MEDIA INFORMATIONMEDIA RELATIONS FOOTBALL CONTACTSDerek Inouchi, Media Relations Director Office: (808) 956-4478 4 Cell: (808) 954-0234E-mail: [email protected]

Michael Stambaugh, Asst. Media Relations DirectorOffice: (808) 956-9748 4 Cell: (785) 979-5721E-mail: [email protected]

INTERVIEW POLICYContact the UH Sports Media Relations Office to arrange player or coach interviews at least 24 hours in advance. All players and coaches will be available for interviews after practice from Monday through Thursday. Every effort will be made to accommodate interview requests but players will not be asked to miss class, study hall, practices, or medical treat-ment. Players mobile or home numbers will not be released by the Sports Media Relations Office.

MEDICAL POLICYThe UH Sports Media Relations Office abides by fed-eral law pertaining to the releasing of injury informa-tion. 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-HEE-nay) 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 separa-tor. 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 back-wards, inverted apostrophe. The practice of the UH Sports Media Relations office is to use the ‘okina in all Hawaiian words in which they occur.

NEVADA NOTES

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR DON BAILEYBailey arrived at UH after a four-year stint at Idaho State as the offensive coordinator and associate head coach—where he also earned 2014 FCS Coordinator of the Year honors from FootballScoop. Hardly a flash in the pan. Bailey has

transformed every offense he’s worked with. Under Bailey’s guidance, the ISU Bengals moved from one of the lowest-rated offensive teams to the offensive elite, and quickly. Before his arrival, they ranked 114th (of 117) in total offense and 108th in scoring offense. Fast forward four years and the Bengals finished the 2014 season with the nation’s second-best total offense (562 YPG), sixth-best scoring offense (40.3 PPG) and were number one in passing with 348 yards-by-air per game. All-American Quarterback Justin Arias led FCS in passing yards per game at 339.7 last season under Bailey’s Tutelage, aiding the Bengals to a top 25 ranking in one of the toughest FCS conferences. Bailey also engineered offensive revitalizations at South Dakota State and Montana State, using a coaching style learned under Portland State’s Pokey Allen.

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR TOM MASONHired in February to take the reins of the Rainbow Warrior defense, Mason has worked a storied career of nearly 40 years on the defensive side of the ball, coming most recently from a sev-en-year stint at SMU under for-mer Hawai’i coach June Jones,

splitting duties the vast majority of his final season as not only the DC, but the interim head coach. SMU hit a high point in its push to return to former glory in 2012 with the Mustangs’ defense under Mason’s guidance, posting two shutouts and tying an NCAA interception record, while ranking 15th in rush defense, tied for third in takeaways and second in fumble recoveries. Mason’s defenses aided SMU to three consecu-tive bowl seasons and a narrow loss in the 2010 Conference-USA Championship Game, helping to res-urrect a program stagnant since its fall in the 1980s. Mason also brings a unique understanding of not only the league, but Hawai’i as well to his post, with a previous seven-year turn as linebackers coach at Fresno State, along with runs at Nevada and Boise State. He has positioned several defenses to be among the nation’s best

SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR JAKE COOKUSCookus arrived in Honolulu from Missoula, Montana, where his post had been co-special teams coordinator and safeties coach for the Montana Grizzlies over the previous two seasons. Finishing the season ranked No. 13 in NCAA Division I

Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), the Griz have advanced to the semifinal of the NCAA FCS Playoffs each of the last two years. Montana also earned 6-2 records each of the last two years in arguably one the most powerful conferences in the FCS—the Big Sky—a league that sends a minimum of three teams to the 24-team playoff each year, four in 2014. That kind of success is hard to come by without a quality special teams effort. During his time in Missoula, Cookus had his squad topping out at 17th in the FCS in net punting, 33rd in punt returns and 45th in kickoff returns. It was a carry-over from the success he engineered in seven seasons at Weber State as special teams coordinator (last three as co-defensive coordinator as well), where his unit ranked sixth in net punting and 16th in kickoff returns during his final season there.

NEW WARRIOR COORDINATORS LOOKING MAKE THEIR MARK

‘BOWS LOOK TO DRAW SERIES CLOSER TO EVENMarking its 20th incarnation, the Wolf Pack holds a slight lead in the series, up 11-8 overall, and have been very successful at home, holding a 6-1 advantage in Reno. One of the earliest collegiate opponents to make the trip to the Hawaiian Islands, the Wolf Pack shut out the Rainbow Warriors 14-0 in 1920, reeling off an additional pair of wins before UH tallied a pair of its own, winning in 1968 and again in 2000, when NEV joined in league with the Western Athletic Conference, initiating 14 consecutive seasons of meeting UH in the regular season. Meeting for the 15th consecutive season, the home team has been more prone to claim victory, but UH reeled off a three-game streak from 2006-08, and Nevada has won the last four straight and six of the last seven. Last season, Nevada trailed 10-0, but launched into a 26-point run before the Rainbow Warriors answered in the fourth with a touchdown and two-point conversion, falling short in the 26-18 comeback loss. LOCAL CONNECTIONSNevada redshirt freshman defensive lineman Kalei Meyer is from Waipahu, O‘ahu, attending Kamehameha Schools-Kapalāma along with Rainbow Warriors redshirt freshman fullback Kaiwi Chung, freshman defensive back Austin Borengasser, freshman long snapper Noah Borden and redshirt freshman defensive lineman Ka‘aumoana Gifford. Nevada redshirt freshman Jake Lacaden hails from from Kapolei, O‘ahu, attending St. Louis School alongside junior wide receiver Kalei Letoto and redshirt freshman wide receiver Devan Stubblefield. FAMILIAR TERRITORYLike many of the 2015 UH opponents, defensive coordinator Tom Mason has seen the Wolf Pack’s operation from the inside. Mason spent two sea-sons on the Nevada staff, coaching defensive backs in 1998 and expand-ing his role in 1999 to include defensive coordinator duties.

The University of Hawai’i is working with a clean slate on all fronts in 2015, as one of only seven programs in NCAA DI FBS replacing both offensive and defensive coordinators—Idaho State’s Don Bailey looks to boost the offense, while SMU’s Tom Mason will bolster UH’s defensive strength. With the addition of Montana’s Jake Cookus, the Warriors are one of only two FBS program in the nation replacing coordinators in all three facets of the game.

2015 Hawai‘i Football Weekly Release 5 HawaiiRainbowWarriorsFootball @HawaiiFootball HawaiiAthletics.com

GENERAL NOTES HAWAI‘I VS. NEVADA (OCT. 24, 2015) HAWAI‘I - NEW MEXICO POST-GAME NOTES

4Hawai‘i and New Mexico met for the 23rd time and seventh time in Albuquerque—with the loss, UNM trimmed UH’s series lead 14-9 and the Lobos took a 4-3 lead in Albuquerque

4UNM extended its series win streak to six games.

