomon alabamian got in the passing lane that time bear pascal was looking around to see if there was going to be a flag stone but i think that was just a natural hookup when you have a tight end and he's blocking on all those running plays and then all of a sudden you're going to go to a passing play it's very difficult for a linebacker to be able to tell the difference that's why the flag wasn't thrown [Applause] third down long yardage for fresno state agile tutu is going to the far side double wide receiver to the nearside grand stater out of the shotgun crowd really into it timeout has been called by fresno state fresno state fresno state first charge timeout this will also be a media immediate timeout [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] football is the official booster club of the university of hawaii warriors for more information on the knuckle football club call 956-4513 big play here third down wow look at that right there only 30 of the time the opponents made the third down on the warrior defense much improved over the last few years ben stater grime stater fakes the handoff back to pass throws that is complete for the first down and that was complete to shea ajiro 6-3 sophomore out of el dorado hills california 19-yard pickup great conversion that time by fresno state solomon aluminium coming in there almost getting to bran stater but he's able to get the ball off big third down conversion for the bulldogs right there adiro tutu caught that ball and i mean it was in real big wide open territory and we have whistles blow because offside defense number 93 five yard penalty remains first down [Applause] on that particular play clifton smith and he's done this a couple of times in this game he gets over the center and so that takes the quarterback bran stater away they'll snap it to i believe smith here he comes smith hit at the line and forced back excellent defense by hawaii on that first and five play from the 48-yard line salmonella mimi and again they'll give them forward progress to midfield you know that in this whole second half so far it's been all defense really the defense stepping up making a play making something happen we'll see if it happens for the winners right here second down fumble picked up by bran stater who run for the first down and moore all the way to the 41. [Applause] alabamian finally tracked him down that's another first down for fresno state they'll move the chains a completely broken play right there as the ball hits the ground on bran stator he's actually underneath center just a bad quarterback center exchange heads up grabs the ball and just scoots so the ball on the hawaii 41 yard line first and ten for fresno state trying to get back in this game they trail 34 to 16. paul is given to party i believe [Applause] anthony hardy and harding one of the many who have carried the load for fresno state excellent run right up the middle you know jim from what we've observed all season long this is the most effective running back core that we've seen they do a very good job of finding the hole squirting through it getting positive yardage north south second down short yardage second down and two grime stater engineering another drive and with it is miller miller has enough of the first down and he has advanced the ball to the hawaii 30-yard line there so pat hill knows that if he can keep this going if he can use the clock keep the hawaii offense off the field watching fresno state can get back and be there to challenge at the end emotion is kinder grad stater the ball comes out is that a fumble or is that an incomplete pass they say no in complete pass good call it looked like it was john from jim coming in there to get on top of the back of bran [Applause] boy was that a fumble or was that they called it an incomplete pass i thought it was a good call and john funo t excellent pressure also in on the play right there with him was amani purcell coming from the other side they showed the replay and crowd wants hawaii to have the ball you see june on the sideline over there not too happy about the call ball is given to smith he's hammered at the lineup scrimmage that'll bring up third down and 10. that was an outstanding job by adam leonard he was actually on the back side of the play wrote his man down the line of scrimmage allowing himself to be in position for the cut back and to make that tackle you be the referee here you be the referee on this play was his arm coming forward when he was hit by fono t nope yes i believe it was yeah well the ball goes forward jim so actually i think you're right i've changed my third down and ten big play here kings are in motion again grand stater here comes the blitz they hit him red kalilimoku off the edge showing a great burst of speed he was not going to be denied humming him down and brad stater didn't know he was there until the last possible moment kyle zimmerman into punt hawaii is seventh in the nation in sacks and they've had three tonight waiting for the snap zimmerman and i believe it was delay of game probably on purpose offense five yard penalty remains fourth down they being hunters because when they're so close not only does it mess with their