Hawaii’s hopes for an unbeaten season all but dashed.
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008It’s been a disastrous night for Hawaii in New Orleans, as the Big Easy has been anything but to the Warriors, as Georgia is running away with the Sugar Bowl, up 31-3 late in the third quarter. Colt Brennan has been sacked seven times, with one leading to a fumble that was recovered by Georgia and returned for their latest touchdown, and he’s also been picked off three times, the last one coming moments ago after Hawaii had moved into Georgia territory.
Georgia has had their way on both sides of the ball, and Hawaii has helped them out with several mistakes (turnovers and penalties).
The Bulldogs just capitalized on Brennan’s third interception, scoring on Thomas Brown’s second touchdown run of the night to go up 38-3 with less than two minutes to go in the third.
The deficit may be too big for the Warriors to overcome now, but hopefully they’ll at least make the score respectable and put their best foot forward for the last 16+ minutes, so that they can go out with their heads held high. They got a big kick return into Georgia territory, so that’s a start.
