INTERVIEW POLICY Contact the UH Sports Media Relations Office to arrange player or coach interviews at least 24 hours in advance. Players and coaches will be available for interviews during the weeks leading up to the bowl game. Every effort will be made to accommodate interview requests but players will not be asked to miss class, study hall, practices, or medical treatment. Players mobile or home numbers will not be released by the Sports Media Relations Office.
MEDICAL POLICY The UH Sports Media Relations Office abides by federal law pertaining to the releasing of injury information. We will not disseminate any information about a student-athletes’ injury without written consent. The only information given to the media will be if a student-athlete is “probable,” “questionable,” or “doubtful” to play. However, the student-athlete may release information about his/her injury.
WE ARE THE “RAINBOW WARRIORS” When referring to the UH football team, please use the nickname “Rainbow Warriors.” In an effort to standardize its nicknames, on July 1, 2013, the University of Hawai‘i officially changed its men’s team nickname to “Rainbow Warriors.” The school’s women’s teams are still referred to as “Rainbow Wahine.” The word “Wahine” (pronounced wah-HEEnay) means woman in the Hawaiian language. The rainbow has been part of UH’s nickname since 1923.
WHAT’S AN ‘OKINA? What’s that punctuation mark in the word Hawai’i? A: In the Hawaiian language, it’s called an ‘okina, which translated literally in English means separator. Phonetically it is referred to as a glottal stop, similar to the sound that would be made in the English oh-oh. The ‘okina is actually a letter in the Hawaiian language and typed out looks like a backwards, inverted apostrophe. The practice of the UH Sports Media Relations office is to use the ‘okina in all Hawaiian words in which they occur.

NEW MEMBER OF 1,000-YARD CLUB
Senior wideout Marcus Kemp surpassed 1,000 yards receiving on the season, a feat which has occurred just 18 other times in school history. This season the Layton, Utah native has 70 catches for 1,036 yards and seven touchdowns. He ranks fourth in the MW in receptions per game (5.4) while his 79.7 yards per game average ranks fifth. A mid-season addition to Biletnikoff Award Watch List, Kemp currently has 2,506 career receiving yards, which ranks ninth all-time in program history. Kemp, who was selected as the team’s Most Valuable Player, has 12 career touchdowns with an average of 32.3 yards per score.
MR. TOUCHDOWN
Senior running back Steven Lakalaka has made a habit of scoring touchdowns this season, boasting a team-high 12 scores and reaching the endzone in nine of 13 games. His 12 rushing touchdowns ranks fifth in the MW and 33rd nationally. The Honolulu native tied a school record (Alex Green, 2010) by rushing for a touchdown in seven straight games earlier this season. With 1,716 career rushing yards, Lakalaka ranks 11th on the program’s all-time rushing list and needs 63 yards to surpass Bill Massey (1,779) to crack the Top 10. He has only one lost fumble in 447 career touches (420 rushing attempts, 27 receptions).
PROTECTING THE QB
UH has allowed 23 sacks this season, an average of 1.77 per game, which ranks seventh in the MW and 47th nationally. The total is the fewest since the 2004 squad allowed 17 total sacks. Last year, the Warriors allowed 31 sacks.
WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?
Quarterback Dru Brown became the first UH quarterback to win his first two career starts since Tim Carey in 1997 with wins over Nevada and San José State. Since taking over the starting job in Game #5 versus Nevada, Brown has thrown for 2,009 yards on 172-of-275 passing (62.5%) and 15 touchdowns. The Monte Sereno, Calif., native, had a streak of 118 consecutive attempts without an interception snapped with a first quarter interception against Air Force. However, in that game, Brown threw for a career-high 312 yards (21-of37) and three scores in leading UH to a doubleovertime win. Brown led the Warriors to a 46-40 victory over UMass, a game in which he passed for five touchdowns and 311 yards. The sophomore currently ranks fifth among MW quarterbacks in passing efficiency (134.6) and second in completion percentage (62.0%).
RUNNING WITH THE ’BOWS
With an average of 160.6 rushing yards per game, UH will likely post its highest rushing average since 1995 (224 ypg). In addition, UH’s 23 rushing touchdowns is the most since 2010 (25). Warrior running backs have boasted four 100-yard games this season, including Paul Harris, who rushed for 145 yards (10.4 avg.) against Boise State and Diocemy Saint Juste, who cracked the century mark three times. Earlier this season, UH ran for a season-high 344 yards against Nevada, the third highest singlegame total in the last two decades. Saint Juste became just the 10th player in school history to surpass the 200-yard mark finishing with 205 4
yards on 19 carries for a remarkable 10.8 yards per carry against the Wolf Pack. Saint Juste is the team’s leader in rushing with 836 yards, despite missing two games due to injury. In addition to Nevada, he surpassed the 100yard mark against Cal (118) and UMass (122).
CAREER 1,000-YARD RUSHERS
The Warriors boast three running backs who have 1,000 career rushing yards. Senior Steven Lakalala has 1,716 yards and ranks 11th all-time in program history. Senior Paul Harris is 13th on the list with 1,669 while junior Diocemy Saint Juste is 21st with 1,442. This marks the first time in school history that three career 1,000-yard rushers are on the same team.
WELCOME HOME
After spending the majority of high school in the state of Utah, redshirt freshman slot receiver John Ursua has returned to the 50th state to play an integral role with the hometown Rainbow Warriors. The Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i native, has started 12 of 13 games and is second on the team with 47 receptions for 532 yards and three touchdowns. He also serves as the team’s starting punt returner with an average of 7.9 yards per return. Ursua attended Kealakehe High School on the Big Island during his freshman year before transferring to Cedar High School in Saratoga, Utah, where he was one of the state’s top prospects as a senior.
BIG-PLAY ’BOWS
UH’s offense has produced numerous explosive plays (20 yards or longer) this season, totaling 65 through the end of the regular season. Hawai‘i has accumulated 65 explosive plays — 40 passing, 23 rushing, 2 special teams (40+ on KO, 20+ on punts). Of those, 15 have gone for touchdowns, including the longest pass play from scrimmage — 63 yards from Ikaika Woolsey to Marcus Kemp vs. UT Martin, and the longest rush — 62 yards by Dru Brown against San José State. Kemp has been the biggest playmaker with 16 catches of 20 or more yards this season while John Ursua has nine explosive plays. On the ground, Diocemy Saint Juste has nine rushes of over 20 yards while Dru Brown and Paul Harris each have six. See page 15 for the complete list of plays.
THE GOLDEN BOOT
Multi-talented kicker Rigoberto Sanchez is one of the team’s Most Valuable Players this season. One of just a handful of kickers nationally to handle all kicking duties, Sanchez is perfect on all 12 of his field goal attempts and is 42-of-43 in PATs, missing just his last attempt in the team’s regular season finale versus UMass. His career-long 55 yard field goal at Michigan was one yard shy of the school record. His last nine kicks have been 40 yards or less. As a punter, Sanchez has helped UH flip the field. His 44.6 per punt average ranks second in the MW and 15th nationally. He has a MW-leading 19 punts of over 50 yards and 20 inside the 20 yard line. The Hamilton City, Calif., native, was picked as an honorable mention all-MW as a placekicker and punter.