4Wide Receiver Isaiah Bernard made his first career start, he caught 3 passes for 62 yards.

4On defense, two new players made their first starts, defensive end Meffy Koloamatangi and safety Dany Mulanga.

A BAKERS DOZENThe Thursday (Sept. 3) opener between UH and Colorado kicked off a grueling 13 consecutive weeks of games, with no BYEs, as the only two NCAA FBS teams with the full schedule. TAKING THE SCENIC ROUTEThrough the course of the 13-game slate, the Warriors take to the road, rather the air, for six games. UH is the only program in DI FBS to play games in five separate time zones in traveling to contests, and opened with their longest trip at Ohio State, taking 9,020 miles off the board, and followed up with over 8,300 and 5,600 more miles in reach-ing Wisconsin and Boise. It was 6,450 to Albuquerque, and this week, UH will add over 5,136 to the frequent flier miles, first hitting L.A., then Reno.After this week, only one more trip remains,

unless UH finishes hot for a Las Vegas Bow berth. With just under 30,000 miles off the board, the road total is building to over 40,122 air miles by

season’s end.Through the six road contests, UH crosses time zone borders a total of 26 times. IRREGULAR WORKING HOURSIn addition to a variety of travel locations and environments, UH is also scheduled to kick off at now nine unique game times, opening up the first week with a 7:04 p.m. HT kickoff against Colorado, 3:42 p.m. ET at Ohio State, 6:00 p.m. at home vs. UC Davis, 7:12 p.m. CT start at Wisconsin and 8:15 p.m. MT/4:15 p.m. HT start at Boise State expanded the field to 9 unique kick times, with an ESPN2 contest in the mountains. Last week, UH started at 5:00 p.m. MT and will make their Pacific Time debut with their seventh unique kick time, 1:00 p.m. PT/10:00 a.m. HT. HAWAI‘I IN MOUNTAIN WEST PLAYSince joining the Mountain West in 2012, the Rainbow Warriors have yet to make a strong showing, winning a single conference game in their inaugural season, and winless in year 2. However, UH began to gain some traction in 2014, winning three (3), with 3-of-5 losses decided by 10 or fewer. The Rainbow Warriors are now 4-23 in Mountain West play. Opening with a 55-0 road loss Boise State and a 28-14 Homecoming miss to San Diego State, taking a comeback loss to New Mexico in the closing moments last week in Albuquerque, 28-27.DEFENSE WORKING OVERTIMEA product of the new offense and gaining comfortability, as well as level of competition, after seven games UH has found inconsistency in keeping the offense on the field and the Rainbow Warriors move up this week to 126th after a steady ranking of last nationally in time of possession (127). The previous three (3) weeks’ opponents did not improve the margins, with Boise State’s dominant offense following Wisconsin traditional run-based Big Ten offense, and San Diego State placing their emphasis on the talents of RB Donnel Pumphrey. Boise State controlled the ball for 37:33, compared with SDSU’s 36:17, while a prime example of burning the clock was Wisconsin, as the Badgers ran the ball on 13-of-16 plays of its opening dive, becoming the first opponent to score on UH right out of the gate, but also chewing up 8:09 seconds of the first quarter. The New Mexico Lobos did the Rainbow Warriors no favors with their triple offense approach, but UH was able to find its footing in the ground game, splitting the TOP deficit, 29:41 - 30:19. Much like at UNM, in games this season the defensive scheme presses teams to keep their offense on the ground, as was the case with Colorado in the opener, with the Buffs limited to 156 yards passing. The tempo of the offense also comes into play. Even when UH is successful, they had averaged only 1:53 per scoring possession through six games. At UNM, UH averaged 3:11 on scoring drives. Overall, the ‘Bows hold only a 23:54 average TOP and have not controlled the stat in any game this season, making the ‘Bows defense one of the most experienced on-field units so far in 2015. MAINLAND BLUESThe Rainbow Warriors return to the mainland for the fifth time this year. In each outing thus far, UH has faced some stiff competition in their road games this season, while UH has had a tough run offensively in 3-of-4 games away from Hawai‘i, dropping 22 of the last 23 road contests. Taking on three (3) opponents who are or were listed among the top 25, including the defending National Champion, UH has been shutout three (3) times by a margin of 121-0 in road games, but put up 27 last week. Conversely, UH has split even with a 103-103 scoring margin when playing at home. The last time that UH took three (3) shutouts in a season was in 1966 under lone-year coach Phil Sarboe. It previously occurred in 1964 under Jim Asato and 1921 under Otto “Proc” Klum. The program has never had a four-shutout (4) season in its history.

