5:45 p.m.: Cam Stone is that man for UH, breaking up another pass on third down to force a punt. Three-and-out go the Cardinal and then Stone with some electrifying moves on the punt return to get the crowd going a bit.
5:39 p.m.: Still no first downs for Hawaii. Another three-and-out as Schager is 1-for-6 for 5 yards and Tylan Hines has three carries for minus-3 yards.
5:30 p.m.: Senior E.J. Smith caps a 12-play, 72-yard drive with a 1-yard TD run. Daniels hit Benjamin Yurosek with a 25-yard pass between two UH defenders and he is ruled to have gotten a foot down inbounds. The play stood and Stanford cashed it in two plays later. STAN 7, UH 0, 7:25, Q1.
5:20 p.m.: Still waiting on our first first down of the game from either team. Hawaii goes three-and-out as Pofele Ashlock's catch on the sideline is ruled out and then upheld after a challenge. Slow start from both teams.
5:11 p.m.: It's a three-and-out right back from Stanford. Ashton Daniels gets the start for the Cardinal, who manage 5 yards and have to punt.
5:10 p.m.: Hawaii comes out and throw the ball on all three plays to start. Schager has time but goes 0-for-3 and Hawaii is three-and-out.
5:03 p.m.: Stanford will kick off. Hawaii will receive in the Ewa end zone.
