[DC 86]

1. Cal's tackling was abysmal
2. A series of turnovers by Hawaii at the end of the first half gave Cal a cushion that didn't really reflect how competitive the game was.
3. Hawaii was missing three presumed starters who were held our for disciplinary reasons.

But then again it's dangerous to read too much into an opening game, as we know ourselves from last year.
