Reichel Vegas with a 41-yard kick return to the 45 but I think he’s going to get whistled for taunting after looking at the Saint Louis side and giving them the falling asleep sign. Yup, that’s what it is.
Saint Louis starts on its 25 (9:03). Three straight completions to start the drive for Cordeiro. Ball across midifled as Mililani calls timeout.

Mililani starts on its 39 (8:42). Trojans run it twice needing a yard for a first down and they will have to measure after RB Kilifi Malepeai‘s second try at it. Third-and-11 and Saint Louis sophomore LB Jordan Botelho is whistled for roughing the passer. Gabriel runs for 10 and then is incomplete. Saint Louis’ defensive line is giving Gabriel no time to throw. Third-and-6 and Saint Louis jumps early. Third-and-1. Jalen Tuivaiave-Olomua in the game at RB and pounds his way for 5 yards and 14 yards. Ball at the 4. Trojans call timeout with 4:41 in first quarter. Tuivaiave-Olomua runs for a yard. First-and-goal.