line this season. On offense, Leo played and started nearly every position on the line missing only one game due to injury. He played every offensive snap in 11 of 12 games and ranks second on the team in knockdowns. Meffy had a breakout junior season, starting eight games at end and ranks among the top defensive lineman in the MW with an average of 3.4 tackles per game despite missing two games due to injury.
A RESURGENT D
The defense has made huge strides in UH’s four Mountain West wins. In those games, the D combined for 12 sacks and 33 tackles-for-loss. The UH secondary came up with three interceptions at SJSU, the highest total in four years, and six sacks, the highest total in five years. Against, Air Force, UH forced three turnovers — two fumbles and the game-winning interception by Jalen Rogers in the second overtime.
LEADER OF DEFENSE
Linebacker Jahlani Tavai has anchored the Hawai‘i defense this season and is among the Mountain West leaders in tackles and tackles for loss. The Redondo Beach, Calif., native is sixth in tackles, averaging 9.1 per game; second in TFL, averaging 1.3 per game; and the league-leader in solo tackles with a 6.2 per game average. Tavai has reached double figure tackles in seven of 13 games, including a career-high 14 tackles against UNLV. He also recorded 13 tackles, twice, against Cal and Air Force.
WITHSTANDING THE RUSH
The UH defense faced five teams ranked in the Top 30 nationally in rushing offense, including the nation’s top-ranked rushing team New Mexico (360.9 ypg). Hawai‘i has also faced four of the nation’s top backs including San Diego State’s Donnel Pumphrey (#2, 1,908 yards), whom UH held to just 112 yards, 47 below his average. Opponent Ntl. Rk. Avg.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK
After sitting out most of the 2015 season with a knee injury, ball-hawk Trayvon Henderson has returned to his safety position and making a mark on the defense. The Sacramento, Calif., native, recorded his seventh career interception and second of the season vs. New Mexico. Henderson currently ranks second on the team with 85 tackles (61 solo, 24 assisted) and also has 10.5 tackles for loss - including a career-high 3.0 at San Diego State - 2.0 sacks, one interception and six pass breakups. He began the year with 12 tackles versus Cal and had nine against Arizona and posted a career-high three PBUs against UNLV.
TEAM AWARDS
The Rainbow Warriors held its annual Alec Waterhouse Memorial Football Awards Banquet at the Pomaika’i Ballroom at Dole Cannery, Nov. 27. Head coach Nick Rolovich introduced a number of awards – all named after former UH head coaches 5
– and reinstated the Ben Yee Most Inspirational Award, which was last presented in 2011. Alec Waterhouse Most Valuable Player Award: Marcus Kemp Coach June Jones Offensive MVP: Dejon Allen Coach Bob Wagner Defensive MVP: Trayvon Henderson Coach Dick Tomey Special Teams MVP: Rigoberto Sanchez Coach Tom Kaulukukui Offensive Captain: Leo Koloamatangi Coach Otto Klum Defensive Captain: Kory Rasmussen Ben Yee Most Inspirational Player: RJ Hollis Jenny Masuda Scholar Athlete: Makoa Camanse-Stevens Coach Larry Price Unselfish Warrior: Paul Harris Coach Dave Holmes Most Improved Player: Malachi Mageo Coach Jimmy Asato Offensive Scout Team: Genta Ito Coach Hank Vasconcellos Defensive Scout Team: Cole Carter
TROPHY CASE
UH is in possession of both of its rivalry trophies - Paniolo Trophy (vs. Wyoming) and Kuter Trophy (vs. Air Force), a feat that last happened in 1992. The Warriors reclaimed the Kuter Trophy this year following a 34-27 double overtime win in Colorado Springs, Colo. Hawai‘i also took over possession of the Paniolo Trophy in 2014 following a 38-28 victory in Honolulu. UH and Wyoming will resume its series next season while the next time UH and Air Force will play will be in 2018.
DIVERSITY U
Hawai‘i is among the most diverse, if not the most diverse football squads in the country. UH has players from 15 different states, encompassing the Hawaiian, Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern time zones. More than half of the team hails from Hawai‘i (42) and California (31). The Rainbow Warriors also boast six players from American Samoa, three from Australia and one from Japan.
FREQUENT FLYERS
The Warriors made seventh road trips during a season that saw them play in four different time zones, including a trek out of the country to Sydney, Australia. UH accumulated 46,568 air miles, enough to circle the globe twice. The “Road Warriors” also logged 766 miles by bus. Of course this type of travel is nothing new for the Rainbow Warriors who posted 40,125 air miles last year and was the only FBS team to play in five different time zones.

WHITE LIDS
After debuting white helmets in the final home game of the 2015 season, UH has used the white lids as the team’s primary helmets this season. The Warriors had not worn white since 1998. In addition, the helmets feature the decal “KMT” on the back in honor of late U.S. Congressman K. Mark Takai, a former UH swimmer and ardent supporter of the school, who passed away this past summer after a year-long battle with cancer.

RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE
UH’s schedule for the next several years features several Power 5 schools, including Pac-12’s UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and the military academies. The newly expanded Hawai‘i Exemption now allows UH to play their first game the week before Labor Day weekend.
With 110,222 fans in attendance at Michigan on Sept. 3, UH played before its largest crowd in school history. It eclipsed the 107,145 fans for UH’s game at top-ranked Ohio State last year. Three of the top six road crowds in school history have occurred in the past two seasons--all at Big Ten venues. In addition to Michigan and Ohio State, more than 80,000 fans watched UH at Wisconsin last year.