per punt average it is difficult to stop the ball when you're within a certain distance from going into the end zone so that extra five yards actually helps the hunter zimmerman packed up five yards see if he can hang it there's the snap and the kick excellent spiral will reach the end zone it will hawaii will play the first down at the 20-yard line 44-yard punt and no return and you're right you're right jim it's been it's been a defensive show here so far in the second half as you said earlier jim between these two coaches it's a chess match all the way through you can see they went at halftime they made adjustments on both sides of defense it's timing both offenses right now lessee june jones offensive specialist extraordinaire let's see what the warriors can put on right here on this drive first down at the 20. leon wright jackson with brennan in motion is grace mullins 206 left to play in the third period bremen hands it to leon bryson brother leon wright jackson and right jackson over the 20 to the 26-yard line your good neighbor pharmacy reminds you to be well and well informed visit mygmp.com for one of the 22 good neighbor pharmacists across the state good gain on the play second down and about three and a half while just over the 26 yard line david farmer now in the back here running with time big time froze that's complete the best best trying to get to the 35-yard line he already had the first down but they finally corral him and donny goes so for guess that is his ninth catch of this game and he's closing in on 100 yards nice job of colt brenton working through all three of his progressions there to come back all the way to his far side to pick up devon bess the bulldogs have been exclusively in nickel coverage five defensive backs since the start of this second half and it's been effective for them so far first down from the 33-yard line [Applause] ball is given to farmer trying to turn the corner he does at the 35 he's at the 40 has the first down [Applause] so farmer recovery of caring for hawaii 14 14-yard gain that's one of the weaknesses of the nickelback coverage if the receivers run off the defensive backs allows a running back if you can get past the front seven front six excuse me just didn't get some nice judges and big man david farmer getting a first down tell you one thing about rushing tonight everybody thinks that fresno state has rushed well 36 plays and 140 yards hawaii 16 plays 141 yards wow first down running back to pass steps up throws that is complete it's complete to ryan grace mullins down the sidelines and out of bounds inside the 15-yard line damon jenkins was chasing him and hawaii threatens again 41-yard reception for greg's mother well that's what we talked about coming into the second half what to expect the warriors to stretch the defense vertically and they did it right there colt brennan to ryan grise mullins bryce mullins coming off 13 catches 195 yards against new mexico state and dwight's melons now has eight catches for 121 yards and brennan is back on target white jackson is back there with him four wides the motion is best brennan gives it to right jackson cody mcconnery for 10. and out of bounds at the seven yard line you hear the crowd roar for colt brendan coming up and laying a block trying to just spring leon wright jackson for the touchdown final seconds of the third quarter damian owens and moses harris made the double team tackle for fresno state to watch colton right here leah block [Applause] final seconds of the third period hawaii will end the third period leading 34-15 that was the score at halftime fourth quarter coming up so sweet you won't even know it's sugar-free good [Applause] um [Applause] me [Applause] [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Applause] second down so sweet you won't even know it's sugar-free click on big islandcandies.com to order the new sugar-free chocolate hawaiian macadamia nut brownies here we look at the bcs rankings the stats hawaii right here at number 16 in the country four teams in front of them losing michigan connecticut are the big ones because that should allow hawaii to jump up and move towards that magic number 12 or above position right here second down the ball at the seven yard line of fresno state brennan trying to quiet the crowd as we begin the fourth quarter right jackson to the line of scrimmage that's all you know jim i was looking through the stats for all the previous warrior games so far this season and this last quarter the third quarter is the first time that the warrior first team offense has been held scoreless all year long and jacob's there to make the tackle yeah that's right there was two other quarters where they had zero points but both of those were the second team offense and blowouts defensive quarter big time david farmer back with front end then on this pattern we'll be looking into the end zone looking looking now throws throws high throws real wide at the attended receiver jason rivers and that'll bring a fourth down boy you can get a first down at the two but i don't think they'll fool [Applause] actually i think that's a smart call by pat hill you don't want to let this warrior offense even have one more shot at the end zone running and passing now is 27-37 393 yards and one rather two touchdowns and one interception so here comes dan kelly kelly the blaster this will be a 25 yarder out of the hold of gracie 24 officially it's down it's kicked and it is perfect so hawaii now leads 34 to 16. 30 or a 37 to 16. a scoreboard is driving me crazy [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

