With two weeks of the regular season remaining, the University of Hawai'i football team will look to finish on a high note beginning with its Mountain West finale at Utah State, Saturday, Nov. 18. Kick-off is 1:00 p.m. MT (10:00 a.m. HT) at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah.
The Rainbow Warriors (3-7, 1-6 MW) dropped their third consecutive MW contest but not before staging a fourth quarter comeback that fell short in a 31-21 decision to Fresno State last week in Honolulu. The loss assured UH a non-winning season for the seventh consecutive year.
This week's road trip marks UH's sixth of the season. Over the course of the year, the Warriors travelled more than 38,000 miles by air and 700 by bus while playing in four different time zones. The Warriors are 1-4 on the road this season.
The Aggies (5-5, 3-3), who were idle last week, have lost three straight home games since opening with wins over Idaho State and BYU at Maverik Stadium. USU has won three straight over UH in the series that began in 1927.