2015 Hawai‘i Football Weekly Release 6 HawaiiRainbowWarriorsFootball @HawaiiFootball HawaiiAthletics.com

GENERAL NOTES HAWAI‘I VS. NEVADA (OCT. 24, 2015) NEW BOWL A LATE ADDITION TO THE MOUNTAIN WEST LINEUPThe Mountain West could have as many as eight bowls in its portfolio this season, as officials from the Arizona Sports and Entertainment Commission proudly announced on Oct. 1 the addition the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl game to the Arizona lineup for 2015 and beyond. The bowl will be played on Tuesday, Dec. 29 at 7:30pm ET at Arizona Stadium in Tucson and will pair teams from Conference USA and the Mountain West Conference. Should either C-USA or the MWC not have enough bowl eligible teams, the Sun Belt Conference will serve as a backup. The NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl will be the first post-season bowl game to have a “digitally-focused broadcast strategy.” Campus Insiders has partnered with the bowl to stream the game live. A televi-sion network partner will be announced at a later date. With the addition of the Arizona Bowl, there are now a record 41 bowl games set for this season, including the College Football Playoff Championship Game. That means 80 FBS teams will be needed to fill all the positions. With 128 FBS teams (Charlotte is not bowl eligible until 2016), 63% will play in the post-season. Next season, there could be 42 or even 43 post-season games. The NCAA certified a bowl game for Austin, Texas, but organizers opted to delay their start. A bowl in Little Rock, Arkansas was also in the plan-ning stages. A COMEBACK IN THE WORKSThe Rainbow Warriors open with a 2-5 record for the second straight year under Norm Chow, and in 2009 prior to 2014--finishing 4-9 (3-5 MW) last year, and 6-7 (3-5 WAC) in ‘09--the only previous seasons in the last 20 years. Looking to move a step closer to .500, UH has opened 3-5 only twice in the last 20 seasons, in 2005 and 1997, under coaches June Jones and Fred Von Appen, respectively. FIVE TO AVOID FIVEIn 2014, UH posted its fourth consecutive non-winning season and fifth in the last six seasons, a streak the Warriors hope to break in 2015, but will require a tight margin down the stretch, needing to win 5-of-6 of the remaining games, with two road contests on the slate. Hawai‘i’s last winning season occurred in 2010 (10-4) and the last time UH posted five straight non-winning seasons was from 1994-98. BOWL-BOUND COMPETITIONNobody said the schedule would make it easy to reach the winning record. Seven (7) of UH’s 13 opponents in 2015 made appearances last year in postseason play. All seven participated in FBS bowl games, with Ohio State earning two opportunities and the first-ever College Football Playoff title — Ohio State (Sugar, CFP National Championship), Wisconsin (Outback), Boise State (Vizio Fiesta), San Diego State (San Diego County CU Poinsettia), Nevada (R+L Carriers New Orleans), Air Force (Famous Idaho Potato) and Fresno State (Hawai‘i). TOUGH COMPETITION PROVEN ON THE FIELDSometimes using past performances for comparison can be a paper tiger, but UH’s five (5) losses have come at the hands of opponents who not only received preseason hype, but are a combined 25-10 on the sea-son, including No. 1/1 Ohio State at 7-0, former top-25 team Boise State at 5-2, former top-25 team Wisconsin at 5-2 and projected preseason leader and current MW West division leader San Diego State at 4-3 and 3-0 in MW play. Among those teams, BSU ranks 27th in total offense, followed by OSU (30th) and Wisconsin (65th), while in total defense BSU ranks 5th, ahead of UW (7th), OSU (19th) and SDSU (t-13th). BUCKING THE TREND OF ROAD WOESIn 2015, the Rainbow Warriors are struggling away from the confines of Aloha Stadium, and are 0-4 on the road, with a five-game (4) road losing streak on hand, dating back to the final contest of 2014. The Rainbow Warriors earned a road victory last season with a 13-0 win at San Jose State, snapping a 17-game road losing streak. Under coach Norm Chow, UH is 1-21 on the road, while the program is and 89-156-3 (.365) on the road, since first traveling in 1923, suffering the first

road loss, 14-7, at Cal Poly-Pomona. Affecting the balance in 2015 has been an offensive challenges away from the islands, wherein the Rainbow Warriors were shut out 121-0 through the first three trips, averaging 59 yards rushing and 138 yards passing per contest. In the recent road swing, UH put up 27 points on 195 yards passing and 220 yards rushing against UNM. RAISING THE AXEA new addition to game day is a piece of gear you’ll never find in just any equipment manager’s office. Beginning with the season opener versus Colorado, the lead Rainbow Warrior out of the tunnel raises a recreation of a shark-tooth Polynesian war axe as he brings the team out. The new piece of equipment will not only lead the team onto the field each game, but will also be awarded each week to the top special teams player by coordinator Jake Cookus. Along the blade--or toothline---”Special Teams Warrior” is carved along with the UH logo, and on one side of the handle is carved “Strike Hard”, “Light Em Up” on the other. After blocking a punt in the season opener, Keelan Ewaliko was awarded the honor and led the team out at Ohio State before a crowd of 107, 145 mostly scarlet-clad fans. Gaetano DeMattei bore the honor for the Rainbow Warriors vs. UC Davis, while Dejaun Butler let the train after blocking a punt for a touchdown against the Aggies. Freshman Noah Borden, most recently took up the honor in Boise after strong perfor-mances in getting to returners from his long-snapper position in only his second start. Most recently, the axe-carrying role was awarded to punter Rigoberto Sanchez against San Diego State, for his efforts in Boise. ADDING TO THE UNIFORM FANFAREIn 3-of-4 nationally televised games this season, the Rainbow Warriors have appeared in uniforms new to the 2015 campaign. Prior to the Colorado game, UH put out the new home uniforms, green and gray jersey with gray pants, both bearing a Polynesian inlaid pattern. Even more popular, UH released the retro “Rainbow” road uni-forms just days before the Ohio State contest. The official release web-page cleared 26,378 hits, while the youtube video topped 44,500, and over 13,000 social interactions followed on Twitter. UH again donned the “Rainbows” on ESPN2 vs. Boise State. Released on Monday, Oct. 19, UH ranked second on ESPN.com’s Most Memorable Uniforms at Midseason list, falling just behind Ohio State’s all-black alternates worn last week against Penn State. FACING THE ALMA MATERNow in his fourth season at Nevada as offensive coordinator, UH alum Nick Rolovich will meet his alma mater for the fourth time. In three consecutive meetings, Rolovich’s offenses have outpaced the Rainbow Warriors 26-18, 31-9 and 69-24, dating back to 2012. In the first outing, Rolovich may have had the inside track, recruiting and coaching many of the players on the UH roster as the offensive coordinator for two seasons under then-coach Greg McMackin in 2010 and 2011, serv-ing as quarterbacks coach from 2008-09. As a player, Rolovich was a quarterback for the Rainbow Warriors and holds several standing records in the UH record book:4Yards in two consecutive games: 1,048 (505 vs. Air Force, Nov. 24: 543 vs. BYU, Deco. 8, 2001)4Yards in three consecutive games: 1,548 (an additional 500 vs. Miami (Ohio), Nov. 17.)4Yard in four consecutive games: 1,806 (an additional 258 vs. Boise State, Nov. 10)4Most touchdowns in a quarter: 4 vs. BYU Dec. 8, 20014Most touchdowns in a game: 8 also vs. BYU Dec. 8, 2001 Playing from 2000-01 for UH, Rolovich started for much of the 2001 season, replacing an injured Timmy Chang and leading the team to an 8-1 record as a starter. During those nine games, “Rolo” threw for 3,361 yards and 34 touchdowns, ranking 10th nationally in passing efficiency with a 150.5 rating and broke 19-school passing and eight total offense records. He participated in the 2002 Hula Bowl and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. He finished his UH career completing 296-of-541 (54.7%) passes for 4,176 yards and 40 touchdowns. In 2001, Rolovich was teammates with current UH DB coach Abe Elimimian.

