Even by 1992 standards the defense was small and a bit too slow for a team like San Diego State but in the tradition of Hawaii defenses they played solid and kept on coming. Michael Carter's toughness set the standard for the offense and is definitely one of my all time favorite players. Both offense and defense were well coached, tough as nails and rank highly as one of my most memorable teams.

That 1992 team destroyed Wyoming, 42-18, in our season finale.

Still can't bring myself to watch the DVD of that horror provided by a good friend of mine.

Your welcome.

For me, I still think the 2006 team was the best. 3 losses by a total of 18 points and all to top 25 teams. But I was able to go to the Holiday Bowl and it was a blast. Good to get a win too.

1992 team was fun to watch. Screamed my head off at Holiday Bowl, we were surrounded by loudmouth Illinois fans who of course left before the game was over...

One of their two loses came against a then #24 ranked San Diego St and some guy named Marshall Faulk.
Fresno St ended the season ranked at #24
BYU was a preseason #24

While I love the 1992 team, I would also put the 2006 team ahead of the 1992 team on my list of top teams. I would also list Ivan Jasper QB, when listings key players from that 1992 team. He was the starting QB in the Oregon and BYU games that season.

But when listing all-time best UH games, that 1992 game and win against a very good Fresno State team that would go on to beat USC in the Freedom bowl was just a great game.

Ah yeah....your welcome. By the way it was the last win by the Bows against Wyoming until 2014 under Norm Chow. Bohl's first at Wyoming.