GOOD WORK MAKANI
Senior defensive lineman Makani KemaKaleiwahea was among a select group of 24 college football players – 12 in FBS – named to the 2016 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, one of the most coveted off-the-field honors in college football. He is also among a group of select nominees for the Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award. Kema-Kaleiwahea’s story is one of strength, courage, and perseverance. He and his wife Brianna were among the honorees for the 2016 Casey Excellence for Children Awards. Kema-Kaleiwahea grew up on O‘ahu in an adoptive family of six children, including his brother, a female cousin and three other boys. To remove the children from an abusive environment, the couple created a home for the children in Arizona and made sacrifices to become their caregivers so they would not be separated in the child welfare system – this despite the time commitment assumed by Makani as a full-time student playing collegiate football. Permanent homes were found for three of the children, while Makani and Brianna have since officially adopted two of the boys, Luke and Kaimana Kaleiwahea, since returning to Hawai‘i.
VIRAL WARRIORS
Before playing a single down of football in 2016, UH was featured on the SportsCenter Top Plays list four times since this spring. The Rainbow Warriors did it through a variety of viral videos including the “April Fools Massacre,” “Big Man Punt Return,” “Caddyshack Pool Party” and the “UH Penalty Kick Challenge.” In addition, following UH’s Senior Night festivities, running back Paul Harris proposed to his girlfriend, a feat that was No. 2 on SportsCenter’s Top Plays. The videos can be viewed on Twitter @HawaiiFootball, HawaiiAthletics.com and Instagram @Rolovich.
LIVE ALOHA, PLAY WARRIOR

COACHES NOTES HOMECOMING Nick Rolovich is one 18 head coaches in the FBS who’ve returned to lead their alma mater. Joined by Brian Smith (offensive coordinator/RB), Craig Stutzmann (QB) and Abe Elimimian (secondary), UH boasts four former players on its full-time coaching staff Only three other schools — BYU (9), Air Force (7), and Boise State (5) — have more alumni on their staff. What’s more, all four were teammates on the 2001 squad that finished the season 9-3. Rolovich (QB), Smith (C), and Stutzmann (WR) were senior starters on offense, while Elimimian was a redshirt freshman who started six games at cornerback. STARTING YOUNG Sean Duggan is getting a head start on his coaching brethren. At 23 years, 8 months, the UH linebackers is the youngest assistant coach in the FBS, nearly two years younger than the next youngest on the list, LB coach Pat Bastian of Georgia Southern. In fact Duggan is younger than six members of the 2016 UH squad. Duggan finished his playing career in 2014 at Boston College before serving as a defensive graduate assistant. Along with BC secondary coach and current UH defensive coordinator Kevin Lempa, Duggan helped the 2015 BC squad that led the nation in total defense. MORE NOTES 4Special teams coordinator Mayur Chaudhari is the son-in-law of Dick Tomey, former head coach at Hawai‘i, Arizona, and San José State. Chaudhari served as a graduate assistant at San José State under Tomey, coaching special teams, the secondary and linebackers. 4Offensive line coach Chris Naeole was picked 10th overall by the New Orleans Saints in the 1997 NFL Draft, at the time the highest drafted player from the state of Hawai‘i (Ka‘a‘awa; Kahuku HS). Naeole, who also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, enjoyed a 12-year NFL career. 4While at Montana, Legi Suiaunoa developed a pair of NFL players. Tyrone Holmes, who led the FCS in sacks in 2015 now plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Zach Wagenmann, who holds the school records for sacks and tackles for loss was a member of the 2015 Arizona Cardinals. 4After much success on the FCS and Division II levels, 13-year coaching veteran Kefense Hynson takes on his first FBS coaching job. Hyson has served as an offensive coordinator at three different schools, including Montana, where he coached alongside current UH defensive line coach Legi Suiaunoa.

SYDNEY, Australia – In a historic matchup Down Under, Hawai‘i fell to California, 51-31, in the opening game of the 2016 college football season at ANZ Stadium. Cal racked up 630 yards of total offense to spoil the debut of UH head coach Nick Rolovich. The Bears were led by the exploits of senior transfer Davis Webb, who finished with 441 yards passing and four touchdowns. His target of choice was Chad Hansen who posted 14 catches for 160 yards and a pair of scores. UH hung tough through more than a quarter and half before the game turned on miscues in the final four minutes of the opening half. That’s when the Bears scored 17 straight points to take a commanding 34-14 lead at the break. UH would get no closer than 17 points in the second half. The Rainbow Warriors did produce a strong ground performance with 248 yards rushing, including 118 yards and a touchdown from junior Diocemy Saint Juste. He was one of three UH running backs to score, with Steven Lakalaka and Paul Harris also finding the end zone. Senior quarterback Ikaika Woolsey, starting for the second time in a UH season-opener, went 17-of-34 for 234 yards with one touchdown and one interception. UH came aggressively out of the gates, attempting an onside kick on the game’s opening play. Cal recovered and capitalized right away on a Khalf Muhammad 34-yard scoring run a little more than a minute in. However, UH countered with a Marcus Kemp 39-yard catch-and-run down the sideline for UH’s first touchdown of the season. After Cal went up 14-7 on a Hansen 19-yard catch from Webb, UH again came right back with an electrifying run 53-yard touchdown run by Saint Juste. Cal led just 17-14 late in the second quarter but a pair of special team miscues put UH in a quick hole. The Bears were able get a field goal after a UH leaping penalty on a Cal punt allowed the Bears to extend a drive. UH then fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Cal struck on the next play with a 34-yard touchdown from Hansen. The Bears concluded the pivotal stretch with an 85-yard drive in the final 1:35 of the half, capped by a Webb 4-yard touchdown run.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – No. 7 Michigan displayed its Top 10 pedigree with a 63-3 win over Hawai’i at Michigan Stadium. UH dropped to 0-2 while playing in front of 110,222 fans, the biggest crowd ever for a UH game. The Wolverines flexed their muscles on both sides of the ball, finding the end zone on the ground, in the air, and twice on defense. Michigan took a 35-0 lead into the locker room at halftime and eventually out-gained UH 512-232 for the game. Chris Evans rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns, while junior quarterback Wilton Speight went 10-of-13 for 145 yards and three touchdowns in a little more than a half of action. Marcus Kemp led the UH offense with five catches for 96 yards. Signal caller Ikaika Woolsey went 7-of-13 for 88 yards, while sophomore Dru Brown came in the second half to go 5-of-10 for 63 yards and added 49 yards rushing in his first action as a Rainbow Warrior. UH put up 31 points and gained 482 yards in its opener against Pac-12 opponent Cal, but it was far different story against one of the best defenses in the land. Michigan held UH to -17 yards in the first quarter alone and for the game returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns. The UH defense got off to a great start with a Damien Packer interception on Michigan’s first offensive play of the game. But after that it was all Michigan. The Wolverines got on track with drives of 98 and 68 yards as Speight shook off the early interception with a pair of TD passes in the first quarter. Speight’s third touchdown pass of the day gave the Wolverines a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, while Delano Hill’s 27-yard pick-six and Evans’ 18-yard run capped the Michigan scoring in the second half. The UH offense started to show signs of life on its final possession of the first half. UH got its initial first down with five minutes left in the first half and put together a drive deep into Michigan territory. But after getting inside the Wolverine 10-yard line, an intentional grounding penalty extinguished the clock and any chance for UH points in the opening half. But later, Rigoberto Sanchez provided the biggest bright spot for UH in the fourth quarter when he nailed a career-long 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to prevent the shutout. The field goal was one yard short of the school-record shared by Jason Elam (1992) and Justin Ayat (2004).

