Game Notes: 

• This week's game is the third match-up for UH head coach Nick Rolovich against the team he previously served as offensive coordinator. Rolovich is 1-1 vs. Nevada with a 38-17 win in Honolulu in 2016 and 35-21 loss in Reno in 2017.
• Rolovich has been a part of this series every year since 2010 either as UH OC ('10-11), Nevada OC ('12-15) or UH HC ('16-present) and has been on the winning side six times in eight games. He was 4-0 vs. Hawai'i as Nevada's OC from 2012-15.
• Nevada leads the all-time series 13-9, however UH holds an 8-5 advantage in games played in Honolulu. UH's win in 2016 at Aloha Stadium snapped the Wolf Pack's five-game win streak in the series.
• Hawai'i (6-2, 3-0 MW) dropped a 49-23 decision to BYU in Provo last Saturday in a game in which they trailed 28-3 at halftime.
• Saturday's game marks the first of three home games for UH in a four-game stretch. The Warriors are 4-0 at Aloha Stadium this season.
• Nevada (3-4, 1-2 MW) fell to Boise State, 31-27 last week in Reno, its second home conference loss in as many weeks. The Wolf Pack are 1-2 in road games this season with a win over Air Force and losses to Vanderbilt and Toledo.
• A win on Saturday would give Hawai'i its seventh win and bowl eligibility. UH last appeared in the 2016 Hawai'i Bowl. A win would also secure a winning regular season for the first time since 2010.
• UH has averaged only 20.0 points and 307.5 yards of total offense in its last two games after eclipsing 400 total yards in five of its first six games of the season.
• UH has scored 40+ points or more in five of its six wins this season. The Warriors are 9-0 under Nick Rolovich when scoring 40+ points and 20-0 including his tenure as UH offensive coordinator (2010-11).
• With 89 yards receiving and one touchdown last week against BYU, UH receiver John Ursua continues to lead the nation in receiving yards (890) and receiving touchdowns (13). Ursua is also the conference leader in six categories.
• UH's three-game Mountain West win streak is its longest since joining the conference in 2012. A win on Saturday would guarantee a non-losing MW record for the second time in three years (4-4 in 2016). 
• Beginning with this week's match-up with Nevada, UH's final five opponents have a combined record of 20-11, which includes 5-1 teams Fresno State, Utah State, and San Diego State, all of whom have current 4+ win streaks.
