Relatives and friends tell me that people in Utah are still as a loss that and confused that BYU lost to UH. I remember ESPN’s Travor Matich calling UH a “nice little team” there. Eating crow must taste good.

I taped the second half and watched it again. Looked like the BYU coach disagreed with the targeting and ejection of his player. I would expect an attitude of concern rather than what was shown by him. How does BYU recruit the players they have? They no longer have the prestige they once did.

Mr. Matlin: Please fix the 2021 schedule and find a decent opponent for Hawaii so they don’t have to play New Mexico State TWICE!! Come on! Utah, WSU, Cal, Colorado, ASU, Texas Tech, among others. This is too “Herman Frazierish” for my comfort!

McDonald throws for a career-high 493 yards and accounts for five touchdowns, including the game-winner that was preceded by a 38-yarder on third-and-1, and someone has the audacity to say he’s not good enough for Hawaii? Geezus ….

Mahalo Warriors for the 2019 season.
There were some games I thought .. nah we not going win …but the Warriors walked away with the win. There were some I thought … yeah, we should win this one … but the Warriors made too many mistakes and lost.
This did nothing to the spirit of the team. After each loss, they came back and played harder.
10 – 5 with a bowl game win.
Great season and more to come next year! Can’t wait to see the 2020 version of the Warriors!

#51 says it well. Congrats for the win but always inconsistent 2nd half play. Again, cannot adjust to the adjustments. Barely made it the the second level and to stay there UH has got to be more consistent and improve play calling-(not very innovative). New RB should be an improvement and hope he can catch the ball that should open up more options to our R & S Offense. To summarize: UH was actually kinda lucky they won and Warriors finally got the advantage in TO’s. Perhaps UH might even do a hybrid R & S Offense with a quicker decision making QB (Mc Dunno holds the ball too long many times).

Warriors did well in 2019 — congrats!!!!

yes, they won 10 games — yes they won the Pacific Division — yes, they won the Sofi Hawaii Bowl

however, and some or many on this blog will disagree with me when I say : UH offense has NO, absolutely NO play that will attack the edges effectively; why call ‘up-da-middle’ plays when the DL controls it?; surely, UH coaching staff has a better mind to be mired in some very questionable play calling the entire season and stretching back over Rolo’s coaching UH tenure

for whatever reason, UH special teams on punts and kick-off fell apart yesterday –there was a clear block in the back as #15 began to run and the official standing there just happened to “blink” as did an official when BYU R/guard grabbed UH DL and threw him to the ground — so many ‘blinks’ to help BYU

reminds me, painfully, of the Sugar Bowl where the line judge failed to call the Georgia DE off-side — Georgia did not need their help — just made them look biased on national TV!!!!!

and yet, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all where ever U B

Congrats to the players and coaches on coming back and beating a physically talented BYU team! Real chicken skin moment overcoming adversity and critics in the local community to be successful! These young men will all go on to fine careers in the workforce with what has been instilled in them! Mahalo to all!

Need to build on this success and give the program the necessary tools to be competitive, instead of the standard “You did well with what we give you. Why do you need this or that!”