in motion franchise lays it off this is to smith up the sideline smith gets the first down as he is lifted out of bounds myra newberry is there to make the stop for hawaii now the fresno state gym now cannot wait i mean they can't put together long lasting drives absolutely absolutely if there's any you know they've got 14 minutes left or three scores behind i was going to see if there's anything good that came out of that field goal was they needed three scores to get ahead now they still only need three scores to tie the game the reason i was confused with 15 and 16 scoreboard has a light bulb bite it's driving me nuts we'll get to it by next year i'm sure and timeout called has been called by fresno state that's their second time out here in the second half more to come from aloha

yardage of that caliber and do it quickly just like you were mentioning jim see desmond thomas making the catch ball out to the 44-yard line for fresno state lang remains in the game he is flanked to the left ajiro tutu is to the right fresno state going to the air three-man pattern long agile 2-2 and that ball is let's see jared lewis that's kevin on the play i'll tell you what that was over the

keeps his legs going and is very close to the first down so it will be they're going to measure all along is the defensive coordinator for hawaii greg mcmackin and he has been running up and down the sidelines rich miano has been signaling him formations for hawaii defensively and on the other side of the field there's pat hill well you've got to be impressed with what greg mcmack has done with warrior defense this year it just continues to get better and better they were ranked number 37 in the nation coming into this game yards per game at 3 39 that's the previously last year they were 93 in 2005 they were 102 and in 2004 they were 116. so you can see coach mcmakin has made tremendous progress in making this defense stout and giving it the ability to stop both the run and the pass first down on the 31-yard line for fresno state they have been able to move the ball they trail 37-16. takes the hand off looks over the middle good time now throws that is complete at the 20 at the 10 at the five and it is a touchdown for aji rotutu or is it uh marlon moore it's more marlon moore down the sidelines i don't know if we'll be able to see it on the replay but gerard lewis actually fell down right there and he was supposed to be the person coming back across to make the tackle and here comes fresno state it's 37-22 marlon moore getting in to the end zone for marlon moore that's his second touchdown or is it let me see we have to check here on more that's for fresno state they're saying yeah that's his second touchdown the extra point is up and it is good it's now 37 to 22 hawaii and this game has turned interesting very interesting [Applause] now they've changed it to 23. 37-23 [Applause] fresno state scoring drive you see it there brad stater will fly across the pacific tonight and he will be sore tomorrow 31-yard touchdown pass from bran stater to moore but what the warriors need to do is you need to get this ball move it down the field get a touchdown keep it a three touchdown difference between the warriors and fresno state of course the bulldogs need to stop them and get the ball back and we'll see what kind of kickoff develops here remember fresno state is in a catch-up mode there's the kick and they will kick it deep and they will kick it to malcolm lane in the corner at the three yard line lane following his flocking gets out over the 20 to the 21. so now hawaii has to go to work they are being challenged the tackle made by frank padilla i'm thinking there may be something wrong with brennan maybe he was um you know when he was sacked a couple of times but he just here in the second half he has not really thrown the ball with his usual usual accuracy now we have seen this over the course of the season during the game but he snaps out of it and then is his brilliant self again we'll see quick pass that's incomplete that was intended for malcolm lane you slowly sense that the momentum is really shifting to the bulldogs the warriors need to get a couple first downs right here to avoid that from happening completely so hawaii comes out again [Applause] brennan needs a completion here steps up throws that is complete but only to grice mullins for a very short game that'll bring up third down long yardage you just don't feel the electricity right now from the warrior offense like how you felt in the first quarter jim i mean it was just electric everything was working positive yards on every play and now it's it just seems like it's a struggle and i'm sure the bulldogs have some to do with that but it just seems like it's mostly on the warriors pat hill trying to wish a victory here