Friday Night Football / BYU vs. Hawaii Open Thread

I do applaud the effort - he did have his arms out, fully expecting something, perhaps not the ball, to fall into his arms. The ball fell  some 15 yards behind him, so he was demonstrably not entirely in the game. 

EDIT: I like the politeness of the Hawaii defense as they chase down BYU - "Would you possibly consider....yes, I see you're nearing the end zone, but if you wouldn't mind putting a foot out of bounds...."

The BYU offense being the BYU offense a la 2012 there....short screen for a loss, a QB scramble into heavy traffic for a loss...the normal stuff that somehow has won them two games this year. 

EDIT: Hawaii gets a rather improbable first down, given the way they have played so far. BYU reminded me of the great Police Academy line during Schroeder's scramble - "You had him there for a minute, he was flinchin'....."

Regarding this, I will say that, if you're the Pirates or a Pirates fan, nothing could possibly punctuate your epic collapse better than being no-hit with about a week or so left in the season. 

EDIT: The Cougars aren't simply finding creases, but the Hawaii defense is graciously opening entire valleys for the rushing game. If  you're Norm Chow, would one of the halftime adjustments be actually rescinding the "just kidding" moment and  trying to stop the run?

DOUBLE EDIT: It should be noted that Hawaii has managed all of  86 yards of total offense  for the game thus far, so what they really need right now involves the Hawaii version of Tyrone Wheatley at RB and Anthony Carter at WR. What? This is not possible?
