I had a bad feeling that this would happen having to win one more game to be bowl eligible. Every week with every loss the pressure get’s heavier. OMG if they can’t get that 7th win. Oh and btw I don’t think Tavai would have made a difference in this game.

Man…this is just difficult to watch. Especially when all the things they did in the 6-2 spectacle started to fade away so quick. What was the one thing Ferd Lewis had said 3 months ago about this football team? That they NEED to take advantage of their schedule! They had NO power 5 opponents on their schedule, and they’re getting stepped on like stairs in the latter half of their schedule!!!
Rolo needs to ask his team this, “Do you want to be represented as winners or losers?”.
The reason is, because Rolo probably pledged to not EVER see his 3-9 record ruin his reputation. The way they were playing after the BYU loss is nowhere NEAR winners. Now at 6-5, that is NEVER going to make up from last year’s mishaps. The team needs to realize what he’s been going through, and just giving him .500 records just isn’t going to cut it. (7-7, 3-9, and now 6-5 at this point) He’s now got 16-21 in his 3 years and the team just isn’t doing them any favors. What needs to happen in off-season is that they gotta recruit valuable assets to the team, not liabilities. Because not only would the loss of Jahlani Tavai be a problem, but they gotta find a good size for defense that can withstand tall offenses. The average height of Hawaii’s defense at least in my count is about 6’2″ to 6’3″ and that may not be enough for taller offenses in which they’ll storm all over them. They got TRAMPLED by a BYU offense which averaged a height of 6’5″!!! This kind of issue needs to be fixed if they’re going to have success in the latter years. Hawaii’s offense got blown sky high with no answer against 6’9″ Kaufusi and THAT has got to be a major buzzkill for Hawaii’s morale. If they can find a good 6’6″ or taller defensive line recruit or two, maybe we can see them be good enough to handle opposing offenses. They did have 6’7″ Viane Moala for two seasons (Until he left to Utah). At the end of the day, the team’s gotta understand that Rolo probably wouldn’t be happy if they keep giving him .500 season records unless they can make him happy by making up his 3-9 2017 season. They gotta play as a team and not play like they’re nothing.

I watched the game. Well, most of it. Kinda nodded off at times. But of what I did see, it was with utter amazement how easily Utah State ran the ball, as they rolled up 426 yards rushing to Hawaii’s 43 yards. I asked myself, “How do they do that and we can’t?” Was it the O-line? Or we just don’t have the runners? The last question begs the question about Hawaii’s stable of running backs. For the game, Hawaii had rushes by Cole, Dayton and Fred. No other running back saw game time. I would love to have seen Hekili Keliiliki, Mel Davis and/or Elijah Dale get some carries; the latter two being seniors.

“I don’t think there’s a lack of effort,” head coach Nick Rolovich said. “Maybe a lack of focus sometimes and obviously a lack of execution.” Are you kidding Rolo-over, “six of one, half a dozen of another”!!
