7:20 p.m.

John Ursua, who attended high school a few miles from Provo, makes an acrobatic TD catch to cut the UH deficit to 42-23 with 7:08 left.

BYU goes 75 yards in 12 plays to boost its lead to 42-17 with 10:50 to play.

Aleva Hifo turned a pass into the right flat into a 21-yard scoring play.

Hifo rhymes with Hilo, in case you’re practicing your broadcasting skills at home.

6:50 p.m.

When UH is in a hole, it turns to the shovel pass. Dayton Furuta takes the shovel pass from Cole McDonald and goes 21 yards for a TD to close UH to 35-17 with 2:57 left in the third quarter.

Furuta has both of UH’s touchdowns.

6:40 p.m.

Warriors get on the scoreboard with Ryan Meskell’s FG from 33 yards with 4:24 to play in first half.

Well, it appears Matt Hadley has fully recovered from last year’s fractured kneecap. Hadley sprints 21 yards for a TD and a 21-0 BYU lead with 7:24 left in the first half.

Hadley was used at running back — his sixth position at BYU. He was granted a medical hardship that allowed him to play this season.

5:25 p.m.

Pregame

PROVO, Utah >> Welcome to Utah, where the streets are wide, the sidewalks are clean, gas is cheap ($2.99 a gallon), the rail is light, and two long-time foes — Hawaii and BYU — meet once again.

It appears BYU is switching to freshman quarterback Zach Wilson — not to be confused with UH cornerback Zach Wilson.

The Warriors (6-1) can qualify for an automatic berth in the Dec. 22 Hawaii Bowl if they can prevail today. History nerds … er, buffs will note UH is 0-9 in games played in LaVell Edwards Stadium. Actually, most of those losses were technically suffered in Cougar Stadium (which was renamed after the former BYU coach, who retired in 2000). The Cougars are 3-9 at home in the past two seasons, with their victories against Portland State, McNeese State and San Jose State.

The game starts at 4:15 p.m. Hawaii time and will be live on ESPN2.
