Warriors Head To BYU For Non-Conference Tilt

Game Notes  |  Coach Chow's Weekly Press Conference

The University of Hawai'i Warrior football team will look to bounce back from one of its biggest losses in school history with a non-conference game at Brigham Young, Friday, Sept. 28, in Provo, Utah. Kickoff is 6:00 p.m. MT (2:00 p.m. HT) at LaVell Edwards Stadium and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
 
The Warriors (1-2) are coming off a 69-24 home loss to Nevada in its Mountain West opener. UH surrendered its most points ever in the 38-year history of Aloha Stadium while the 45-point deficit was its most in a conference home game.
 
This week's game is a homecoming for Warrior head coach Norm Chow, who spent 27 years (24 as an assistant) at BYU. During his tenure, the Cougars posted a 244-91-3 record and appeared in 23 bowl games. He was part of one national championship team and coached one Heisman Trophy winner (Ty Detmer) and three NFL first round draft picks.
 
The Cougars (2-2) have dropped their last two games by a combined four points to rival Utah (24-21) and No. 24 Boise State (7-6), both on the road. BYU opened the season with home wins over Washington State and Weber State.
 
The former Western Athletic Conference rivals have a long and rich history. BYU leads the overall series 20-8, including winning all eight meetings in Provo.
