San Diego State triumphed over Hawaii with a nail-biting 27-24 victory in the Mountain West opener at Snapdragon Stadium. Marquez Cooper was a standout for the Aztecs, rushing for 109 yards and two touchdowns, including the decisive score in the fourth quarter, which snapped a three-game losing streak for SDSU. The Aztecs now boast a fifth consecutive win against the Rainbow Warriors.
Hawaii, led by quarterback Brayden Schager, who threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, mounted a late comeback, seizing a brief lead in the fourth quarter. Despite Schager's efforts and connecting with Nick Cenacle for a 23-yard go-ahead touchdown, Hawaii couldn't overcome SDSU's resilient defense. Trey White's critical sacks of Schager in the final minutes stifled Hawaii's comeback attempt. SDSU rookie quarterback Danny O'Neil also impressed, completing 24 of 33 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown, maintaining his perfect interception-free record.