2015 Hawai‘i Football Weekly Release 7 HawaiiRainbowWarriorsFootball @HawaiiFootball HawaiiAthletics.com

OFFENSE NOTES HAWAI‘I VS. NEVADA (OCT. 24, 2015) THE HOT HANDMaking his first start since the final game of the 2014 season, junior Ikaika Woolsey led the Rainbow Warriors to its first opening drive score since the season opener, fitting well into a read option scheme and allowing UH to open up the running game at New Mexico. He threw for 195 yards on 13-of-25 passing, while running the ball for 13 yards as well. Under his guidance, the UH offense put up a sea-son second-best 415 yards of total offense, passing for the first TD since Sept. 19 vs. UC Davis. WITTEK STILL BATTLING FOR HIS POSITIONUnable to go in the New Mexico game due to accumulated injuries, quarterback Max Wittek remains a work in progress back to form, throwing for 179 yards and rushing for a score against San Diego St. After sitting out an entire season due to NCAA transfer rules, Wittek opened the season strong, leading UH to a season-opening win in his debut vs. Colorado, throwing for 202 yards, three (3) TDs. With the three passing scores, hitting Quiton Pedroza, Marcus Kemp and Isaiah Bernard, Wittek became the first UH signal caller in 30 years to pass for three scores in his debut—the last, Greg Tipton vs Kansas on Aug. 31, 1985. However, Wittek ran up against the buzzsaw of three top-25 defenses, which limited both the offense and his individual performances. The ‘Bows offensive stuggles have shown on the score-board, and Wittek took some hits. Whether Wittek or Woolsey taking snaps, UH looks to put up some offensive yardage, as Nevada gives 234.9 yds. passing (80th NCAA), and 190.7 yds. rushing (93rd), ranking 91st in total defense. YOUNG WIDEOUTS STEPPING UP TO THE PRESSUREAs anyone would expect, after seven consecutive weeks, four on the road with 30,000 miles trav-eled, while facing three top-25 defenses, UH is a little bruised and dinged up. The majority of recep-tions this season have gone to Marcus Kemp (20) and Quinton Pedroza (19), who have amassed 541 combined yards--meaning they’ve also combined to take the most hits this year as well. Starting last week, UH went with a youth movement in the receiving corps, starting redshirt fresh-man Devan Stubblefield and transfer Isaiah Bernard, in his first start, on the outside. Already the leading candidate for youthful talent, freshman starting slot Dylan Collie, younger brother of longtime NFL slotback Austin Collie, made his case even stronger at UNM, catching seven (7) passes for a team-leading 113 yards...both career highs. So far Collie has amassed a team-best 21 catches for a second-best 276 yards. Stubblefield has nine (9) catches for 113 yards, while Bernard has 145 yards on 11 grabs. Both have snagged a catch for a score. RE-ESTABLISHING THE GROUND GAMEUH started with a balance against Colorado, and 100 yards on the ground. However, in big games that followed, the ‘Bows faltered, producing 80 at Ohio State, 15 at Wisconsin, 82 at Boise State and 53 vs. San Diego State. UH got back to the balance last weekend at New Mexico, tag-teaming the Lobos with Paul Harris (125 yds.) and Steven Lakalaka (85 yds.), combining for 220 yards of team rushing.

2015 Hawai‘i Football Weekly Release 10 HawaiiRainbowWarriorsFootball @HawaiiFootball HawaiiAthletics.com

DEFENSE NOTES HAWAI‘I VS. NEVADA (OCT. 24, 2015) CONTROLLING THE PASSING GAME Prior to meeting the 24th-ranked Boise State passing offense, which included a fake fumble for a passing touchdown, the Rainbow Warriors had only allowed three passing TDs on the year, mak-ing a complete no-fly zone after two games. BSU’s balanced offense put up three scores. Before BSU, UH had been successful against strong offensive teams, including interrupting an Ohio State passing score streak (24 games) dating to the 2013 season. The Warriors cut OSU short at 24 games, and held Colorado to only 156 yards passing while snapping a 20-game streak for Buffs QB Sefo Liufau--a career-first no passing TD day. Prior to BSU, UH ranked fourth in the MW standings and 40th in the NCAA in passing defense. Now the ‘Bows are seventh in the MW and 43rd in NCAA, holding 5-of-7 opponents under 200 yards with an average of 202.4 against after limiting SDSU to 184 yards and UNM to 195 by air. NELSON V. THE NATIONCB Nick Nelson is a proven commodity this season and looks to remain steady with a strong cover game at Nevada. Making a team fifth-best 32 tackles, Nelson has broken up 10 passes; a mark which ranks him second in a close see-saw battle for the Mountain West lead, tying for 17th in the NCAA. UPFIELD PUSHLast season, the Rainbow Warriors logged 24 total sacks for 1.8 sacks per game along with 5.4 TFL average. With first-year defensive coordinator Tom Mason’s aggressive scheme–70-percent average blitz rate over a 37-year career–UH has tallied eight (8) sacks and 32 TFL through six (6) contests. Replacing three starters, the three-man front has been a solid foundation, accruing 120 tackles with 4.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries through the first seven games, producing 17.1 tackles per game. Defensive end Kennedy Tulimasealii came up big against Ohio State, jamming the tackles to aid the linebackers, with 2 tackles, 2 hurries and a sack, but he went even bigger against Wisconsin, grabbing 8 tackles and a huge third quarter sack. Also coming on strong of late, Kory Rasmussen has moved into the starting role at nose tackle, collecting a career-best eight (8) tackles in Boise. EVERYWHERE YOU TURNThrough seven weeks of action, the Rainbow Warrior defense has only had one repeat performer for leading tackler, an indicator of the stopping talent available on the unit. After seven games, six different players have enjoyed double-digit tackling. The latest power-hitter was linebacker Julian Gener, who led the team with 19 stops, the most in the conference this season. Linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams and safety Marrell Jackson have repeated in double-digits. Kory Rasmussen went big in his second start, collecting eight at BSU. For his efforts vs. UC Davis, Garcia-Williams was MW Defensive Player of the Week after a career-best 15 tackles, making nine at BSU. Garcia-Williams ties for fifth in MW total tackles (77th NCAA), ranking fifth (t) in MW solo tackles (59th nationally). Luke Shawley (DE), Nick Nelson (CB) and Benny Fonua (LB) also have double-digit stops. THIRD QUARTER HEROESUH’s defense has come with strong adjustments in the third quarter, allowing only 23 points through six contests, including only a field goal in the third against Boise State and zero vs. SDSU.

