Hawaii Holds Off Colorado 28-20 In Season Opening Loss

Mike MacIntyre knew going into the season opener it would be tough for the Colorado Buffaloes to play Hawaii on 'The Rock'.

And it turns out, he was right.

The Buffs started the game playing catch up after Hawaii's Keelan Ewaliko blocked Alex Kinney's punt on their first possession and couldn't recover following that. The contest was riddled with sloppy plays from both teams, who traded turnovers throughout the course of the game. Neither the Buffs or Warriors looked prepared to be out on the field in a game that lasted a little over 4 hours.