Hawai‘i (1-3) Arizona (2-1)
HONOLULU – In a roller coaster of a game Hawai‘i pulled off a thrilling 41-36 win over UT Martin in its home opener at Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium. After dropping their first two games of the season nearly a world away from the islands, home field proved the remedy for the Rainbow Warriors who improved to 1-2, using a big second half to rally past the Skyhawks. UH scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second half to erase a 10-point deficit, but needed another touchdown late in the fourth to capture its first win of the year and hand Nick Rolovich his first win as UH head coach. Ikaika Woolsey overcame three interceptions by throwing a career-high four touchdowns, including a 63-yard pass to Marcus Kemp that gave UH the lead for good with 6:43 left in the game. All three of Kemp’s catches went for touchdown as the senior also finished with a game-high 103 receiving yards. Saturday marked Kemp’s first 100-yard receiving game of the year and seventh of his career. The first half was a rough one for UH, who managed just five first downs and 107 yards of total offense. UTM’s Troy Cook completed just four passes in the first half but two of the them went for touchdowns and the Skyhawks racked up 159 yards on the ground to take a 17-14 lead into the locker room at the break. Things didn’t get much better for UH early in the second half with an interception on its first possession. The Skyhawks capitalized with a 26-yard Jaimiee Bowe touchdown run on a 4th-and-2 play to go up 24-14. However, UH roared back with scores on back-to-back possession, making the most of big plays. After Ammon Barker recovered a punt tipped off a UTM player for a short field, Diocemy Saint Juste rolled in from 24 yards to trim the deficit. Kemp followed with a 33-yard touchdown reception over the middle, dragging a defender the final 10 yards and UH to a 28-24 lead heading into the fourth quarter. A Metuisela ‘Unga touchdown catch, the first of his career, gave the ’Bows a 35-24 lead early in the fourth. However, the Skyhawks wouldn’t cave, responding with 14 straight points, including a 65-yard scoring strike and a dramatic 79-yard punt return with 9:02 left in the game to take a 36-35 lead. That set the stage Kemp’s heroics whose 63-yard touchdown from Woolsey also put him over the century mark in receiving yards. With time winding down, Jalen Rogers capped a final UH defensive stand with an interception, following key sacks by Makani Kema-Kaleiwahea and Trayvon Henderson to hold off the upset-minded Skyhawks.
TUCSON, Ariz. – Hawai’i got off to a sluggish start and couldn’t recover in a 47-28 loss to Arizona at Arizona Stadium. The Rainbow Warriors dropped to 1-3 on the season with all three losses coming away from the islands. Arizona jumped out to a 20-point lead just 10 minutes into the game and carried a 34-7 lead into the locker room at the half to cruise to victory. Sophomore quarterback Brandon Dawkins rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another—all in the first half—to lead the Wildcats (2-1), who racked up 585 yards of total offense. JJ Taylor added 168 yards rushing and a touchdown as Arizona finished with 347 yards on the ground. Dawkins scored on each of Arizona’s first two possessions. capping 88- and 82-yard drives, then Arizona tacked on another rushing touchdown following a UH interception deep in their own territory. The Rainbow Warriors gained some momentum late in the first quarter, as UH got on the board with an 81-yard drive, fueled by a pair of catches by John Ursua, including a 15-yard scoring strike from Ikaika Woolsey. It was Ursua’s first career touchdown catch. A key play happened in the second quarter when a Woolsey 48-yard touchdown bomb to Dylan Collie was wiped out by a holding penalty. That potential score would’ve cut the UH deficit to 20-13. Instead, after the penalty, the ‘Bows subsequently turned the ball over on downs and Arizona went on to score two more touchdowns in the quarter to take a commanding lead into the half. The Rainbow Warrior offense was able to put together three scoring drives after the break under the direction of sophomore Dru Brown, who played the entire second half at quarterback. Running back Steven Lakalaka, who recorded a team-high 16 carries for 63 yards, had a pair of touchdown runs. Meanwhile, Brown (144 yards passing, 33 yards rushing) scored on a 3-yard run in the fourth quarter. However, it was too little, too late for the ‘Bows who remain winless in five all-time meetings with Arizona.

