One Frame At A Time: Hawaii Comment Count

Ace

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.

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.

Did anyone notice that 1) a group seated in ~section 13 tried to start the wave and then 2) when the students finally started it, it went the opposite way than normal? On purpose?
