PROVO, Utah – The University of Hawai'i football team found the going rough in its second road game of the year with a 47-0 loss Friday night at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The Warriors dropped to 1-3 on the season with a rare shutout loss.
 
The Warriors found little luck on both sides of the ball. UH failed to score for the first time since a 28-0 home loss to SMU in 1998. The Warriors, who mustered just 149 yards of total offense,  had previously scored in 182 straight contests.
 
Meanwhile, a week after surrendering 355 rushing yards at home against Nevada, the Warriors again were victim of a strong rushing attack. The Cougars (3-2) finished with 396 yards, the most by a UH opponent since 2004.
 
Leading the way were freshman quarterback Taysom Hill and freshman running back Jamaal Williams who combined for 297 of those yards. Hill, who made his first career start for the Cougars, rushed for 143 yards rushing and one touchdown, while passing for 112 yards and two touchdowns in a little less than three quarters of action. Williams meanwhile tallied 155 yards and two touchdowns.
 
The Cougars remained undefeated (9-0) against Warriors in Provo and have won nine of the last 10 meetings overall.
 
The Cougars racked up 343 yards of offense in the first half alone. A total 255 of those came on the ground, including 145 by Hill as BYU took a 20-0 lead at the break.
 
Things didn't get much better for UH in the second half when the Warriors turned the ball over deep in their own territory on their first possession, resulting into another BYU touchdown--the first of four scores by the Cougars in the second half.  
 
UH recorded a season-high four sacks in the loss, while freshman Ne`Quan Phillips recorded the team's first interception of the year.
 
The Warriors will play its second straight road game when they return to Mountain West action against San Diego State on Saturday, Oct. 6 at 5:00 p.m. PT (2:00 p.m. HT).
