Save It For Another Day

On the night where the

emphasis was suppose to be on the arm of one quarterback, it ended

up being a night showcasing the legs of another. Hawaii quarterback

Timmy Chang needed only 241 yards to break Ty Detmer’s NCAA career

passing yards record, but the Broncos defense held him to 227 yards

as the Broncos dominated from start to finish, beating the Warriors

69-3.

Sophomore Jared Zabransky

led the Broncos (8-0, 5-0 Western Athletic Conference) with 123

yards rushing, 85 coming on a school record touchdown run in the

fourth quarter, and 164 yards passing as the Broncos scored eight

rushing touchdowns on the night, and the defense intercepted five

passes.

The Warriors (3-4, 0-3

WAC) got on the board first to begin the game with a 14-play,

59-yard drive that resulted in the 38-yard field goal by Justin

Ayat. But, it was all Broncos from then on out.

The Broncos began their

rout with a 9-yard naked bootleg run by Zabransky with one minute,

38 seconds remaining in the game. The touchdown was the first of

four by Zabransky. Then Jon Helmandollar decided to get in the mix.

Helmandollar finished a 10-play drive by rushing in from the three

to put the Broncos up 21-3.

Then the trickery

of Dan Hawkins came into play for the first time. After the

touchdown, the Broncos attempted an on-side kick. Korey Hall

recovered the kick, and the Broncos started their drive at their

own 47. Five plays later, and another Zabranksy rushing touchdown,

the Broncos added a field to go into the half up 24-7.

Timmy Chang was held to

only 107 yards passing in the first half. The second half became a

complete dominance for the Broncos defense.

The first drive of the

half resulted in the second field goal for Tyler Jones on the

night, added to the lead, 27-3.

The very first play after

the kickoff was picked off by Gabe Franklin on the Hawaii 37 yard

line. Zabransky then found T.J. Acree for a 30-yard completion, and

Helmandollar then found the end zone, putting the Broncos up by

31.

A three-and-out drive by

the Warriors gave the Broncos another chance to light up the

scoreboard again. This time it was Quinton Jones with the

end-around touchdown rush for 38-yards that made it 41-3 in the

third quarter.

Timmy Chang threw his

second interception of the night to Cam Hall, which set up another

Zabransky rushing touchdown, but it was his next that was the most

impressive of the night.

Another

three-and-out drive by Hawaii set the Broncos up at their own

15-yard line. Zabransky then scrambled out of the pocket to the

right, and rushed down the right side of the field for a

school-record 85-yard rushing touchdown.

The Broncos defense then

picked off Chang again, this time by Marty Tadman, which once again

set up another Bronco rushing touchdown. Jeff Carpenter rushed down

the left side of the field for a 26-yard score, putting the broncos

up 62-3 with only three seconds left in the third

quarter.

Chris Barrios then picked

off Chang during the first drive of the final quarter and ran the

ball 50 yards for the score, putting the Broncos up

69-3.

Chang may not have broken

the passing record, but he did tie the all-time record for career

interceptions. The Broncos rushed for a season-high 425 yards,

averaging 8.5 yards per carry on the night.
