Buckle up for safety kids, because college football is back once more.
The ominously named Week 0 kicked things off, but it was the very last game of the weekend that has our skirts blowing up.
QB Khalil Tate and his Arizona Wildcats ventured to the Islands to face the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, who honestly, should win every game by default based solely on their super-cool nickname.
But let's not stray too far off topic.
This game was completely batshit the whole way, with the Wildcats behind most of the night while the pretty Rainbows turned the ball over repeatedly.
However, check out this ending:
Khalil Tate comes up less than a yard short of a game-tying TD as time expires. @HawaiiFootball squeezes out the 45-38 victory. 👀

That's some weird, wild stuff right there.
Not many dudes are going to make the decision to tuck and run from the 31-yard line under those circumstances, but the now healthy Tate is clearly an unusual cat.
He accounted for a mind-bending 469 yards of total offense and three passing scores.
Sadly though, he would've needed 470 total yards to tie or win the game.
Don't worry, we're going to keep an eye on this dude.
Not too shabby.