tonight he's been up and down the sidelines he has been relentless third down long yardage third down and seven brennan to throw brennan spins away from one man runs to the corner he's at the 20. oh he gets nailed at the 23-yard line and he is down he is down and not moving [Applause] and even the fresno state trainers are out oh marcus riley just came up and hit brennan and his head snapped back i'm not even sure his feet are moving right now but he just got masked [Applause] you can see mashed jones over there on the sideline concerned so both training staffs came out i mean you felt that and so did the the fresno state bench i mean they just celebrated that hit so concerned now genuine concern for for colt brennan we'll take uh some other looks at this because this is brutal this is bro starts with number 91 coming free off the edge chris carter forcing brennan to pop out of the pocket and that was a blast you know that was an intentional hit to the helmet and in the nfl he'd be fine for that that was helmet to helmet contact in the nfl you're fine for that [Applause] college has not moved in that direction yet [Applause] so june jones has come across now to take a look at his quarterback and they've i think they've given him some smelling salts [Applause] that's not good that that was that was a hit that you know you could say but you'd have to really look at the microscopic little things where the contact was actually made well i love good football as much as yeah and i love hard hits you just hate to see anybody from any team potentially take a head injury and they almost always occur either from helmet to helmet contact or when your helmet is driven into the astro turf or the grass so he is up which is good news which is good news he looks very groggy the thing is that uh when you when you get into a position like that when you're running around the end and you are then open for a hit like that you become a designated victim that's true and that's one of the reasons why you will see quarterbacks slide feet first when anybody gets within five yards of them but colt is such a competitor that he just it was third down he really wanted to make something happen and get that first down he's not 100 by any stretch of the imagination that was just a a huge hit by marcus riley and june may be talking to the officials about helmet to helmet contact just what you were mentioning well i tell you i had a couple concussions back when i played and uh one was given to me by rich miano in practice actively and um you know i'll tell you uh he shows a lot of signs of it right now he's squinting his eyes right right the lights are bright um his hair he looks a little groggy i think that the training staff is concerned you know you want to make sure that you do a correct diagnosis and anytime there's potential helmet to helmet contact there is even the chance for some kind of neck injury his teammates love him hope brennan will be helped off the field well he's a true warrior that's for sure coach june jones trying to have a case here for helmet to helmet he's pleaded with all of the officials about that but he's not getting any satisfaction i mean that was a brutal hit and they're not walking him off to the sideline jim they're walking him off towards the locker room and the crowd so appreciative of what he has done for this team [Applause] 10 43 left as colt brennan is really hit hard by marcus riley and has to leave the game so it brings up fourth down and eight [Applause] tim grasso in see if fresno tate state tries to block it they do not ball comes to smith smith keenan jones i believe it was keenan jones of the double number there number 29 but i believe it was keeming jones who lowered the boom i believe so too listen as a defensive back the crowd loves it they love it they want to see hit for hit and i suspect in the last 10 minutes and 24 seconds you are gonna now see a lot of hitting because these warriors are fired up watching colt be taken off to the locker room clifton smith in the back along with anthony hardy crowd really into this one first down for fresno state grand stater back to pass throws that is complete to smith looking for running room he is short of the first down as the black shirts gang up on him this is going to be high intensity to the end no question jim the whole thing just got ratcheted up another notch colt brennan is loved by every player on the uh team and they are just angry is batting a hornet's nest second down and about two this is miller miller into the secondary miller has that ability to squeeze by tacklers and an excellent run over midfield into warrior territory purcell and lewis finally stop this progress but fresno state moving the ball again another squirts through the hole right here in the middle [Applause] you can see that water defense just doing everything possible to lay a helmet the helmet hit right back first down from the 49-yard line of hawaii ball is given to smith smith into the secondary and the ball comes out let's see [Applause] ball was ripped away by carl noah but recovered by fresno state here smith running solomon aluminium you're right it was leonard and they're ripping it away again ryan wendell