The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors raced to a 34-13 victory over the Nevada Wolf Pack in a sprightly Homecoming game at the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex. Led by a commanding performance from quarterback Brayden Schager, Hawaii snapped a three-game losing streak and notched their first conference win of the season with a powerful ground attack, amassing 242 rushing yards and breaking the 200-yard mark for the first time in nearly two years. Schager's prowess was matched by a stout defense that turned back Nevada on multiple pivotal fourth-down attempts.
Schager's outstanding effort included a career-high 120 rushing yards and four touchdowns, matching a program record for quarterbacks. His aerial game also contributed 153 passing yards. Although the Wolf Pack attempted a rally with Chubba Purdy's deep strikes, including a 63-yard touchdown to Marcus Bellon, the Rainbow Warriors' defense held firm. Key defensive plays and consistent scoring from kicker Kansei Matsuzawa further cemented Hawaii's control over the game.
