Before some fans got seated the Wolf Pack were off and running. In the first three plays of the game, they marched 66 yards down the field and were threatening to score. James Butler did the heavy lifting with a 55-yard run. Much to their disappointment, their drive stalled on the Hawaii 5-yard line and ultimately turned the ball over on downs.
From the point Dru Brown stepped onto the field to take his first snap as a starter, UH was off and running. He completed all 5 passes on the drive for 79 yards.
