[ TURNING POINT ]
Bulldogs kicking themselves
Josh Scobee of Louisiana Tech is one of the best kickers in college football. But yesterday wasn't his day.He had a field-goal attempt blocked and missed two others, including a 53-yard attempt with 1 minute, 22 seconds left that sealed the Bulldogs' fate in their 44-41 loss to Hawaii.
Leonard Peters' block of Scobee's try from 52 yards in the second quarter may have contributed to the miss at the end of the game.
"I thought he was going to make it. I was going to freeze him (call a timeout), but I didn't want him to think about it. It ended up working," UH coach June Jones said.
LaTech coach Jack Bicknell said having Scobee kick rather than going for a first down on fourth and 2 was a tough decision.
"I just felt like he was going to make it," Bicknell said. "If I had gone for it and missed it, and I've got an All-American kicker sitting next to me, then I probably would've really, really been mad."

[ COMING UP ]
Miners will try to end losing streak here
Yes, Texas-El Paso has lost its last two games against Hawaii, and it hasn't been pretty for the Miners: 31-6 last year at the Sun Bowl and 66-7 in 2001 when UTEP visited Aloha Stadium to lose in the islands for the fourth consecutive time.But the Miners (2-5, 1-1 Western Athletic Conference) will arrive with at least a little bit of confidence.
UTEP had a bye this weekend, giving the Miners seven more days to prepare for the Warriors, while Hawaii had to fly to Louisiana and back.