finally recovered it for fresno state second down and three miller and the first down to the 38-yard line of hawaii desmond thomas finally there to stop him an old-fashioned counter play where the line blocks down they pulled the two backside offensive linemen to clear around on the front side [Applause] so hawaii trying to stiffen here [Applause] fresno state inexorably moving the ball [Applause] anthony harding on the wing stater looking throws that is complete to smith smith is hit at the line of scrimmage an excellent play by brad kalilimoku that'll bring up second down and now they will give him forward progress we'll see see solomon aluminium coming in to put the pressure on brad and moku coming down and making a shoestring tackle the warriors have an outstanding linebacker court and they've showed it all year long and there you saw two of the three making the play happen second down and seven [Applause] smith they fake it to him bran stater looks throws that is complete and now they say what incomplete ajiro tutu is standing right on the sidelines and he may have had contact with the line and i think gerard lewis helped separate the ball from him jim as you see here on the replay [Applause] yeah he caught that ball inside but the hit by lewis separated the ball excellent defensive player third done the child is going nuts salads have heard it in years third down and eight here comes hawaii follow strong over the middle incomplete that will bring up fourth down hawaii comes with a blitz grand center has to throw it away [Applause] so we'll see what happens here because the ball the line of scrimmage is the 36-yard line of hawaii [Applause] clint stitzer will come in and he will try the extra point not the extra point the field goal you gotta wonder about a fake right here they're probably gonna be in what's called safe or they'll have at least five or six guys off the line of scrimmage the warriors i mean cobra to hold it is a fake there's a short kick yep pooch kick coming down coming down and it will be touched at the one-yard line but there may be a penalty you can depend on him for this every game i'll tell you that was very very well executed they had the i believe it was the center down there right on the goal line stopped it at the one but it's all negated because of the penalty so the penalty will move the ball back [Applause] try the field goal little pooch punt that ended up on the one but the penalty moves it back and so zimmerman is coming and you will punt it [Applause] in the air excellent hang time excellent hang time calling for the fair cash is myra newberry blueberry gathers it in for hawaii 6 55 left to play in the game hawaii leads 37-23 tyler grunke on stage please [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] cool whoa [Music] yeah we are going to show you that hit again not because we take any joy in it but show you the viciousness of it helmet to helmet [Applause] in the nfl that have been 75 or 100 000 right there yeah that was helmet to helmet no doubt about it first down tyler gronke is now the quarterback for hawaii rocky fumbles the ball all right that's out of the system well it's a good thing you jumped on it you know jim we've called tyler gronke the best backup quarterback in the country and he needs to come out right now and show everybody why we've said that and why june believes it rocky 43 of 71 and passes 720 yards seven touchdowns five interceptions so he comes in at a crucial time in this game he is the heir apparent concern for colt brennan they are probably going to transport him to a medical facility [Applause] well that wasn't really a coverage shack jim that was basically the defensive lineman getting in there and sacking him before anybody could even get open [Applause] they really put the pressure on it right up the middle john manga we knew how to murder coming into tonight's game manga now he came in to this game with 6x he now has seven so big third down play here for hawaii third and 17. gronkey in for brennan ronke with it and then lays it off to wright jackson jackson over the 20 short of the first down gets to the 24-yard line marcus riley who obliterated bremen was there to make this stop on wright jackson so hawaii will have to put it away the time five minutes and 14 seconds left away trying to win its ninth in a row that would be history no university of hawaii team has ever been able to have that record of nine and oh rasa's first punt was 36 yards he'll have to root it here [Applause] letting all the clock tick down good job by tim grasso good snap gets the punt away not a good punk bounces at about the 45 goes to the sidelines and hawaii stops it there excellent field position here for fresno state only a 30-yard punt by grasso [Applause] a reminder that central pacific bank sponsors the loyalty award by donating 100 for every touchdown hawaii score central pacific bank fiercely loyal banking june jones up at the clock four minutes in 34 seconds here's a fresno state they said this would be a bruising battle and it has been and it is not over yet there you see what grant stater has done he has phoned for two touchdowns brian stator back to pass looking now throws over the