HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i football team saw its Homecoming game win streak come to an end in a 35-23 loss to New Mexico Saturday night at Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium.
 
The Warriors (1-5, 0-3 Mountain West) dropped their fourth straight contest and are off to a 1-5 start for just the first time since 2000. UH also lost its Homecoming game for the first time since losing to Boise State in 2001 after 10 consecutive wins.
 
UH amassed a season-high 391 yards of total offense, including career-highs for quarterback Sean Schroeder (292 passing yards) and running back Will Gregory (99 rushing yards).
 
On the flip side, the Lobos (4-3, 1-1) which entered the game as the nation's eighth-ranked rushing team, tallied 452 total yards, including 332 yards on the ground. Running back Kasey Carrier rushed for 161 yards and two scores while back-up quarterback Cole Gautsche rushed for 104 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
 
New Mexico raced out to a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter, tallying 187 yards on its first three drives. Meanwhile, the Warrior offense struggled to get positive yardage with just five total yards through the first quarter.
 
UH finally got the offense going on its third possession, as Gregory burst for 32 and 36 yards rushes. However, the drive stalled after a costly clipping penalty and Tyler Hadden missed from 39 yards out.
 
After a Lobo punt, Hawai'i got on the scoreboard midway through the second quarter as Schroeder completed all four passes in the drive including a 51-yard touchdown to Scott Harding. The Warrior defense forced a three-and-out and Schroeder directed an 11-play drive capped by a career-long 49-yard field goal by Hadden just before the end of the half.
 
On the Warriors' opening possession of the second half, the drive stalled at the 5-yard line as Gregory was stopped on a fourth and goal. On UNM's ensuing drive, Gautsche's keeper went 76 yards for a touchdown and a 28-10 Lobo lead.
 
The Warriors answered right back. Edwards redeemed himself from an earlier fumble and received the kickoff five yards deep in the endzone and took it to the house marking his second touchdown of the season.
 
UH closed to within 28-23 with 9:49 left in the fourth quarter after Lister's one yard touchdown run. But the Lobos put away the game with a nearly 10 minute drive and Holbrook's 5-yard touchdown run.
The Warriors have the next week off before playing the first of two consecutive road games at Colorado State, Oct. 27 in Fort Collins, Colo.
