Cougars renew old rivalry on Islands

In a contest that would essentially decide the Western Athletic Conference championship, BYU edged Hawaii, 13-3.

1984

During the Cougars' national championship run in 1984, one of their toughest games came against Hawaii, where BYU linebacker Kyle Morrell made what is considered the best defensive play in school history. He dove over the line of scrimmage late in the game to prevent a touchdown and help preserve an 18-13 victory.

1989

Hawaii snapped a 10-game losing streak to BYU by drilling the Cougars, 56-14.

1990

On the same day that BYU quarterback Ty Detmer won the Heisman Trophy, the Warriors blasted the Cougars again, 59-28.

1994

In the season-opener, BYU held on for a 13-12 victory over the Warriors.

2001

Going into this game, BYU was undefeated and ranked in the top 10. But it was playing without running back Luke Staley, who had won the Doak Walker Award earlier in the week. For Hawaii, this was like a bowl game, and the Warriors crushed the Cougars, 72-45.Cougars on the air
