Love this Christmas Eve tradition.

Hawaii ...... 31
BYU ........... 31

3rd Q

This is a such a great WACKY old school high scoring late night football game that reminds me of the late night ESPN WAC games of the 90’s lol.

Yes, twists and turns. There were 55 points scored in the first half, 10 in the second half with 2 minutes left.

And just like that, Hawaii goes 73 yards in 4 plays.

38 - 34 Hawaii ... 1:27 left

... and it's now Christmas in the east, so Merry Christmas.

BYU drives down to the Hawaii 40 with 35 seconds left and ... interception!

Rainbow Warriors win the Hawaii Bowl!

38-34

Congrats Hawaii!!
Rare year of playing 15 games this year.

Great to get that 10th win.

Yes, a 13 game regular season by virtue of being Hawaii, then the MW title game and a bowl … their season started exactly four months ago, on August 24, with a win over Arizona.

10 - 5 is one heckuva season.

Hawaii is making a comeback in their program
Good for them

BYU's win over Boise State was a fluke, and Boise beat Hawaii twice.

A great night at Aloha Stadium. Both teams had their chances but UH pulled it out in the end with big plays on both sides of the ball.

The rebuild from the Chow era continues. Thank you Coach Rolovich. It’s once again good to be a Warrior fan.

I have a soft spot for U of Hawaii. Seems like a great place to go for an education, probably never want to leave after graduation.

Honest question - other than the rarity of fifteen games, why is 10-5 impressive?

Looks a lot like 8-4, which is kind of meh.
I would give it LESS credit than 10-2 or 10-3

Despite their record, Boise was very mediocre this year. BYU was up and down all year. They beat USC too.

I meant it along the lines of a great adventure - 15 games spread over 4 months with 10 wins but also 5 losses, lots of ups and downs, but more ups.

They got their money's worth.

Gotcha!

And it was a roller coaster ride. Open up 2-1 vs PAC12, reach 4-1, before a rough patch in October, finish on a little 4 game win streak before the ccg.

Mele Kalikimaka to the Warriors and everyone else!

Hawai’i home games:
Arizona
Oregon St
BYU
Army
Air Force
San Diego St

And you could’ve got a ST up high on the 50 for $99 (not including the bowl).

Wow. That might have been the best deal in all of college football. And judging by the fact that 2/3 of the fans at the bowl were disguised as orange seats, you probably could have gotten in last night for another 10 bucks.

Hell I've spent $99 on a night at the movies, LOL.

That’s way, way up high. My mid-level 45 yard line season tickets were $425 each including premium seat license charges. And the Hawaii Bowl was a separate $50 ticket. Still nothing to complain about considering the number of games, caliber of opponents and quality of play.

Also regarding last night’s attendance, there were about 20,000 in the house. Keep in mind that the ESPN game cameras were pointed at the BYU side of the stadium where the sideline seats were less than half occupied. On the UH side a lot more of the seats were filled.

Here's a snapshot taken right after the game ended:
