PROVO — In the days after BYU beat Hawaii 30-20 in the season finale last November in Honolulu, coach Kalani Sitake let go legendary quarterback Ty Detmer as offensive coordinator at the end of a 4-9 campaign.

Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich, meanwhile, decided to make a major change in his program — which finished 3-9 a year ago — after that game as well by returning to the run-and-shoot offense, the scheme that he played in when he was a prolific Warrior quarterback.

In 2001, Rolovich led Hawaii to a memorable 72-45 victory at Aloha Stadium over the Cougars, who were ranked No.
