The University of Hawaii football team faced a tough loss to Boise State, but didn’t have much time to recover emotionally or physically as they prepared to take on Washington State in Pullman for the first time. Impact players like safety Peter Manuma and receivers Pofele Ashlock and Dekel Crowdus were unable to play in the game.
Ashlock, who has been a key player for quarterback Brayden Schager, was sorely missed. Despite missing key players, Hawaii managed to take an early lead with a 25-yard field goal in the first quarter. The Rainbow Warrior defense fought hard and forced a turnover on downs to maintain their lead.
Washington State struggled to move the ball against a determined Hawaii defense, even after getting a second chance on fourth-and-2. Hawaii’s Jamih Otis provided excellent coverage on kickoff, leading to a challenging field position for Washington State to start their first possession.
As the game progressed, it was clear that Hawaii was facing a tough opponent without some of their top players. Despite the challenges, Hawaii’s defense put up a strong fight against Washington State. The ‘Bows wore black helmets, white jerseys, and black pants for the game. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting matchup between Hawaii and Washington State.
