Warriors overwhelmed in Provo, fall to BYU 23-49
This was the first litmus test. Hawaii arrived in Provo with a 6-1 overall record and plenty of confidence. The strength of schedule numbers, however, suggested Hawaii has had it somewhat easy to this point in the season. Brigham Young was coming off of a massive loss to Utah State, a loss that brought change at the quarterback position. That proved to be bad news on Saturday night as true freshman quarterback Zach Wilson took over for Tanner Mangum and managed the game well as the BYU running game ran over the Warriors in a surprise blowout loss for Hawaii.