2015 Hawai‘i Football Weekly Release 13 HawaiiRainbowWarriorsFootball @HawaiiFootball HawaiiAthletics.com

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES HAWAI‘I VS. NEVADA (OCT. 24, 2015) SANCHEZ A CONSTANT FOR THE ‘BOWS First-year punter/placekicker Rigoberto Sanchez opened up with a solid start to his UH career, earning special teams MVP for his role in the 28-20 season-opening win over Colorado, largely grow-ing more consistent each outing. Against CU, Sanchez opened his placekicking career with a first half 27-yarder down the middle and hit from 34 later in the game. This year, he has made 6-of-8 (4th MW)overall, missing from 49, and most recently, the right hash 22-yarder that could’ve sealed off UNM. Sanchez has firmly secured the punting job, averaging a MW third-best 44.7 YPP on 44 kicks. Versus SDSU, he dropped in 6-of-8 for over 50 yards, making three (3) for a 44.3 average at UNM. Sanchez has only really recorded a single bad punt, of only 18 yards in the first kick at Ohio State--in front of over 107,000 people. Sanchez quickly regrouped and sailed his second punt for 52 yards, pinning OSU at their own 23. His 22-yarder vs. SDSU was the product of a short field pooch. Sanchez got plenty of work against the Buckeyes and largely maintained his consistency. He boot-ed eight (8) punts for 289 yards and a 36.1 average, docked a few yards for the bad kick early. He has extended his best distance, currently reaching 58 yards at Wisconsin--46.9 avg. that date. Against Boise State, Sanchez kicked four punts over 50 yards and helped to back the Broncos up, averaging 47.2 yards on 8 punts. Against SDSU, the average was steady at 47.9 YPP. SANCHEZ A SELECT TYPE OF KICKERIn 2015, Rigoberto Sanchez falls into the “old-school” category of kickers, as one of only five (5) in the nation who handle both punting and PK duties for their teams. Also on that list are Austin Rehkow (Idaho), Lumi Kabia (Texas St.), Dalton Parks (Tulsa) and Alex Howell (Boston College). Against SDSU and UNM, he added kickoffs to his repertoire, standing in for an ill Mauro Bondi, averaging 63.2 yards on 9 kicks. LOOKING FOR THE DEEP BALLGraduate transfer Mauro Bondi arrived on Mānoa after three seasons as a kickoff specialist at Nebraska, collecting touchbacks on 63-of-111 kickoffs. In 2015, Bondi has sent 6-of-17 kicks for TB. On Sept. 19 vs. UC Davis, Bondi defintely had a work-out, as UH put up seven (7) scores. He made 3-of-9 touchbacks and averaged 64.2 yards per kick on the day. Bondi also put away three (3) touchbacks in the season-opening win over Colorado. PROTECTING OUR OWNUH has done well protecting Sanchez on punts. Blocking eight (8) in the same span, UH hasn’t allowed a punt to be blocked since Dec. 24, 2008, an 84-game streak and the second-longest in DI FBS. Upstart defender Dejaun Butler added to the UH total vs. UC Davis to up the anty, batting down Colby Wadman’s fourth quarter punt, plus a scoop-and-score to put UH ahead 40-17. Keelan Ewaliko made the first of 2015, setting up the first UH touchdown of the year by blocking Colorado’s first punt deep in their own territory. LOOKING FOR A HOUSE CALLThe Rainbow Warriors have not just one, but two men who are a threat to take one to the house on the return if opportunities are presented. Forced to play without either vs. SDSU, both are back for Nevada. Through six games, late addition transfer Paul Harris averages 17.2 yards on 8 returns; his longest cur-rently at 25. Harris was a JUCO All-American kick returner at 35.1 YPR on 20 returns and 3 TDs last season. Keelan Ewaliko brought the Aloha Stadium crowd to its feet vs. UCD, bringing one all the way back to the UC Davis 2-yard line. However, video replay determined he edged the sideline a little bit too close--trimmed back from 98 yards to 65. He led the team in 2014 and now is putting up 24.0 YPR on 6 returns.

HAWAI‘I COACHING STAFF HAWAI‘I VS. NEVADA (OCT. 24, 2015)

NORM CHOWHead Coach4th SeasonOverall Record: 10-34MW Record: 4-23

Entering his fourth season at the helm of the University of Hawai‘i football team, Norm Chow has brought name

recognition to the Rainbow Warriors and, with it, an influx of nationally ranked prospects and transfers to the Mānoa campus.

During his tenure, Chow has managed to lure a number of top-level talents to play for the Green and White, including ESPN 300 recruits and Power 5 conference transfers, among them former Southern California quarterback Max Wittek, who is slated to start the 2015 season under center; highly recruited defensive lineman Kennedy Tulimasealii out of Wai‘anae High School; and former Elite 11 quarter-back Aaron Zwahlen, who returns from a two-year church mission. Considered one of the top offensive minds in football, Chow has instilled discipline and a pro-style offensive scheme to the Rainbow Warrior program, who in 2015, will be seeking their first winning season

and bowl appearance in five years. The Punahou School alum and Palolo Valley native has undoubtedly his most talented squad since being named the program’s 22nd head coach on Dec. 22, 2011, suc-ceeding Greg McMackin, who retired after four seasons. When Chow took over the Hawai‘i pro-gram, he was the first Asian-American head coach of a major college football school. His coaching resume includes some 40 years of experience collegiately and in the National Football League. As a collegiate coach, Chow spent 27 years at BYU, one year at North Carolina State, four years at USC, three years at UCLA and one year at his alma mater, Utah, before spending the past three seasons at Hawai‘i. Chow also coached three years with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans as offensive coordinator. Prior to his arrival in Mānoa, Chow was the offensive coordinator at Utah, where he led the Utes to a runner-up finish in the Pac-12 South Division in 2011 and a 30-27 vic-tory over Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. Known as an offensive mastermind, success has followed Chow where ever he’s been. A three-time national Assistant Coach of the Year, Chow has served as offensive coordinator for three national championship teams (Brigham Young-1984 and USC-2003 and ’04) and has tutored three Heisman Trophy winners (Ty Detmer-BYU, Carson Palmer-USC and Matt Leinart-USC) and six NFL first-round draft picks (Palmer, Leinart, Philip Rivers-N.C. State, Steve Young-BYU, Jim McMahon-BYU and Marc Wilson-BYU). Chow began his coaching career as head coach at Waialua High School on the North Shore of O‘ahu from 1970-72. He then began a 27-year stint at BYU, where he served in a variety of positions, including assistant head coach, offensive coordinator, co-offensive coordinator, quar-terbacks coach, receivers coach and recruit-ing coordinator. Working under legendary head coach LaVell Edwards, Chow called the offensive plays at BYU from 1982-99.

