Rainbow Warriors Begin MW Play At Nevada

Game Notes | Watch Video |

The University of Hawai'i football team opens Mountain West play with a road game at Nevada, Saturday, Sept. 21 at Mackay Stadium in Reno, Nev. Kickoff is 5:05 p.m. PT (2:05 p.m. HT).
 
The Rainbow Warriors (0-2) enter the contest having lost their first two games of the season and is coming off a bye week. Hawai'i opened with a pair of losses to Pac-12 foes USC and Oregon State and begins a stretch of six consecutive MW games.
 
The Wolf Pack (1-2) lost at No. 10 Florida State, 62-7, last week in Tallahassee, Fla. Nevada opened the season with a loss to then-No. 21 UCLA before rebounding with a home win over UC Davis. Against the Seminoles, the Pack played without starting quarterback Cody Fajardo and running backs Don Jackson and Kendall Brock.
 
For this week's contest, Hawai'i welcomes back veteran running back Joey Iosefa and wide receiver Billy Ray Stutzmann, both of whom missed the team's first two games due to injury. The duo have combined for 40 career starts.
 
UH and Nevada have met 17 previous times with the Pack holding a slight 9-8 edge in the series. Nevada has won five of six all-time meetings in Reno with UH's only victory in 2007. All six games have been decided by 14 points or less.
