Aloha!

On behalf of the Hawai‘i Bowl Staff, our Executive Committee, our Corporate Sponsors and Volunteers, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex and the Hawai‘i Bowl.

Congratulations to two outstanding teams, the San José State Spartans and South Florida Bulls on their selection to play in the postseason. And, we welcome both schools and their supporters to Hawai‘i. We think you’ll find that there is no better December destination than Honolulu, Hawai’i!

Through the year-round efforts and support of our fans and the local community, the Hawai‘i Bowl has become a holiday tradition reaching millions of ESPN viewers across the country and embodying the MADE IN HAWAI‘I, PLAYED IN HAWAI‘I spirit.

The community has been so supportive of the Hawai’i Bowl, and we are pleased to give something back to the community. Throughout the year, the Hawai‘i Bowl Foundation has raised funds for charities. Since the bowl’s inception, we have had the privilege to grant more than a million dollars, primarily to Hawai‘i-based charities. This year, we are pleased to grant more than $51,000 to various organizations during our in-game ceremony plus an additional $40,000 to assist local teachers in their classrooms, with teacher training, and for teacher retention.

I would especially like to thank our fans in the stands who recognize the thrill of watching the highest levels of college football in person.

Again, thank you for your support of the Hawai‘i Bowl, and enjoy this exciting event!

Aloha Kalikimaka!

YEAR IN REVIEW

The 7-5 San José State Spartans weren’t predicted to make the Hawai’i Bowl, let alone any bowl at all, starting the season picked 10th in the Mountain West preseason media poll, but under the guidance of new head coach Ken Niumatalolo, the Spartans were bowl eligible after just nine games on their way back to the Hawai’i Bowl for the second-straight season and for the first time in program history heading to three bowl games in a row. The Spartans also have seven or more wins in a season for three straight seasons for the first time since 1980-82, and it’s the first time they’ve had seven or more wins in four out of five years since 1978-82.

With 49 new players and only 101 players on the roster, the Spartans had to depend on a veteran for leadership, and that was wide receiver Nick Nash. The 2024 Biletnikoff Award finalist and All-Mountain West First Team recipient, Nash finished the season leading all of FBS football in receptions (104), receptions per game (8.7), yards (1,382), yards per game (115.2) and receiving touchdowns (16). Nash is only the fourth FBS player to earn the receiving triple crown by leading in receptions, yards, and touchdowns following the regular season.

The Spartans had a strong start to the season, starting with a comeback 4224 win over Sacramento State in TNT Sports’ first-ever college football game and then going on the road to beat Air Force 17-7 for the Spartans’ first-ever victory in Colorado Springs. SJSU started the season 3-0 when coming home and beating Kennesaw State 31-10.

SJSU then returned on the road for a tough Friday night in Pullman, Wash., where they came up just short in double overtime to Washington State, 54-52. The Spartans alternated wins and losses the next five weeks, including wins over Nevada and Wyoming and on the road at Oregon State. Down the stretch, the Spartans fell to eventual College Football Playoff team No. 3 seed Boise State and No. 23 UNLV and then ended the year with a 34-31 win over Stanford on CBS for their first-ever win over an ACC school.

The Spartans have the No. 5 ranked passing offense in the country, averaging 325.3 yards per game, and are ranked number two in the country when it comes to takeaways with 27. The Spartans also lead the country with 20 interceptions caught this season.

This season, SJSU has used two quarterbacks, Emmett Brown and Walker Eget. Brown has thrown for 1,621 yards wih 16 touchdowns, while Eget has thrown for 2,232 yards and 11 touchdowns as the Spartans look for their first bowl win since 2015.

Ken Niumatalolo: From Navy to San José Success

The all-time winningest coach in the Naval Academy, Ken Niumatalolo, was named San José State’s 30th head football coach in program history on January 21, 2024, and took the Spartans to the Hawai‘i Bowl and a seven-win regular season in his first year. The seven wins are the most for an SJSU head coach in their first season since Ron Turner won seven in 1992.

Niumatalolo won a program-best 109 games, led Navy to 10 bowl games over 15 seasons and is a three-time American Athletic Conference (AAC) Coach of the Year (2015, ‘16, ‘19). He earned the 2019 Stallings Award, presented to the college football head coach who is both a humanitarian and an exceptional head coach.

Niumatalolo started his reign in Annapolis with eight straight wins over Army and 10 overall, which is the most in the history of the rivalry game. Navy won 6-of-10 bowl games during Niumatalolo’s tenure and picked up wins over Pittsburgh and Kansas State after posting a school record 11-2 marks in 2015 and ’19, finishing inside the top 25 for the first time in the last 60 years.

Niumatalolo, 58, helped Navy earn the Lambert Trophy in 2015, awarded to the best team in the East, for the first time since 1963.

