Northridge Trails Early at Hawaii, 3-0
HONOLULU — The Cal State Northridge football team picked up against Hawaii right where it left off in its opener against Boise State.
Sort of.
The Matadors looked sharp driving the ball down the field in their first possession against the Rainbows, but Manny Marquez missed wide left on a 37-yard field-goal attempt.
Hawaii led, 3-0, early in the first quarter at the deadline for this edition.
Hawaii, 2-10 last year, defeated Minnesota, 17-3, in its opener. Northridge was coming off a 63-23 rout over Boise.
On its opening driving, Northidge marched from its 17 to the Hawaii 20 before stalling. Norman Clarke had six carries for 29 yards on Northridge’s opening possession.
Hawaii, paced by the running of Charles Twarp, Calvin Mims and Quincy Jacobs, moved the ball well on its first possession. The Rainbows scored on a 38-yard field goal by Eric Hannum.
