Game Notes:
  • Saturday's match-up is the 51st meeting between the schools. Fresno State is UH's longest-standing rival. The teams have met every season since 1992 when both were members of the Western Athletic Conference. 
  • UH has five wins against the Bulldogs in Fresno, Calif., since 2002 including a 14-13 victory in 2016.
  • Hawai'i (6-3, 3-1 MW) suffered its first home and conference loss of the season following a 40-22 defeat to Nevada last Saturday at Aloha Stadium. 
  • Fresno State (6-1, 3-0) became bowl eligible after a 38-7 road win at New Mexico for its fifth straight win.
  • 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 and would guarantee a non-losing MW record for the second time in three years (4-4 in 2016).
  • UH has averaged only 20.7 points and 328.7 yards of total offense in its last three games after starting the season averaging 42.0 points and 495.8 yards of total offense in its first six contests.
  • Fresno State is the nation's leader in scoring defense allowing only 12.6 points per game and is No. 10 nationally in total defense (298.1 ypg). The Bulldogs have allowed only 13 combined points and an average of 276 yards of total offense in their last three games. 
  • UH is 2-2 in road games this season, including a 2-0 mark in MW play. Under Rolovich, UH is 6-10 in road games (3-3 in '16; 1-5 in '17; 2-2 in '18), including a 5-5 record in MW road contests.
  • Following this week's trip, UH will have logged 32,280 air miles and have played in four different time zones.
  • 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).
  • UH's final four opponents have a combined record of 20-8, which includes 6-1 teams Fresno State, Utah State, and San Diego State, all of whom have current 5+ win streaks.
  • UH will make its fifth appearance on national television this season. The Warriors are 2-2 with wins over Colorado State and Navy and losses at Army and BYU.