He led Navy to its first outright division title in 2016 going 7-1 in the AAC, winning the West division, and is the only coach in Navy history to win three-consecutive bowl games. His six bowl wins and six Commander-In-Chief trophies are the most in Navy history.

In 2015, Niumatalolo

was one of four coaches to be named a finalist for the Dodd Trophy and the Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Award. In 2016, he was a Dodd Trophy finalist again and was named AFCA Region 1 Coach of the Year.

In 2019, he was a Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Award for the second time in his career.

In 2013, Niumatalolo was selected to the inaugural class of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame and was the second Polynesian head coach in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history and the first Samoan collegiate head coach on any level.

The Lā‘ie, Hawai‘i native played quarterback at Hawai‘i from 1987-89 and was part of their first bowl team in 1989. After he graduated, he then joined head coach Paul Johnson’s staff at Hawai‘i first as a graduate assistant and then eventually as a full-time assistant (1990-94).

In 1995, Niumatalolo followed Johnson to Navy first as the running backs coach and then in 1997 was named the offensive coordinator. His first stint at Navy lasted from 1995-98 before he left to go to UNLV to be tight ends coach/ special teams coordinator from 19992001. Niumatalolo returned to Navy in 2002 to be assistant head coach under Johnson until taking over head coaching duties in 2007.

USF is situated in the vibrant and diverse Tampa Bay region, with campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota-Manatee. Together, USF’s campuses serve nearly 50,000 students pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist and professional degrees. Across 13 colleges, undergraduates choose from more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations, from business and engineering to the arts and USF Health.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked USF as one of the nation’s top 50 public universities for six consecutive years. Over the past 10 years, USF has risen an impressive 39 spots among public universities, from No. 84 to No. 45, and 65 spots among all universities, from No. 156 to No. 91. U.S. News also ranks USF as the #1 “best value” among all universities in Florida, public or private, and No. 22 nationally for social mobility, which measures an institution’s success at graduating Pell Grant recipients.

In 2023, USF became the first public university in Florida in nearly 40 years to be invited to join the Association of American Universities (AAU), a prestigious group of the leading universities in the United States and Canada.

High-impact global research is central to USF’s mission as one of only three Preeminent Research Universities, as designated by the Florida Board of Governors. The

Preeminence program rewards high-achieving universities based on multiple metrics, including graduation rates, student retention rates, research expenditures and the number of patents awarded.

With 88 new U.S. utility patents granted in 2023, USF is 14th among American public research universities and 34th among all universities worldwide in generating new patents. The ranking places USF as a leader among the more than 1,000 academic institutions generating new, novel and useful inventions granted intellectual property protection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

USF’s innovation and economic development efforts produce tangible benefits across Florida. The university has a total annual economic impact of $6.02 billion and supports 68,704 jobs in the state.

As Tampa Bay’s only academic medical center, USF Health is in partnership with the Morsani College of Medicine, College of Nursing, College of Public Health, Taneja College of Pharmacy, School of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Sciences, Biomedical Sciences Graduate & Postdoctoral Programs, and USF Health’s multispecialty physicians group. Tampa General Hospital achieved national recognition in eight adult medical specialties, many led or co-led by USF Health faculty physicians, demonstrating a strong partnership in delivering top-quality care.

At USF, we believe every student will succeed if given the opportunity. Everyone can find a connection, as we embrace a global culture on our campuses with students representing nearly 150 countries and a selection of nearly 800 student organizations.

YEAR IN REVIEW

University of South Florida football makes its second-straight bowl appearance under second-year head coach Alex Golesh at the Hawai‘i Bowl. USF won four of its last six games of the regular season and earned the program’s 12th bowl appearance in 24 seasons playing at the FBS level. USF’s 12 bowl appearances in its first 24 FBS seasons rank fourth for any program since 1980.

The Bulls have won seven of their previous 11 bowl appearances, including three of the last four and a 45-0 victory over Syracuse in the 2023 Boca Raton Bowl. Hawai‘i will mark the 10th different bowl destination for USF and the sixth different state or province (the Bulls played one bowl in Canada) for the Bulls to compete in a bowl game. At over 4,200 miles from Tampa, it will be the farthest destination the Bulls have ever played away from home.

Five Bulls were named to American Athletic Conference all-conference teams, led by Australian punter Andrew Stokes, who earned first-team honors and was also a semifinalist for the Ray Guy award. Defensive tackle Decarius Hawthorne earned second-team honors and standout wide receiver Sean Atkins earned all-conference recognition for the second-straight year with third-team honors.

Running back Kelley Joiner and defensive tackle Bernard Gooden were named honorable mention.

Atkins, a former walk-on, enters the bowl game

needing 74 yards to become the Bulls’ all-time receiving yardage leader and break the record of 2,136. He already owns the USF career mark for receptions (189) and season records for receptions (92) and yards (1,054) set in 2023.

