On a toasty 86-degree Saturday evening, the Oregon Ducks showed Hawaii plenty of respect and support in the pregame. Hat tips to Hawaiian culture, providing relief for the victims of the Maui wildfires. Plenty to smile about before kickoff.
...and then the game started, and Oregon was better in every way from beginning to end.
Totally outclassed on the field
Hawaii entered Saturday’s contest against the Ducks floating somewhere between a 35 to 38-point underdog. The Rainbow Warriors were totally outmatched on paper, and in a shock to no one was totally outmatched on the field too.
