Box Score
HONOLULU -
Timmy Chang, who became University of Hawaii football's all-time passing leader in the second quarter, completed 34-of-49 passes for 403 yards and four touchdowns to help the Warriors down Tulsa, 37-14, and gain sole possession of second place in the WAC Saturday night at Aloha Stadium.
It was another huge night for the Warrior offense which gained 579 total yards (513 passing and 66 rushing) while the defense held the Golden Hurricane to a season low 331 total yards and sacked Tulsa quarterbacks four times (-24).
Hawaii (5-2, 4-1 WAC) struck on its first two possessions of the game when Justin Ayat kicked a 25-yard field goal and Chang hit Clifton Herbert on a crossing route for a 10-yard touchdown to put the Warriors up, 9-0.
Tulsa (0-7, 0-3 WAC), who owns the nation's longest current losing streak at 17 games, had a chance to get on the board in the second quarter. However, Brad DeVault's 41-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright and fell to the ground.
Later in the second quarter, Chang hit Josh Galeai for 18 yards and a touchdown, the first of Galeai's career, to put the Warriors ahead, 23-0 at the break.
On Hawaii's opening drive of the second half, Chang hit Herbert again for a 2-yard score on fourth-and-goal to make it 30-0 with 11:35 left in the third quarter.
The Golden Hurricane finally got on the board in the third quarter when backup quarterback James Killian kept on an option left and scampered five yards into the endzone to cap an 8-play, 69-yard drive.
