2. Turning point

» Situation: Hawaii 10, Nevada 0, 1:50 remaining, second quarter, Nevada ball, second-and-9 at Hawaii 29

» The Play: After Nevada is saddled with first-and-15 due to a penalty, QB Cody Fajardo completes an 8-yard pass to Hasaan Henderson to put the offense back on schedule, setting up third-and-1.

» Impact: In the next three plays, Fajardo covered the final 21 yards with his legs for Nevada’s first score. An officials replay review on his 6-yard touchdown run near the out-of-bounds and the pylon did not result in overturning the TD. Nevada scored 26 consecutive points.

» Hawaii coach Norm Chow: "We knew (Fajardo) was going to be a factor in the ballgame and we needed to contain him better than we did. We thought we had a plan, but he felt otherwise."
