There will be a Sunday article from someone proclaiming these are the two best teams in CFB. Happens every year.

It'll be mentioned as a seminal victory proving UF is a top10 right up til they get a 3rd loss against Georgia in November.
Whereupon Florida will be their marquee "top10" matchup win to go with ND, Murray State, and Arkansas State.

Hawaii's drive chart belongs in the Smithsonian
The reason why Tate wasn't the top story for much of the game was because Hawaii was playing perhaps the most uneven game of football in recent memory. The Rainbow Warriors had 14 drives in the game, and scored or turned the ball over on all but one of them. In fact, the first and only time Hawaii brought its punting unit out on to the field was its final possession of the game with just over two minutes remaining. Otherwise, the Rainbow Warrior drive chart looked as follows:
  • INT
  • TD
  • TD
  • INT
  • TD
  • INT
  • TD
  • TD
  • Fumble
  • Fumble
  • INT
  • FG
  • TD
Dear reader, you are seeing that correctly. Hawaii either scored or gave the ball away in 13 straight possessions. Most of those feast-or-famine moments came from quarterback Cole McDonald, who was benched in the third quarter after throwing his fourth pick of the game. As tweeted below by Bryan Fischer, winning a game after giving the ball away six times is rare:

Hurricane Dorian pushes Boise State-Florida State to Tallahassee

The first full weekend of the college football season has also officially seen its first weather-impacted matchup of the year.

After much speculation, it was confirmed early Thursday afternoon that Saturday’s Boise State-Florida State game will be moved to Tallahassee’s Doak Campbell Stadium. That non-conference had been scheduled to be played 170 miles or so east in Jacksonville, but that city is at the confluence of the I-10 and I-95, which will serve as the main evacuation route for those fleeing coastal areas ahead of Hurricane Dorian. Jacksonville itself could also be in the path of what’s a significant weather event, which could be a devastating Category 4 storm by the time it reaches landfall this weekend or early next week.

“After consulting with emergency responders, law enforcement and hurricane preparedness teams at the state and local level, moving the game is the best option given the information we have at this time,” said FSU athletic director David Coburn in a statement.

“We regret having to move the venue in particular because of the tremendous work that the City of Jacksonville has invested in this event. They have been great partners, and we are disappointed that the game had to be moved. Our fans were very much looking forward to the experience.”
