beating Hawaii 42-10.
Hawaii scored first with a field goal.
Probably one of their most impressive
drives until the Cougars defense was
able to stop them.
The Cougars were able to score 21
unanswered points in the first half.
The last two were on turnovers.
Hawaii was able to score a touchdown
in the third quarter however the
Cougars were able to score 21 more
unanswered points. Again Hawaii
had a turnover leading to another
Cougars touchdown.
The Cougars would have still won
anyway but their defense helped
for sure. John Mateer the Cougars
starting quarterback certainly helped
his team. He completed 23 of 27
passes for 295 yards and three TD's.
We can question Hawaii's defense
however Mateer's completion rate
is still pretty good. He was second
on the team rushing the ball eight
times for 34 yards and two touchdowns.
Have to ssy the way he is playing
he will come down to being one of
the Cougars best quarterbacks of
all time. Mateer may help to put
the Pac-12 back on the map if they
keep the name of the conference.
Kris Huston led the Cougars in
catches with one being a touchdown.
It actually looked more like a handoff.
What made the Cougars defense good
besides three turnovers Hawaii didn't
have one third down made. They were
zero for eight.
The Cougars being 6-1 with their
only loss to Boise State will go to
a bowl game and which one will
depend on how they do in their
final five games. Looking at their
schedule they could win all five.
They do play Oregon State in the
next last game of the regular season.
They finish out against Wyoming.
The Beavers are 4-2 on the season.
Not bad at all under a new head
coach and many players who transferred. Teams like Boise State
and Utah State will make the Pac-12
seem viable. At this point they have to
add another school that can have
football team.
Next week the Cougars will play
San Diego State on the road Saturday
night. We will preview the game
during next week. Go Cougs!
