One Frame At A Time: Hawaii
I see you, Bleacher Report. I see you.
[Hit THE JUMP for much more of THAT and the rest of the GIFs from the Hawaii game.]
Before I even list the honorable mentions, I should note that this was one of the most difficult games from which to choose a top ten in recent memory. Sixty-point wins will do that, I guess. For example, this didn't make the cut:

Neither did several touchdowns.

HONORABLE MENTIONS
Butt pylon dive.
Darboh sets critical block for a screen to... Darboh.
Chris Evans touchdown the first.
Gedeon sack.
Literal jumpman jumpman.
Peppers TFL on Hawaii's first play.
Speight's pinpoint throw to Chesson.
Speight to Perry for the touchdown.
Bredeson/Cole combo opens a huge hole for Evans.
Glasgow runs the QB right into McCray.
Devin Asiasi defeats attempted jam with authoritay.
McCray strip-sack while Rashan Gary COVERS A DAMN WHEEL ROUTE.
Evans spins nothing into something.
Harbaugh digs in.
Harbaugh approves of Chris Evans.
Khalid Hill's TD run.
McDooooom end-around with mean-ass stiff-arm.
WOOP.
Morris throws an absolute laser to Kekoa Crawford.
Stribling's pick-six.
Thank goodness the refs didn't call a run play.
10. McDoom Defeats Hold, Makes Catch
The refs may not have seen it, but Harbaugh sure wanted a hold.
Well, it's either that, or he's way ahead of me on the hot new dance craze. You never know.
9. Hybrid Space Murderer
There are not one, but two pulling linemen in perfect position to block anyone but Jabrill Peppers. Unfortunately for them, they had to block Jabrill Peppers.
8. Follow The Eyes
I love this replay angle; it captures how well Delano Hill read the quarterback's eyes and broke on the ball before it was even thrown.
7. Yip To The Victors
Hail to the yiptors valiant.
6. Room To Run
The blocking on this is exquisite. The defending is... not that. And Chris Evans is quite fast.
5. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This started out at #10. Then I took another look at the hat. Then someone in the mgo slack chat pointed out the Prince chain. Then I watched it several dozen more times. I highly recommend doing the same.
4. Strong First Impression
There's at least one player who will have a hard time forgetting Devin Bush Jr.'s first ever collegiate play.
3. In A Phonebooth
I cannot blame Ben Bredeson one bit for turning and watching the carnage.
2. Harbaugh Hype Beating, Season Two
A wily veteran move by Speight to put his helmet on before Harbaugh got to the head-slapping portion.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: JABRILL HITS TRIANGLE
Going up.
Everyone needs a friend who's as happy to see them as Jourdan Lewis is to see Jabrill Peppers after that return.

for the win
i cant stop watching

not so fast re: speight's helmet
in the harbaugh pump up, you can clearly see jim say "put your helmet on" before continueing the beating.
September 6th, 2016 at 5:51 PM ^
Could have been a bunch more sacks if not for all the holding going on. Go and count the number of holds in the Gedeon Sack GIF. This seemed to be a regular occurance all game.
September 6th, 2016 at 7:14 PM ^
Glasgow was definitely held on the Glasgow chases QB into McCray gif too
September 6th, 2016 at 6:00 PM ^
Holy shit! it's not that he drifted into space, or blocked a throwing lane. He ran out to cover the route. He caught up with the damn RB.

Are these taking forever to load for anyone else? Never had this problem before, but man it is annoying.

On Evans' long TD run, the blocking is so good that Poggi doesn't have anything to do.
September 6th, 2016 at 10:51 PM ^
and thats where its probably right to assume someone from Hawaii is WAY out of position
September 6th, 2016 at 7:35 PM ^
September 6th, 2016 at 8:19 PM ^

Agreed, so satisfying. Noticed #10 flying around on basically every special teams play. Looks like real special athlete and brutal hitter.

because I think most of us will probably be feeling like that guy come late November/January. Hopefully!
September 6th, 2016 at 11:19 PM ^
But that WOOOOOOOOOO is so damn good. Plus he is wearing Navarre's number.

Jabrill Peppers is not the first football player to jump over another player...
September 7th, 2016 at 8:01 AM ^
What a great collection of GIFs this week! My "other" vote would be for the Butt pylon dive. That was one an awesome effort, and one of the better pylon dives you'll see.

Prince chain dude FTW lol