During his tenure at BYU, the Cougars posted a 244-91-3 record and appeared in 23 bowl games, and he coached 21 offensive players who earned All-America honors. Brigham Young ranked in the nation’s Top 10 in total offense in 12 of Chow’s 18 years as offensive coordinator. Chow then spent one year as offensive coordina-tor at North Carolina State in 2000, where he coached NFL first-round draft pick Philip Rivers to Freshman All-America honors before moving to USC, where he was part of two national championship teams in four seasons and coached Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. Palmer, the first overall pick of the 2003 NFL Draft, left the school as the Pac-10’s career leader in passing yards and total offense. Leinart was a two-time first team All-American who was also named Walter Camp Player of the Year in 2004. After a successful stint at USC, Chow then took his talents to the NFL as the offensive coordinator at Tennessee where he tutored quarterback Vince Young and helped the Titans earn a spot in the NFL playoffs and finish the regular season with a record of 10-6. In 2006, Young, a rookie quarterback from Texas, took over the offense during the fourth week of the season. He led the team to an 8-5 record, earned Rookie of the Year honors (only the second quarterback to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year) and became the first rookie quarterback to play in the Pro Bowl. In 2005, Chow adapted to the pro game with ease despite an offense that relied on a youthful cast of players and encountered numerous injuries. Tennessee ranked ninth in the NFL in passing and 17th overall in offense. The group of rookie receiv-ers (WR Brandon Jones, WR Roydell Williams, WR Courtney Roby and TE Bo Scaife) became the first quartet of rookie receivers since the 1968 Buffalo Bills to each record at least 20 receptions in a season. Scaife would also establish a new rookie tight-end franchise mark with 37 receptions. Chow moved back to the collegiate ranks as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UCLA for three seasons before becoming offensive coordinator and tight-ends coach at Utah at the start of the 2011 season. At UCLA, Kevin Prince enjoyed one of the top seasons ever by a Bruin freshman quarterback, rank-ing second in pass completions, passing yards and total offense. In 2008, quarterback Kevin Craft com-pleted 232 passes, the second-highest total in school history. Chow, the recipient of the 2002 Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach, has coached eight of the top 14 NCAA career passing efficiency leaders and 13 of the top 30 single-season passing yardage leaders. Chow has also received National Assistant Coach of the Year honors by the American Football Foundation in 1999 and Athlon in 1993, and was named NCAA Division I-A Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Monthly in 1996 and 2002.

1 2 3 4 OT FinalColorado (0-1) 0 14 3 3 - 20>>Hawai‘i (1-0) 8 10 7 3 - 28

HONOLULU – As storms passed over Hawaiian Airline Field at Aloha Stadium, the University of Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors (1-0, 0-0) were able to weather their own storm and last-second charge Colorado and their rushing attack, topping the Buffs 28-20, on Thursday night, in a nationally televised game. The Warrior defense forced a completed pass short of the first down marker as time ran out on the Buffs, who drove deep into Hawai’i territory seeking the tying score. The team earned its first win of the year, while USC transfer quarterback Max Wittek earned his first win as a starter and threw for his first three touchdowns. Defensive end Luke Shawley recorded his first career sack and led UH with 14 tackles while kicker Rigoberto Sanchez converted on both of his two field goals, averaging 44.4 yards on 10 punts. Wittek finished the game 19-of-38 for 202 yards and three scores. He threw an incendiary 79-yard touchdown strike to Marcus Kemp over the middle, giving UH a 15-7 second quarter lead. Running back Paul Harris finished the game with 68 yards rushing on 17 carries in his UH debut. It was a truly strong performance for the Hawai’i defense and they proved their worth holding off the Buffs time and time again, forcing three turnovers, including a pick by Julian Gener. The game or season could not have started any better for the Warriors as they stopped CU on its first drive. On the ensuing punt attempt, Keelan Ewaliko blocked and recovered it setting up UH’s first score, as Wittek found receiver Quinton Pedroza in the corner of the endzone. The duo hooked up again for a surprise two-point conversion, giving the Warriors an 8-0 lead. Quick strike offensive touchdowns marked the first half. The first two scoring drives for the Warriors took a combined 2:10, spanned 100 yards, and took only six plays. While the Buffaloes’ first touchdown drive was also three plays, spanned 44 seconds, and was capped off by a Michael Adkins 5-yard rushing touchdown. The Warriors countered with a 27-yard field goal by Rigoberto Sanchez, his first career field goal and took an 18-14 lead into halftime. The third quarter mirrored much of the first quarter as the two teams combined for a total of 146 yards of offense. Fortunately for the Warriors, they were able to extend their lead to 25-17 as Wittek found Isaiah Bernard on a 1-yard touchdown reception, his first as a Warrior. As a myriad of offensive opportunities were squandered by both teams in the fourth quarter, the defenses continued to dictate the game. Sanchez’s second field goal of the game extended UH’s lead to 28-17. As the half continued to wind down the Buffaloes mounted a 42-yard scoring drive coming away with three points and closing the margin to 28-20. The Warriors stalled on their final drive, allowing the Buffaloes one last chance to send the game into overtime. The Buffs started the drive on their own 39-yard line with 2:03 left and drove to the UH 6. Quarterback Sefo Liufau threw a short pass into the flat, however without a timeout remaining, the Buffs could not line up for one last play, allowing time to expire and UH to capture its first season-opening victory of the Norm Chow era.

COLUMBUS – The University of Hawai’i Rainbow Warrior football team delivered a solid effort against defending national champion and concensus No.1 Ohio State, but the Buckeyes proved too much to contain, handing UH its first loss of the season, 38-0 on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

Despite the scoreline, the Hawai’i (1-1) defense featured a handful of strong individual performances including Benetton Fonua’s team-leading 12 tackles with Marrell Jackson adding 11 of his own. The defense would also force two fumbles by the OSU (2-0) offense.

The ‘Bows showed promise early in the first quarter on both sides of the ball, posting a 36-yard open-ing drive and holding the Buckeyes scoreless until the 3:25 mark. Max Wittek hooked up with Dylan Collie for a 29-yard gain on the first play of the game. Wittek finished the game completing 7-of-24 passes, totaling 67 yards. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones completed 12-of-18 passes for 111 yards, while splitting time under center with sophomore J.T. Barrett who threw for 70 yards and completed 8-of-15 passes. Hawai’i struggled throughout the second quarter, allowing the Buckeyes’ second touchdown at the 4:04 mark after a nine-play drive. The ‘Bows had a chance to spark a comeback near the end of the first half until Wittek threw his second interception of the quarter, sending the ‘Bows to the locker room down 14-0. The Rainbow Warriors posted their third turnover after a Wittek sack-fumble on the UH six yard line, and though the ‘Bows were able to avoid an Ohio State touchdown with a goal-line stand, the Buckeyes would go up 17-0 early in the third quarter after a successful field goal attempt.

Elliott would once again prove to be the Buckeyes’ go-to man, as Ohio State’s opening 17-play fourth quarter drive would culminate in the junior’s third rushing touchdown of the game, giving OSU the 24-0 advantage. The Buckeyes took advantage of Hawai’i’s mistakes after a fumbled UH exchange resulted in a touchdown return for Ohio State and a 31-0 lead. In a span of less than two minutes, the home team would again get into the endzone and complete the scoring.

The Rainbow Warriors’ 85 passing yards marked the first time that Hawai’i has been held to under 100 yards in 231 consecutive games. The Buckeyes finished with a 363-165 yardage advantage.