HONOLULU – Hawai’i opened Mountain West play with a convincing 38-17 win over Nevada on Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium. With the win the Rainbow Warriors broke a nine-game conference losing streak dating back to 2014 and delivered first-year head coach Nick Rolovich a victory over his former team. UH also snapped a five-game losing streak to Nevada, where Rolovich spent the past four seasons as offensive coordinator. UH’s last victory over the Wolf Pack was against a Colin Kaepernick-led squad in 2010 in Honolulu. Junior running back Diocemy Saint Juste rushed for a career-high 205 yards, earning the No. 8 spot on UH’s all-time single-game list. The Boynton Beach, Fla., native also became the 10th player in school history to rush for 200 yards, and the first since Joey Iosefa against UNLV in 2014. On the receiving front, tight end Metuisela ‘Unga supplied two touchdown grabs while wideout Marcus Kemp added six catches for 88 yards. Brown finished the night 15-of-18 passing for 222 yards and two scores. Defensively, junior linebacker Russell Williams, Jr., tallied a career-high 12 tackles. Hawai’i led 3-0 as neither team was able to generate much offense in the first quarter. The Wolf Pack turned the ball over on downs after a 7-play, 66-yard drive while the Rainbow Warriors embarked on their own promising drive, featuring a 29-yard run by Saint Juste. The drive however, stalled in the red zone after a pair of penalties. It was the first time this season that Hawai’i held a lead after the first quarter. The UH offense caught fire early in the second quarter, pushing ahead with Saint Juste, who piled up 114 yards on 10 carries by halftime. Running back Steven Lakalaka struck first for six on the scoreboard, punctuating an 88-yard drive with a 4-yard plunge. Later, with time winding down in the first half, ‘Unga’s twisting one-handed, highlight-reel grab for his first touchdown of the game gave the Warriors a 17-3 advantage. The scoring drive was highlighted by a 32-yard catch by wideout Makoa Camanse-Stevens. On the other side of the ball, the Hawai’i defense kept Nevada out of the end zone and held them to 62 passing yards in the first half. UH broke the game wide open in the third quarter with three touchdown drives. Wideout John Ursua capped a 75-yard drive with a touchdown run before ‘Unga later produced his second score of the night. Sophomore Kaiwi Chung capped off the quarter with 1-yard run.
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Hawai’i won its second consecutive contest and snapped a nine-game road losing streak with an emphatic 34-17 win over San José State (1-5, 0-2 MW) at CEFCU Stadium. With the win, UH (3-3, 2-0 MW) has already matched its win total from last year (3-10) and is off to its first-ever 2-0 conference start since joining the Mountain West in 2012. The last time UH started 2-0 in conference was 2010 when the Warriors won their first five WAC games en route to a share of the regular-season title. Coming off a huge home win over Nevada last week, the Rainbow Warriors continued their momentum with an impressive display in all three phases of the game. The UH offense kept humming with another 30-plus point performance and 431 yards of offense. Special teams got a pair of field goals and blocked an SJSU field goal that kept the Spartans at bay in the second half. However, most impressive was the UH defense which recorded six sacks, 11 tackles-for-loss, and three interceptions. After allowing SJSU to score on each of their first two drives, the Rainbow Warriors pitched a shutout the rest of the way as the Spartan offense failed to score on their final 12 possessions. The first 20 minutes of the game was a back-and-forth affair. Each of the first four drives of the game resulted in points and 10-10 tie early in the second quarter. But the game turned in UH’s favor midway through the second quarter after a gutsy call by UH head coach Nick Rolovich. UH went for it on 4th-and-1 from the team’s own 38-yard line and the result was a 62-yard touchdown run by quarterback Dru Brown. The sophomore signal caller followed up with a 39-yard toss to Ammon Barker with 26 seconds remaining in the half, allowing UH to take a 24-10 lead into the locker room. San José State got back in the game in the second half when Frank Ginda returned a UH fumble 19 yards for a score, cutting the UH lead to 24-17 with 4:16 left in the third quarter. The Spartans forced another UH fumble on the very next possession and looked to cut into the lead even further with a field goal. However, UH freshman Viane Moala blocked Bryce-Crawford’s 50-yard attempt. Heading into the fourth quarter, safety Trayvon Henderson’s interception – UH’s third of the game – helped set up a Steven Lakalaka 30-yard run with 12:53 left to push the ‘Bows’ lead back to two touchdowns. UH never looked back with a stout defensive effort led by Jahlani Tavai’s 10 tackles, including two sacks and three TFLs. Last week it was UH’s run game that powered the offense.

HONOLULU – Hawai’i lost a heartbreaker to UNLV, 41-38, for its fifth straight Homecoming defeat in front of a season-high 31,281 on Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium. After a back-and-forth contest, Rainbow Warriors (3-4, 2-1 MW) appeared to catch a couple of breaks in the fourth quarter only to watch the Rebels close the gap and eventually secure the victory with a 28-yard field goal by Evan Pantels with 49 seconds left. First, after an apparent UNLV fumble recovery, Marcus Kemp alertly touched his fumbled ball while his own feet were out of bounds, allowing Hawai’i to retain possession after review. Running back Paul Harris punched in a score two plays later to give the Warriors a 38-31 lead. UNLV (3-4, 2-1 MW), however, would answer quickly to tie the game with a touchdown on its ensuing drive on a 34-yard touchdown run by Lexington Thomas. Later, UNLV’s Darius Mouton scooped up a Dru Brown fumble - the only turnover of the game - and his apparent touchdown return was called back due to penalty. The Rebels still managed to march down field setting up Pantels’ game-winning field goal. Offensively, Brown finished the night going 17-for-32 with two touchdowns. Kemp caught six passes for a career-high 126 yards and surpassed 2,000-yard career mark. Harris led the team with 94 yards rushing and 254 all-purpose yards while Diocemy Saint Juste chipped in with 81 yards on the ground and caught his first career receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter. After holding each of the previous two opponents to 17 points, the Hawai’i defense surrendered 536 yards of total offense. Jahlani Tavai led the Rainbow Warriors with a career-high 14 tackles. Neither team could shake free of the other through the first three quarters. UNLV struck first with a touchdown pass from Dalton Sneed before Saint Juste’s 55-yard scamper set up a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Steven Lakalaka. The teams exchanged blows for the remainder of the half, each scoring two touchdowns in the second quarter to go into halftime tied at 21-21. Both defenses settled in as the scoring slowed in the third quarter. The Rebels got on the scoreboard with a 24-yard field goal before Warrior kicker Rigoberto Sanchez answered with an 18-yarder of his own. UH freshman Kaimana Padello blocked a punt late in the third quarter, which led to Saint Juste’s score to start the fourth quarter. The touchdown gave Hawai’i its first lead in the second half and the marked first time the UH offense led in total yardage since the opening quarter. Neither lead would hold as a resilient Rebel squad would not go away. UNLV tied the game on the subsequent possession on David Greene’s 1-yard run, his second touchdown of the game.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Hawai’i gave one of its grittiest efforts in recent memory to pull out a 34-27 double-overtime road win over Air Force (4-3, 2-2 MW) at Falcon Stadium, just its second-ever win in Colorado Springs and first since 1992. The Rainbow Warriors, who won at San Jose State two weeks ago, have now earned wins in consecutive road games for the first time since 2010. In the process UH also snapped Air Force’s 15-game home win streak, the second-longest streak in the nation. In addition to the road streak brewing, UH was able to return the Kuter Trophy to the islands, ending its 15-year stint in Colorado Springs. Marcus Kemp had a career-high 151 yards receiving and pair of overtime touchdowns, including a 25-yarder from Dru Brown in the second overtime that proved to be the game-winner. Senior defensive back Jalen Rogers sealed the win for UH when he intercepted Nate Romine’s last ditch effort to the endzone on 4th-and-7 on Air Force’s ensuing possession. The teams went to overtime only after a surprising key play at the end of regulation. After a back-and-forth contest, especially in the second half, Air Force strung together a 19-play, 75-yard drive that ate up the final 8:18 of the clock. However, Luke Strebel’s 32-yard field goal to win the game as time expired went wide-right for his first miss in 14 attempts this season. The UH defense played a huge part in the UH win, setting up the team’s first 13 points and holding the vaunted Air Force offense below its season averages in total offense and points. Down 7-0, the defensive unit helped turn the tide early in the second quarter, beginning with a fourth-down stop of Air Force near midfield. That helped the Rainbow Warriors get on the scoreboard with a 25-yard field goal by Rigoberto Sanchez, cutting the lead to 7-3. The defense came up big again late in the second quarter. Kory Rasmussen forced an Air Force fumble that was recovered by Damien Packer. Those efforts gave UH prime field position on the Air Force 36-yard line and the UH took full advantage, as Steven Lakalaka’s 1-yard touchdown gave UH a 10-7 lead heading into the locker room. In the third quarter, Air Force notched a pair of Strebel field goals to retake the lead at 13-10, but again the Warrior defense would keep UH in the game. Jahlani Tavai forced a fumble recovered by Meffy Koloamatangi that set UH up at the Air Force 11. UH couldn’t punch it into endzone but a 35-yard Sanchez kick tied it up, 13-13. The team traded 75-yard scoring drives in the fourth quarter, including a UH drive that ended with a 40-yard touchdown pass from Brown to John Ursua, drawing the score to 20-20 with less than nine minutes remaining. Brown finished with a career-high 21-of-37 for 312 yards and three touchdowns, while throwing two interceptions, snapping a streak of 118 attempts without a pick. Ursua also had a career game with seven catches for 108 yards and one touchdown.