middle that's incomplete and almost intercepted that was intended for for a kinter jacob patek was playing deep there almost gathered it in i don't bring up second down that stops the clock with four minutes and 29 seconds left we get the impression that kenter doesn't have the ball throw to him that often because that was right in and out of his hands good break for the warriors paulie and ajiro tutu are pointing no flag ball is thrown that's complete to smith and down he goes and now the flag is thrown could be offside against hawaii coachman there's actually two flags in the play i wonder if there's uh offsetting penalties potentially offsides defense number 12. holding offense number 73 the penalties were offset replay second down let's take a look at the penalty uh on fresno state the holding on mel purcell there you see monty right here yeah oh yeah he yanked the arm good job by kalimoko on smith that time second down in 10. that stated her back with time looks to the sideline throws to the sideline incomplete he wanted smith good coverage there by carl noah that'll bring up third down excellent coverage in the defensive backfield by hawaii that stops the clock with three minutes in 54 seconds well every game has a few defining moments when you look back on them and this will be one of them jim this third and right here this is crucial for both teams crawley and moore are to the far side ajiro tutu to the near side crowd getting into it again well is given to smith trying for the first down can't get there smith had openings when he broke into the secondary but then they closed up they're going to have to go for it jim they're down two scores there's three minutes and 40 seconds left they can't afford to punt it away now they've got to go for it i agree here comes hawaii changing changing uh personnel michael lafayelli comes into the middle empty backfield five receivers fourth and three grand stater looks throws that is complete for the first down what a catch by kenter because kenter turned around and the ball was right there i take back what i said be a few plays before that was an awesome catch by cancer and that reception was clutch first down for fresno state now at the hawaii 40-yard line brown skater back to pass again throw sideline that is let's see is that caught that is caught at the at the 30-yard line that's to a giro tutu stops the clock yep got his knee inbounds two minutes and 49 seconds left fresno state's got to score now gotta take some shots let's see if they do it is running two minutes and 40. [Applause] ramsteider back to pass granite stater now throws crossing pattern that is complete to crawley all the way down to the 21 and branstader beginning to really put the pressure on the hawaii defensive secondary now they huddle whether now they don't have it and it's 209 left adam leonard gave branstader a how are you doing hit no call ball at the 22 grand stater again with time throws over the middle that's complete and that's complete to ajiro tutu and that's enough for the first down branstader is hot he's got the hot hand and he is decimating the hawaii defense but they have not scored yet it is 37-23 with 152 left to play in the game pope brennan has been taken off the field we cannot diagnose from where we are but it was serious time out hawaii [Applause] [Applause] so [Applause] three [Applause] oh [Music] yes [Applause] after the conclusion of the regular season schedule ms ariel chief executive officer of the university of hawai'i federal credit union will present each warrior senior with a plaque to honor his commitment and success as the university of hawaii student athlete congratulations to all the warriors seniors from uhfcu well jim it doesn't look like anybody's left the stadium here with the minute 47 left and i bet you're going to start hearing all 40 45 000 plus go nuts the motion is more they overload the right side branstad throws to the endzone he wants the touchdown leaping catch was he in no that ball was intended for jason crawley and covering on the play was myron newberry so newberry called on for a clutch defensive move there and the ball was thrown a little too high warriors in full blitz [Applause] man-to-man coverage [Applause] he gets it fumbles it he's hit down he goes keeps the clock moving ryan mouton was there now fresno state calls their last timeout this is their last that was huge that was huge ball tumbles away from him and then he draws a crowd newton able to roll and roll him down as he rolls over you can see the the acrobatics of that defensive line i mean they were twisting they were flying all over the place trying to get to it i tell you what jim those two timeouts that the bulldogs called earlier in the second half are going to come back to haunt them if they have any chance to stay in this game because they can't stop the clock again on this drive of course they're going to go for an onside kick if they don't get it game over yeah as the people depart from their stadium to participate in gargantuan honolulu traffic yet another time they will be thinking about cope running his condition whether he can play next week he will be thinking about him because cope brennan has such a