Some bad news…and good news…for Charleston Southern.

The bad news:

    • The Buccaneers got crushed, 66-10.


The good news:

A number of things.

    • They got two interceptions. And the first play from scrimmage for Hawaii
      resulted in their first pick.
    • They held Hawaii to only 21 points in the first
      half, and trailed by as little as 21-10.
    • They even were 7-7 for a good period
      of time, thrusting some concerns among the Aloha Stadium crowd, and keeping the
      people in North Charleston giddy for a bit in the early morning.
    • Hawaii was unable to cover. The Warriors were favored by 60. Charleston Southern only lost by 56.
    • Northern Colorado still lost by a bigger margin: 57 points. One point
      worse.
    • And Northern Colorado still gained the least points against UH so far
      this season: 6 points. 4 points less than Charleston Southern.


Don’t look now, but the Big South might give the Big Sky some fits, should they tangle in the postseason. Bravo, Charleston Southern. You guys performed better than I expected. There might be some hope for you as the season progresses down in your neck of the woods. Pray that your plane doesn't crash like the Marshall team of 1970 on the flight home.