HONOLULU – Hawai’i let its second straight home game slip away in a 28-21 loss to New Mexico on a wet and soggy evening on Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium. The wet weather neutralized both teams’ offenses. The Lobos (5-3, 3-1 MW) which featured the nation’s top-ranked rushing offense at nearly 400 per game, was held to just 237 yards while UH (4-5, 3-2 MW) came into the game averaging 36 points in Mountain West play. Hawai’i also held New Mexico to 321 total yards offense, a season-low for a UH opponent. For the second straight home game, UH let a late turnover decide its fate. Two weeks ago, a late fumble led to a game-winning field goal by UNLV. This time around a Diocemy Saint Juste fourth quarter fumble was scooped up and returned for the eventual game-winning touchdown by the Lobos. UH fell into 14-0 hole early in the game, but came back in the second quarter. Dru Brown scored on a 6-yard rush pulling the Warriors within a score. Just before the end of the first half, a 30-yard John Ursua punt return set up UH’s second score to tie up the game. With :02 left, the Warriors opted to line up for a field goal but holder and backup quarterback Ikaika Woolsey took the snap and hurdled a defender and leaped into the end zone. to tie the game at 14-14 at the half. Both teams failed to do much on its first three possessions of the third quarter until the Lobos ground game—which was held in check up until then—busted open with a 72-yard touchdown by Tyrone Owens. The Warriors answered right back to tie it at 21-21 following a 4-yard touchdown run by Steven Lakalaka. It marked the seventh straight game the senior reached the end zone, tying a UH record in the Division I era which was set by Alex Green in 2010. The Lobos retook the lead after a Saint-Juste fumble which was recovered by Lee Crosby and returned for a 46-yard touchdown. On its ensuing possession, UH marched downfield, eating up nearly six minutes on the clock and driving to the UNM 6. On fourth and 1, Lakalaka was stopped a yard short giving the ball back to the Lobos with 2:29 remaining. The Lobos ran out the clock to end the game. Offensively, Brown finished the game going 16-28 for 173 yards and a rushing touchdown. Saint Juste led UH running for 77 yards on 17 carries with a long of 23 and an average of 4.5 yards per carry. Kemp led the ‘Bows with 89 yards receiving on eight catches. On defense, Jahlani Tavai recorded a team-high 11 total tackles—including four solo. Tavai also recorded a pass break-up, a quarterback hurry, and a forced fumble. Malachi Mageo was right behind Tavai with 10 tackles with five solo..
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – In a clash between the top two teams in the West Division of the Mountain West, San Diego State got the better of Hawai’i, 55-0, at Qualcomm Stadium. UH dropped to 4-6 overall and 3-3 in the conference with the loss. The Aztecs (8-1, 5-0 MW) continued their stronghold on first-place with their 16th straight win in conference and 10th straight at home. The Rainbow Warriors came into the game having won their last two road games, but were unable to gain any momentum in a highly physical game. SDSU was dominant on both sides of the ball. The Aztecs, ranked ninth in the NCAA in rushing, piled up 296 yards on the ground led by the duo of Rashaad Penny (108 yards) and Donnel Pumphrey (112), the nation’s leading rusher. Meanwhile, SDSU limited the UH offense to a season-low 215 total yards, forced four turnovers, and scored two defensive touchdowns, both on interception returns. SDSU was methodical in its first two possessions. They pounded the ball on the ground for the majority of its 75- and 88-yard scoring drives, yet capped each drive in the air with a pair of short touchdown passes by Christian Chapman. UH buckled down on defense the rest of the half, but the Aztecs found other ways to hurt UH. The defense helped SDSU score 10 points off of two UH turnovers, including a 14-yard interception return by Ron Smith early in the second quarter. Meanwhile, a Quest Truxton 41-yard punt return helped set up an Aztec field goal in the waning seconds of the second quarter. UH was able to muster just 73 total yards in in the first half as they trailed 27-0 at the break. The Aztecs didn’t let up in the second half, scoring four unanswered touchdowns, highlighted by a 73-yard touchdown run by Penny and another interception return for score, this time a 54-yarder by Damontae Kazee. UH quarterback Dru Brown finished 22-of-35 for 135 yards and three interceptions. Redshirt freshman Aaron Zwhalen who started the second half and played three series went 3-of-10 for 32 yards and one interception in his first action as a Rainbow Warrior. Jahlani Tavai led the UH defense with 10 tackles, while Trayvon Henderson (eight tackles) recorded three of the team’s seven tackles-for-loss.