1 2 3 4 OT FinalUC Davis (0-3) 3 7 0 17 - 27>>Hawai‘i (2-1) 3 10 13 21 - 47

HONOLULU— Big plays were the name of the game for the University of Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors as they catapulted themselves past UC Davis 47-27, Saturday, in a non-conference match-up at Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium. Defense kept UH in the game early, taking a 13-10 lead into halftime. Once the second half came around the ‘Bows exploded for 34 points on numerous big plays including a 95-yard touchdown run by Paul Harris, a punt block and return for a touchdown. QB Max Wittek unleashed a sorely needed aerial assault, going 17-of-24 for 274 yards and two touchdowns. Marcus Kemp (119) and Devan Stubblefield (108) both went over 100 yards receiving. Harris matched the gaudy WR stats, gaining 147 yards on just 11 carries, with a touchdown. The defense was lead by linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams. posting a career-high 15 total tackles and DE Kennedy Tulimasealii caused fits for the Aggies with a pair of tackles for loss and a QB hurry. Ben Scott led UCD, going 18-of-35 for 233 yards and two touchdowns. WR Chris Martin was his go-to target nabbing four catches for 123 yards and a score. Rigoberto Sanchez booked a pair of field goals for UH’s first two scores, including a career-long 46-yarder which gave the Warriors a 6-3 lead. UC Davis responded with 12-play, 75-yard drive as Scott found fullback Derek Baljou for an 8-yard score – the first passing TD allowed by UH this year.The response by the Warriors was immediate — Keelan Ewaliko returned the ensuing kickoff 65 yards setting up a Wittek-to-Stubblefield score from 14-yards out and a 13-10 lead. Harris took a handoff and broke it off to the outside, blazing his way to the record and a 20-10 lead, rushing for a school record tying for the second longest in Mountain West history. In the third, Nick Nelson forced a fumble recovered by Marrell Jackson. Mixing run and pass plays, UH marched down the field, punching in Melvin Davis’ 1-yard blast, for the 26-10 lead. Momentum carried UH into the fourth as WRs Kemp and Stubblefield put on a pass catching clinic. The ‘Bows bust the game open as Kemp broke open the 33-10 lead. The final nail in the coffin came as the ‘Bows special teams stepped up once again with Butler’s blocked, scoop and score, increasing the lead to 47-17.

1 2 3 4 OT FinalHawai‘i (2-2) 0 0 0 0 - 0>>#22 Wisconsin (3-1) 7 7 7 7 - 28

MADISON –Just as in its last match-up with a Big Ten opponent, the University of Hawai ‘i defense put it all on the line to contain a dangerous offensive attack from Wisconsin on the road. The offense was in striking distance, but was unable to reach the scoreboard pulling away to a 28-0 win in the fourth quarter.

The Badgers put their power running game on display early, as the tandem of Taiwan Deal and Dare Ogunbowale tag-teamed the Rainbow Warriors, with UW running the ball on 13 of the 16 plays on the opening scoring drive—the first team to score on their opening drive against UH this season.

As the clock wound down in the first half, Wisconsin marched 73 yards on nine plays to double-up their the margin, capping off the drive with a two-yard Deal rush, pushing his individual totals to 102 yards (of his 147-yard total), his second touchdown and the Badgers advantage to 14-0 at the half. Deal is only the second rusher to go over the century mark against UH this season.

The ’Bows first reached scoring range in the third quarter, using a 51-yard flea-flicker pass from wideout Makoa Camanse-Stevens to Paul Harris, who drove down the left sideline for a first down at the UW 13-yard line. Four penalties, including an overturned UW targeting call, turned against the Rainbow Warriors, forcing a career-long 49-yard field by Rigoberto Sanchez, which had the distance, but tailed just left as it approached the goalpost and fell wide for Sanchez’ first career miss.

With UW driving for the first time in the second half, mixing passes and runs to go 80 yards, finishing off the series with a completion from quarterback Joel Stave to untouched tight end Austin Traylor five yards deep in the endzone, pushing UW ahead 21-0.

The ’Bows came out firing with a 60-yard drive which included four completions to Quinton Pedroza to exceed his career highs in both receptions and yards, but UH came up short on the drive, as safety Michael Caputo batted down a Max Wittek pass to Isaiah Bernard on 4th-and 3 at the UW 33-yard line The Badgers tacked on another score in the fourth quarter to build the lead to the final line of 28-0.

Offensively, the ’Bows stumbled in the running game, producing 15 yards on 18 carries. However, the passing game made up the difference, with UH putting up 240 yards in the air, as Wittek completed 15-of-32 passes for 189 yards, zeroing in on Pedroza for career bests of 134 yards on 10 recep-tions—the most receiving yards for UH since the 2013 season.

Harris carried the ball six times for 22 yards and made the 51-yard reception.

Safety Marrell Jackson recorded a career-high 10 tackles to top the defense. For the second con-secutive week, linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams put up double digits, tallying 10 stops (six solo). Linebacker Benetton Fonua came away with nine total tackles, while defensive end Kennedy Tulimasealii was huge in the second half, making eight stops including a big sack in the third quarter.

GAME 5 • Oct. 3, 2015ALBERTSONS STADIUM (35,907) Boise, Idaho

1 2 3 4 OT FinalHawai‘i (2-3, 0-1) 0 0 0 0 - 0>>Boise St. (4-1, 1-0) 14 35 3 3 - 55

BOISE— The University of Hawai’i football team dropped its second consecutive road contest and fell to 0-1 in Mountain West play on Saturday, as Boise State cut loose offensively to a 55-0 final score in the conference opener for both teams.

Although the Rainbow Warriors stopped the Bronco offense on the opening drive, Boise State was quick to get their offense rolling, as quarterback Brett Rypien connected on his first passing attempt of the night, finding Chaz Anderson behind the coverage on the second series for a 54-yard strike and the 7-0 Boise State lead only 3:32 into the first quarter, the earliest a team has scored on the Rainbow Warriors this season.

The Broncos quickly followed with a second strike, driving 65 yards and capping off the series with a 13-yard sweep by Jeremy McNichols, becoming also the first to score twice in the first quarter against UH this season.

A third score came in the opening seconds of the second quarter, as receiver Thomas Sperbeck reeled in a Rypien pass with a spectacular fingertips catch out of the back of the endzone. A fake-fumble trick play followed on the next possession for 24-yard Huff TD reception and a 28-0 BSU lead.

After UH forced a three-and-out on the ensuing possession, the Broncos fired off three consecutive scoring possessions on a 10-yard run by Akilian Butler, a 9-yard run by Kelsey Young and a McNichols 15-yard rush after Boise State spiked the ball with seconds remaining, extending the halftime advan-tage to 49-0—matching the 2004 game a Fresno State for largest halftime deficit.

