In a midnight ET kickoff in Honolulu, San Jose State defeated Hawaii 20-16, extending their winning streak against the Rainbow Warriors to six games.

His quarterback, Luke Weaver, threw two touchdowns and completed 19-of-28 passes for 246 yards. Despite Micah Alejado throwing for 338 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, Hawaii struggled to score consistently against San Jose State's defense.