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai’i football team fell to No. 22 Boise State, 52-16, in a Mountain West match-up on Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium. With the loss, the Rainbow Warriors (4-7, 3-4 MW) suffered their third consecutive defeat and have now dropped six straight to the Broncos. Boise State (9-1, 5-1 MW) got off to a fast start and never looked back en route to 603 yards of total offense and a season-high 52 points. The Broncos scored touchdowns on five of their first six possessions behind a number of big plays as four receivers finished with catches of 20 or more yards. Quarterback Brett Rypien threw for 338 yards on 18-of-22 passing and four touchdowns while running back Jeremy McNichols finished with 153 yards and a pair of scores. UH struggled offensively for the first three quarters and failed to keep up the torrid pace. Running back Paul Harris produced a season-high 145 yards on the ground, while averaging an impressive 10.4 yards per carry. After a three-interception performance last week, quarterback Dru Brown finished with 125 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, safety Trayvon Henderson led all Rainbow Warrior tacklers with 10 while linebacker Jahlani Tavai added eight tackles, including two for loss, and a sack. UH, which will finish with a losing regular season record for the sixth straight year, allowed 50 or more points for the fourth time this season, setting a new program record. BSU opened the game with a five-play touchdown drive and scored again on its subsequent possession with a 36-yard run from McNichols. The Broncos, relying on both the run and the pass, charged forward in the second quarter leading to three straight touchdown drives, opening up a 28-0 lead. UH kicker Rigoberto Sanchez connected on a 24-yard field goal to briefly breakup up the Bronco scoring spree before a Rypien four-yard touchdown run late in the first half gave BSU a 35-3 lead at intermission. The pace slowed only slightly in the second half as BSU was able to break through with long touchdown passes, increasing its lead to 52-6. Behind Harris’ strong running, the Warriors responded, tacking on 13 points in the half. Hawai’i sandwiched a five-yard touchdown catch by wideout John Ursua between a pair of field goals by Sanchez, who is now a perfect 11-for-11 on the year.
FRESNO, Calif. – Viane Moala blocked Kody Kroening’s 43-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the game to seal a 14-13 Hawai’i win over Fresno State at Bulldog Stadium. The Rainbow Warriors improved to 5-7 overall and finished Mountain West play at 4-4 for their best record since joining the league in 2012. For nearly 57 minutes the teams played what would best be described as a lackluster game. However, the final three minutes made for one of the most exciting finishes of the year. Trailing 13-7 with just 3:31 left, the Rainbow Warriors went on a 12-play 76-yard drive, capped by a Steven Lakalaka 2-yard touchdown run with 59 seconds remaining. The senior running back’s second score of the day gave UH its first lead since midway through the second quarter. With one minute to work with, the Bulldogs had one last possession and drove down to the UH 26-yard line. That set up Kroening, who had nailed 15 consecutive field goals, including two earlier in the game—for a potential game-winner from 43 yards. But the 6-7 Moala penetrated the Bulldog line to get a piece of the ball and seal the UH win. It was the second block of the year for the true freshman from America Samoa With the victory, UH ended a five-game slide against the Bulldogs, picking up its first win in the series since defeating the Bulldogs at Fresno, 49-27 in 2010. It also gave UH its most overall wins (5) since that 2011 campaign (6). The Rainbow Warrior defense limited the Bulldogs to just 322 total yards, the second-lowest total by a UH opponent this year. Jahlani Tavai led the way with 12 tackles and tied his career-high with 3.0 tackles-for-loss, surmounting the century mark for season tackles early in the first half. The UH offense struggled for much of the game, going just 1-of-11 on third downs and being forced to punt on eight occasions. However, Dru Brown was there when UH needed him the most, converting on a number of big throws on the final drive and finishing 20-of-31 for 227 yards. He connected on a 21-yard pass to John Ursua on a 3rdand-25 from their own territory, then followed that with a big fourth-down conversion to Makoa Camanse-Stevens that kept UH’s hopes alive.

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warriors football team concluded regular-season play in thrilling fashion with a 46-40 win over Massachusetts on Hawaiian Tel FCU Field at Aloha Stadium. With the score tied late in the fourth quarter, wideout Keelan Ewaliko broke through on a 56-yard catch-and run – the first receiving touchdown of his career – to put Hawai‘i up for good with less than four minutes remaining. The Rainbow Warriors (6-7) defense then secured the win with a dramatic last stand, thwarting the Minutemen (2-10) as Rojesterman Farris II broke up a pass on 4th-and-11 play in the endzone. The contest also marked the final regular season event for 20 Hawai‘i seniors who were honored after the game in the traditional “Senior Walk” ceremony. Quarterback Dru Brown led the Warriors with 311 yards on 22-for-30 passing and a career-high five touchdowns. Diocemy Saint Juste topped all rushers with 122 yards and a touchdown, giving UH some cushion in the fourth quarter with a 40-yard scamper for a score. From the beginning, the teams set off a furious offensive pace that culminated in over 900 yards of combined total offense. UH scored on its opening drive on a 1-yard pass from Brown to tight end Dakota Torres. Brown threw two more touchdowns in the half – one to Marcus Kemp and one to Dylan Collie – as UH took a 24-13 lead into the break. With his first half performance, Kemp went over 1,000 yards on the season. With the game seemingly under control, the Warriors watched helplessly as UMass regained the lead in the third quarter with back-to-back touchdown passes. The Minutemen first scored on a 39-yard touchdown strike before a Brown fumble set up an eerily similar touchdown strike on the left side from 27 yards out. Nonetheless, UMass held only a 26-24 advantage as UH safety Trayvon Henderson blocked an extra point attempt. Henderson’s effort would prove crucial as the Warriors tied the game at 26 following a safety, resulting from a UMass fumble in their own end zone. Following the safety, Brown and Collie hooked up again to give Hawai‘i a 33-26 lead. With a one-touchdown lead and facing fourth down, UH caught the UMass offguard with a successful 14-yard fake punt attempt by Ben Scruton. UH capitalized immediately with 40-yard run from the elusive Saint Juste to take a commanding 40-26 lead. The Minutemen, however roared back with two touchdowns in under two minutes to tie the score and set the stage for the dramatic finish.

The Green Wave settled for two field goals, 22 and 37 yards respectively, by Seth Marler to get on the board before the end of the first half. In the second half, Tulane used big returns by Lynaris Elpheage, who cut the lead to two with a 60-yard punt return for touchdown and a 56-yard punt return to set up the go-ahead score. Tulane added to the lead after Warrior quarterback Shawn Withy-Allen fumbled in UH territory. One play later, Mewelde Moore rumbled 25 yards for a touchdown and Tulane had a 26-14 lead. Hawai‘i got the ball back just before the end of the third quarter after blocking a field-goal attempt and turned it into a touchdown. WithyAllen, facing fourth-and-one, tossed a 57-yard strike to Justin Colbert, who turned and dashed untouched to bring the Warriors within five, 26-21. Tulane answered with a 10-play, 80-yard drive that took 4:32 off the fourth-quarter clock. Withy-Allen hit Colbert on a crossing pattern for a 31-yard score to put the Warriors within reach, but a safety by the Green Wave ended all hopes. Colbert caught nine passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns in his last game as a Warrior. Withy-Allen completed 18-of-31 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
HONOLULU - An all-world performance by quarterback Timmy Chang and a defense that came up with timely big plays and three overtimes amounted to a 54-48 Hawai‘i win over Houston in front of 29,005 in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl on Dec. 25 at Aloha Stadium. Chang came off the bench to throw for 475 yards and five touchdowns on 26-of-42 passing, and Kelvin Millhouse Jr. snagged two interceptions, one that led to the go-ahead touchdown, to help Hawai‘i win its second bowl game in three tries under head coach June Jones. Chang completed passes to eight different receivers, most notably to senior Jeremiah Cockheran, who finished with five catches for a game-high 162 yards, and true freshman Jason Rivers, who had a career night with seven catches for 143 yards and three TDs. Quarterback Kevin Kolb, who finished 19-of-34 for 332 yards and two TDs, led the Cougars to a quick 10-0 lead. UH answered back with a Nolan Miranda field goal and Chang-to-Clifton Herbert 48-yard touchdown. Houston took a 20-13 lead at the break, but the Warrior defense and Chang responded. The defense forced two punts and two interceptions, while Chang connected on 8-of-12 for 191 yards and two scores to take the lead, 27-20, at the end of the third. Houston scored 14 points in the fourth, including the tying TD with 22 seconds left in regulation. The teams matched touchdowns in two overtimes and Michael Brewster scored the game-winner on an 8-yard run to leave it up to the Warrior defense, which held Houston to four-and-out on the final stand.

