Question about WSU and Hawaii

[ponydawg]

Not sure if this has been addressed......

I noticed the score was Hawaii 35 WSU 0 at Halftime, how come Hawaii only scored 3 points
the entire second half? Final score 38-20.

Did WSU adjust at half to stop Hawaii's run and shoot?

[Dooby]

It was 35-6 at halftime.

WSU scored on first drive of 2nd half, then
Hawaii drove down to WSU's 5 and fumbled, then
WSU and Hawaii traded 3 and outs to end quarter

WSU drive 50 yards to start 4th quarter, then
Hawaii drives and stalls out on WSU 3 yrd line and gets field goal, then
WSU moves a little and gets intercepted, then
Hawaii drives and fumbles again on WSU 14,
then traded punts and Hawaii runs out the clock

So, Hawaii gets 3 drives ending inside WSU's 15 yard line and walks away with 3 points. They hold onto the ball and the game is at least 44-20; more likely 48 or 52 to 20.

BTW, Lopina, who was benched played the entire second half, too. I don't see anything about Lobstertail's 2 of 6 and a pick that stands out.

Wow, I didn't realize that Wazzu had 7 turnovers and Hawaii had 4.

So do we increase out NCAA lead in take aways, by Wash St throwing pics, we should have 6 or 7 in this game

WSU received the ball at the start of the third quarter and drove the length of the field to score a td, but it took them 7 1/2 minutes to do. They ran the ball, coach Mac said that was okay with him, we were up 5 touchdowns and if Wazzu wants to run the clock he would let them do it all second half. Wazzu gained a lot on the ground because UH chose to be in a pass defense to prevent a quick score, willing to let Wazzu grind it out and run time off the clock. Yes, UH fumbled a couple of times in the second half to stop any further scoring, but UH got the W.

I could also see us getting out to a big lead and fighting like everything to stave them off in the 2nd half.

What in SMU's recent past could possible give you that idea??

[indianmustang]

i want to see win total increase

[Dooby]

As I said in July:

Don't plan on getting comfortable with a lead late; don't head for the car or the Boulevard early. The goal is not a shutout. The goal is not to win by 20 (though, we may need a 20 point lead sometimes just to hold on); the goal is just to win.

I just hope we do not get behind like in the SFA game and have to try to make a 4th quarter comeback.

Hopefully it turns out like the UAB game instead of last years Houston game if that happens!
