Taysom Hill (4) of the Brigham Young Cougars celebrates scoring BYU's only touchdown during NCAA football in Boise on Sept. 20.
Ravell Call, Deseret News
The Cougars put up just 200 yards of total offense and six points in the loss against Boise State, according to Bleacher Report.
It's unclear who will start at quarterback for BYU, as Riley Nelson was taken out of the game in the third quarter against Boise State due a back injury, according to the article. Nelson was replaced by freshman Taysom Hill, who led BYU on its only scoring drive of the game.
But Hawaii's defense has just four returning defensive starters from last season's team that finished with a 6-7 record, according to the article. Hawaii's defense gave up 575 yards in its 69-24 loss at home against Nevada last week. Hawaii gave up 355 rushing yards in that loss. Hawaii also gave up 49 points in its season opener against USC.
The Cougars play in Provo against the Warriors of Hawaii Friday at 6 p.m. BYU is 6-1 against Hawaii since 1995.

The source of information is often a good indicator of an article's credibility. Why do we rely on the word of Bleacher Report for game statistics? It's clearly a partisan mouthpiece with a strong bias against BYU. Check out ESPN and the More..
I agree with DSB and think the suggested sources are checking out. However, I am quite pleased that this reporter was not afraid to state the obvious, biased or not. I am cheering for BYU tonight and hope everyone else will do the same!