The 35 second quarter points by Boise State was the most in a quarter since the Broncos put up 38 during the 2004 season. In the second half, the Rainbow Warrior defense regrouped, twice holding the Broncos to field goals in the red zone, limiting the second half scoring to only 6 points.

The offense was unable to find traction in either half and starter Max Wittek left the game before half with 66 yards on 7-of-24 passing, gaining 13 yards on 3 rushes, with his net yards set back by a BSU sack. Ikaika Woolsey relieved Wittek in the second half in his most significant action this season, completing 4-of-22 for 22 yards, while rushing for 16 on 3 carries.

On the ground, UH logged 82 yards by seven rushers, led by Steven Lakalaka, who picked up 34 yards on 8 carries. Defensively, linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams topped UH with 9 tackles, including one for loss, while nose tackle Kory Rasmussen registered 8 stops. In total, UH made 5 tackles for loss.

HONOLULU— For the University of Hawai’i, a few missed opportunities at key times and a solid rush-ing attack by San Diego State led to the Rainbow Warriors first home loss of the season, 28-14, Saturday night in front of a Homecoming crowd of 25,643 at Hawaiian Airlines field at Aloha Stadium. The loss marked UH’s fourth straight Homecoming defeat and dropped the Warriors to 0-2 in Mountain West play. A usually stout Hawai’i (2-4, 0-2) rush defense was caught off guard as the Aztecs (3-3, 2-0 MW) ran for 218 yards on the ground and posted 402 yards of total offense. The Aztecs forced three turnovers and controlled the clock for 36 minutes compared to 23 for the Warriors. SDSU’s shifty running back Donnel Pumphrey rushed for a game-high 148 yards on 30 carries and three touchdowns. He scampered 34 yards for a touchdown on the Aztec’s opening possession and scored from 8-yards out following a UH turnover to give SDSU a 14-0 lead just six minutes into the game. The second quarter started dramatically different for the Warriors as quarterback Max Wittek found receiver Isaiah Bernard for a 52-yard pass as he streaked down the right sideline to the SDSU 4-yard line. Running back Melvin Davis was the beneficiary of the quick strike offense as he pounded the ball in from 1-yard out. The touchdown ended a nine-quarter scoring drought for the Warriors. Ahead 14-7 late in the half, the Aztecs would score once more with a well-timed play action pass that caught Hawai’i off guard as quarterback Max Smith delivered the pass to receiver Eric Judge for a 58-yard touchdown. Just as SDSU had turned a Warriors fumble in the first quarter into a score, UH capitalized on an Aztec’s miscue capped by Wittek’s one-year touchdown run pulling the Warriors to within seven at 21-14, midway through the third quarter. But after Wittek was forced out of the game due to injury, the Aztecs pushed their lead back to 14 with Pumphrey’s third score. UH’s offense managed only 251 yards with Wittek accounting for 179 yards passing and Davis rum-bling for 52 yards and a score. The ‘Bows defensive stat line was spearheaded by linebacker Julian Gener who had a career-high 19 total tackles with one for loss and linebackers Jerrol Garcia-Williams and Simon Poti who combined for 17 tackles.

GAME 7 • Oct. 17 2015UNIVERSITY STADIUM (20,541) Albuquerque, N.M.

1 2 3 4 OT FinalHawai‘i (2-5, 0-3) 10 14 0 3 - 27>>New Mexico (4-3, 2-1) 7 7 7 7 - 28

ALBUQUERQUE – Despite having a 100-yard rusher, 100-yard receiver and nearly a 200-yard passer, the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team fell victim to a fourth quarter comeback by the New Mexico Lobos in the closing moments of Saturday’s conference tilt. The Hawai‘i offense went to work quickly after receiving the opening kickoff, grinding out a 13-play drive under the direction of Ikaika Woolsey. Making his first start of the season, Woolsey engi-neered a UH scoring drive that consumed 4:40 on the clock for the first road score of the season and first opening-drive TD since Colorado, as Paul Harris barreled into the endzone from the 1-yard line. The celebration for the Rainbow Warriors was short-lived, as UNM kick returner Carlos Wiggins carved through the right side of the coverage, going 100 yards for the touchdown, tying the score on the first return TD since the opening game of head coach Norm Chow’s inaugural season in 2012. On their next drive, the Lobos drove the field 88 yards where they were stopped twice inside the 3-yard line, but Kennedy Tulimasealii made the ultimate stop on third down, stripping the handoff exchange from quarterback Lamar Jordan, jumping on the fumble to send the ball the other way. The offense was able to capitalize, as Rigoberto Sanchez split the uprights for a 10-7 lead on a career-long 49-yarder—the longest since Tyler Hadden hit one from 49 in 2012. Making the most of their power-rushing triple option attack, the Lobos reclaimed the lead on a 17-play, 82-yard drive, culminating in a 2-yard run by Jhurell Pressley. The UNM lead evaporated quickly, as Woolsey made the play of the drive, scrambling just shy of the line of scrimmage before spotting Dylan Collie downfield, throwing a strike on the run for 46 yards to the Lobos’ 3-yard line—setting up a second 1-yard touchdown for Harris behind the Rainbow Warriors’ jumbo package. First-time starter Dany Mulanga stripped receiver Chris Davis at the Hawaii 46, setting up a 54-yard drive for UH, capped by an over-the-top pass from Woolsey to push Collie over the century mark on a 27-yard touchdown, and UH to 24-14 advantage.UNM trimmed the deficit just over eight minutes into the second half after getting the ball via a Lee Crosby interception, as L. Jordan surmounted an impending UH stop on third down, finding David Anaya open in the endzone and making the Rainbow Warrior lead only three points. Held scoreless in the third quarter, UH scored again early in the fourth, as Sanchez added a 47-yard field goal from the right hash mark to push UH ahead 27-21.With 8:27 remaining, UH ran the clock and the football, working down to the UNM 5-yard line, with rushes on 11-of-12 plays. A UNM stop on third down set up a missed Sanchez 22-yard field goal—a play that saw a flag thrown for leaping the center, which was later withdrawn after a field conference.UH’s defense stood tall the majority of the fourth, stopping UNM on three consecutive drives, a per-sonnel change did not work in their favor. UNM called up Austin Apodoca from the bench to change offenses from the triple option to a spread attack with only 2:14 to go, and a six-point UH lead.Apodoca completed 4-of-5 passes with receivers stepping out of bounds to the drive’s final play, find-ing Dameon Gamblin in the endzone for a touchdown, while taking a big hit on the throw. After Zack Rogers’ successful extra point, the Rainbow Warriors trailed 28-27, with 55 seconds on the clock.