HONOLULU - Hawai‘i outscored Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), 31-14, in the second half to win the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, 59-40, Dec. 24 at Aloha Stadium. A crowd of 38,754 filled the stands, then the largest in Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl history. Quarterback Timmy Chang threw for 405 (31-of-46) yards and four touchdowns, and rushed for another, while slot receiver Chad Owens caught eight passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns, and scored another on a 59-yard punt return, to put an exclamation point on both storied careers. The two were named the game’s co-MVPs. The teams traded scoring and UAB’s Nick Hayes added a 36-yard field goal to make it 28-26 at halftime. The Warriors took control in the second half. Chang threw a 15-yard strike to Owens to put Hawai‘i ahead, 35-26. The pass put Chang over the 17,000-yard mark as college football’s career passing leader. Four minutes later, Owens returned a punt for a 59-yard score down the near sideline to put the Warriors up, 42-26. Justin Ayat added a 43-yard field goal, but quarterback Darrell Hackney managed an 80-yard drive and scored on a 4-yard touchdown rush to bring the score to 45-33, heading into the fourth quarter. Chang helped put the game out of reach, putting together a 15-play, 85-yard drive, capped by a 4-yard touchdown scramble with 9:05 left to play. Hackney hit Lance Rhodes for a 17-yard touchdown to cut the Warrior lead to 12 with 2:05 left in the game, but Britton Komine returned the onside kick 42 yards to the house to end all hopes for the Blazers.
HONOLULU – The largest crowd in Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl history (43,435) saw Hawai‘i score 38 second-half points to defeat Arizona State, 41-24, Dec. 24 at Aloha Stadium. Warrior quarterback Colt Brennan threw for a school-record 559 yards (33 of 42) and five touchdowns, giving him 58 touchdown passes on the season, a new NCAA record. Jason Rivers tied the school record with 14 catches for a school- and NCAA bowl game-record 308 yards and two touchdowns. Both were named Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl co-Most Valuable Players, along with Arizona State’s Ryan Torain who finished the game with 18 carries for 160 yards and one touchdown. For the first time since opening day, Hawai‘i (11-3) did not score a touchdown in the first half, squandering scoring opportunities, a missed field goal in the first quarter and an interception in the second, allowing Arizona State to take a 10-3 halftime lead. But the Warriors erupted for 21 points in the third quarter when Brennan threw touchdown strikes to Rivers (38 yards), and two to Ryan Grice-Mullen (7 and 36 yards, respectively) to take a 24-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Grice-Mullen finished with eight catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Dan Kelly added a 43-yard field goal before Arizona State (7-6) scored 14 straight points to cut the Warrior lead to three, 27-24, with 10:25 left to play. But Brennan and the Warrior offense were not finished. Brennan found Davone Bess for a 21-yard touchdown to cap an 80-yard drive, and Rivers capped a 95-yard drive with a 79-yard touchdown catchand-run to seal the win.

HONOLULU – Hawai‘i concluded its 2008 campaign with a 49-21 loss to Notre Dame in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl Christmas Eve at Aloha Stadium. UH finished the year with a 7-7 record. Making its sixth bowl appearance in the last seven years, the Warriors could do little to contain the Fighting Irish who finished with a 7-6 mark. The loss ended a string of three straight Hawai‘i Bowl wins for UH dating back to 2003. Jimmy Clausen passed for 401 yards and five touchdowns to end Notre Dame’s nine-game bowl losing streak and give the Fighting Irish their first bowl win in 15 years. Clausen, who passed for 302 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, completed 22-of-26 passes en route to co-MVP honors. Clausen shared the MVP award with sophomore receiver Golden Tate, his primary target, who hauled in six passes for 177 yards. Tate caught touchdown passes of 69, 18 and 40 yards. The three touchdown receptions tied a Hawai‘i Bowl record. Senior wide receiver Aaron Bain earned bowl MVP honors for Hawai‘i after scoring two touchdowns on the day. Bain finished with career-highs in receptions (8) and yards (109). Junior quarterback Greg Alexander finished 23-of-39 for 261 yards for UH. Senior Solomon Elimimian, the school’s all-time leader in tackles, led UH with nine stops, including one sack. UH made it a 14-7 game when Bain scored on a 10-yard connection from Alexander midway through the second quarter. It was all Irish after that. Notre Dame answered right back on its next possession with a 69-yard bomb from Clausen to Tate to move its cushion to two touchdowns and begin a string of 28 unanswered points by the Fighting Irish.
HONOLULU – A turnover-riddled Hawai‘i team fell to Tulsa, 62-35, in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl Christmas Eve at Aloha Stadium. The Warriors finished the season with a 10-4 mark. Tulsa scored 24 points off of six UH turnovers in the first half, including two interception returns for touchdowns. UH limited the dangerous Tulsa offense to just 94 yards and five first downs in the first half but the Golden Hurricane took advantage of an error-prone Warrior offense to stake a 27-14 halftime lead, a lead they would not relinquish. Hawai‘i ended the game with a 550-531 advantage in yards, but still lost handily while giving up their most points since a 63-17 loss to No. 1 USC in 2005. Tulsa All-American Damaris Johnson earned bowl MVP honors for Tulsa (10-3) after racking up 326 all-purpose yards. Johnson tallied 94 yards rushing, 101 receiving and 127 in returns en route to setting a new NCAA career mark in all-purpose yardage. Meanwhile, playing his final game as a Warrior, senior Greg Salas recorded 13 catches for a career-high 214 yards and two touchdowns. Curnelius Arnick had two interceptions, including a 54-yard touchdown return in the second quarter to lead a Tulsa defense that recorded five interceptions. Both offenses got into gear in the second half and the Warriors cut the Golden Hurricane lead to just six points on two occasions in the third quarter. However, Tulsa pulled away with a pair of touchdowns—a Johnson 67-yard run and a Thomas Roberson 47-yard reception—to take a 20-point lead into the fourth quarter.
