Shock Value
POSTED: Sunday, October 05, 2008
FRESNO, Calif. » Just when it looked as if Hawaii might let another game slip away, the Warriors seized it right back.
Dan Kelly's 33-yard field goal in overtime sent Hawaii to a 32-29 win over No. 22 Fresno State last night at Bulldog Stadium, beating a ranked team on the road for the first time in the program's history.
“;This is the best total team victory I've ever been involved in,”; Hawaii coach Greg McMackin said. “;The kids competed to the end.”;
Hawaii improved to 2-3 and 1-1 in Western Athletic Conference play, while Fresno State dropped to 3-2 and 0-1.
The Warriors defense came up with six turnovers as UH built a 26-9 lead early in the third quarter. But the Bulldogs—their ranking matching the point spread entering the game—rallied to tie it at 29-29 with 8:34 left.
Both teams blocked field-goal attempts in the final 5:31 of regulation, with Hawaii staying alive on Tua Mahaley's block of Kevin Goessling's 36-yard attempt with 50 seconds left, to force overtime.
Goessling had two shots to give Fresno State the lead in the overtime. He missed the first wide left, but got another chance thanks to a running into the kicker penalty, and missed the second wide right.
After three running plays, Kelly knocked his fourth field goal of the night through the uprights to trigger a wild Warriors celebration as UH beat Fresno State for the third straight year and the second consecutive time in Fresno.
Hawaii quarterback Inoke Funaki passed for 170 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a team-high 79 yards. More importantly, he managed a UH offense that committed only one turnover after giving away six the previous week.
Hawaii won despite being outgained 522 to 342, but were sparked by Ryan Mouton's 90-yard kickoff return touchdown in the first quarter and the defense's ability to force turnovers.