A strong run game and aggressive defense helped USF earn a second straight bowl appearance. USF averaged 300 yards rushing per game in its six wins and ran for more than 300 yards in four games, the second-most in FBS football. Joiner leads the charge on the ground with a career-best 766 yards and 11 touchdowns, but three running backs have run for more than 400 yards and seven touchdowns on the year.

The USF defense ranks No. 5 nationally in tackles for loss (8.0 per game), and No. 27 in sacks (2.67 per game). The Bulls also rank No. 4 in fumbles recovered with 12 and No. 12 in turnovers gained, leading The American with 24. Linebacker Mac Harris leads the defense with 74 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and four sacks. Eight Bulls have posted five or more tackles for loss, eight have an interception and nine have recovered a fumble.

Quarterback Byrum Brown, who set a program season passing record in 2023 with 3,292 yards and led the team in rushing with 809 yards, started the first five games of the 2024 season. He suffered a leg injury in the Tulane game, and Bryce Archie has led the Bulls’ offense for the last seven games, winning four and posting 345 total yards and three touchdowns in a win over Tulsa, as Brown continues to progress in his return and practices with the team.

A CELEBRATION OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL OUR MISSION Bowl Season promotes the game of college football by providing meaningful experiences and life-long memories for players, coaches, fans, universities and communities across the country.

Alex Golesh: Architecting a USF Turnaround

Alex Golesh, the son of immigrant parents, rose through the collegiate coaching ranks to become the sixth head coach in USF football history on Dec. 4, 2022. His journey includes transformative impacts at multiple programs, culminating in remarkable achievements at USF and beyond.

Transformational First Season at USF In his inaugural season, Golesh engineered the greatest turnaround in USF program history. Under his leadership, the Bulls improved from a 1-11 record to 7-6, capped by a historic 45-0 Boca Raton Bowl victory over Syracuse—the largest shutout in NCAA bowl history.

This six-win improvement ranked as the second-largest in FBS football in 2023. The team shattered 12 program records and 16 individual records, while securing the nation’s highest-ranked recruiting class among non-autonomy four programs, ranked No. 48 nationally by Rivals.

Offensive Innovation at Tennessee Before USF, Golesh served as offensive coordinator and tight ends coach at Tennessee (2021-2022), earning recognition as a Broyles Award finalist and 247Sports Offensive Coordinator of the Year. His tempo-based offensive system propelled Tennessee to a 10-win season in 2022, including a No. 6 College Football Playoff ranking. The Volunteers led the nation in scoring (47.33), total offense (538.1 yards per game), and multiple other metrics.

Tennessee was the only team to average over 300 yards passing and 200 yards rushing that season, scoring 40plus points in 15 of 25 games under Golesh’s direction.

Key Contributions at Other Programs Golesh’s impact extends to eight FBS programs: • Iowa State (2016-2019): As tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator under Matt Campbell, Golesh helped the Cyclones secure four top-50 recruiting classes and transition from a 3-9 team to five straight bowl appearances. He was integral in Iowa State’s development into a 9-3, Fiesta Bowl team.

• Illinois (2012-2015): Golesh elevated the Illini from a two-win team to back-to-back bowl seasons, serving

as tight ends/running backs coach and recruiting coordinator.

• Toledo (2009-2011): Golesh helped lead the Rockets from a 3-9 record to two consecutive winning seasons, including 8-5 and 9-4 campaigns. Toledo secured the No. 1 recruiting classes in the MAC in 2010 and 2011 under his guidance.

• UCF (2020): As co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, Golesh contributed to UCF ranking second nationally in total offense (568.1 yards per game) and eighth in scoring offense (42.2 points per game).

Player Development Successes Golesh has demonstrated excellence in player development, coaching standout athletes such as: • Hendon Hooker (Tennessee): The quarterback shattered school records in completion percentage (69.6% in 2022) and passing efficiency, becoming a Maxwell Award finalist and coming within 224 yards of Peyton Manning’s single-season total offense record before an injury.

• Jalin Hyatt (Tennessee): The wide receiver won the Biletnikoff Award in 2022 after tying for the national lead in receiving touchdowns (15) and ranking third in receiving yards (1,267).

• Marlon Williams (UCF): A Biletnikoff Award finalist in 2020, Williams ranked third nationally in receptions per game (8.9) and fifth in yards per game (129.9).

Accolades and Personal Background Golesh’s career includes appearances in 13 bowl games and coaching five NFL Draft picks. He was named to the AFCA 35 Under 35 class in 2019. Born in Moscow, Russia, Golesh emigrated to the U.S. in 1991, growing up in Dublin, Ohio. A three-year letter winner in football at Dublin Scioto High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Ohio State in 2006.