personality that everybody likes it the players like it the students like it the people of hawaii like it the coaching staff likes it so we are very concerned about his condition third down third and 15. center in motion double wives breitsteiner throws over the middle that is complete touchdown marlon moore that's his second touchdown catch and here comes fresno state 20-yard touchdown reception and what a job by the quarterback tom branstader he was terrific and now it's a big extra point big extra point one has already been missed by stitzer ball is down this is kicked and this is good and it is nail biting time 37 to 30. we know fresno state with the the special teams that they do their special teams coach john baxter they've got to have an on-site kick up their sleeve something that they probably haven't shown yet this season jim i you have to be impressed with the way uh brian stater just decimated the hawaii secondary pass after pass yards after yard and then he hit more again bank of hawai'i presents our choice for tonight's most valuable players michael boyce salutes these two deserving players fresno state aj jefferson 245 return yards in this game and a touchdown 98 yard kickoff return and brad kalilimunko six tackles and 2.5 sacks hawaii will have its hands team out there this game may depend on this kick and the way college football has gone this year i mean you gotta toss a coin because it'll be the bounce of the ball [Music] [Applause] stitzer will try to be on side [Applause] there it is i in the air it is fumbled it may be fresno state's ball it may be no it's hawaii he's calling it away hawaii's ball fresno state's going crazy that was close that was close they're calling for the trainers it looks like hawaii comes up with it coming up with it is desmond thomas so the trainers are coming across just jason rubens was down there on the bottom of the pile [Applause] you see the ball comes away from rivers but thomas dives in and saves it for hawaii three running plays and it's over should seal the deal yep 129 left we'll have another look at this because this is really executed on sidekick getting the ball up jason rivers had the ball right there desmond thomas gets on top of it somehow thank god for the warriors sir here's tyler gronkie rocky is not going to go under center conkey's going to run the offense he keeps inside the 40. dives to the 35-yard line and the clock keeps ticking fresno state cannot stop it hawaii will be if they don't fumble the ball and you know you start running the offense that's a possibility no anything can happen but you'd like to be in hawaii's position right now knowing that you can eat the clock and just do simple running plays they didn't even do a quarterback exchange right there they just let tyler keep the ball that's right that's probably what you'll keep on seeing now he will go and take a knee as the clock is inside of a minute this will be a victory for hawaii there will be nine of those there'll be six and all in milwaukee and looming is a short week in the game at nevada and colt brennan injured i certainly hope as long as everybody else does it when i saw him down at the field i instantly flashed back to the young man at the press conference earlier this year that said i'm coming back for hawaii 17 last play and it's over hawaii wins it 37-30 a spirited comeback try by fresno state but hawaii able to hold on for the win and you can see the concern in jim jones face as he comes across to shake hands with pat hill [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there you see the final score 37-30 this red star moment is sponsored by heineken it's all about the beer and it all came down to this this was the onside kick if you watch the ball it comes over first one to it for hawaii is jason rivers he can't hold it but coming in was desmond thomas on the bottom of that pile and you would not give it up hope you could see that fresno state really wanted that there you see the conference standings now hawaii and boise state at 6-0 away at 9-0 boise state at 9-1 fresno state drops to five and two six and four overall next week it's nevada three and two in the conference five and four another winning record but the concern here and if we may be given a moment the concern here is the quarterback colt brennan he is important to this team very important you know jim i i couldn't agree with you more and we're all hoping the best for colt uh hopefully he can bounce back quickly and be ready for this friday game i'd like to close out by saying thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to work with you and be a part of this magnificent season well right back at you big guy right back at you we'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who tuned in this year to take part in the home teams coverage of uh football good luck to june jones good luck to colt brennan and the warriors the rest of the way as they continue with what with what we hope will be the most successful season in the history of the university of hawaii football team in fact it already is until next time this is jim leahy for a great k-5 crew take care everybody [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
