SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The University of Hawai'i Warrior football team dropped its third straight contest with a 52-14 loss to San Diego State in a Mountain West contest Saturday night at Qualcomm Stadium.
 
Playing on the road for the second straight week, the Warriors (1-4, 0-2 MWC) got off to a slow start and couldn't recover. The Aztecs (3-3, 1-1 MWC) scored the game's first three touchdowns and took a 35-7 lead into the locker room in cruising to their first conference win of the year. UH, meanwhile, dropped to 0-2 in the Mountain West and is off to a 1-4 start for the first time since 2005.
 
Aztec quarterback Ryan Katz led SDSU to the win, running for three touchdowns and throwing for two more. Four of those five touchdowns came in the first half alone as Katz scored on runs of 27-, 34- and 9-yards while tossing a 36-yard pass to Brice Butler.
 
After falling behind 21-0, the Warriors finally got on the board when Sean Schroeder connected with Trevor Davis for a 1-yard score midway through the second quarter. It was the sophomore's second touchdown of the year and snapped a scoreless streak of nearly six quarters for the Warriors.
 
The Aztecs, however, responded with two straight touchdowns, including one following a UH fumble in their own territory late in the half.
 
The Warriors came out strong in the second half, taking its opening drive 78 yards, capped by a 3-yard Will Gregory scoring plunge. But a UH rally was not in the works with the Aztecs scoring the game's final 17 points.
 
Turnovers stung the Warriors as three fumbles resulted in 17 SDSU points. The Warriors, who were out-gained 412-173, have given up 45 or more points in each of the last three games, the first time that has happened since 1998.
 
Hawai'i now returns home for the first time in three weeks when they host New Mexico for Homecoming. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. at Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium.
