GAME STORYLINES

• This week's match-up is the 19th all-time meeting between the schools and first since the 2020 season. It also marks the first meeting in front of a Hawai'i crowd since 2016. The 2020 game was played without fans at Aloha Stadium due to COVID-19 restrictions.
• BSU leads the all-time series 15-3 and have won the last nine meetings dating back to 2008. UH's last win over the Broncos came in 2007, when it won 39-27, en route to a WAC title and undefeated regular season.
• The Broncos have won 15 of the last 16 match-ups since 2001 — all as conference foes (WAC: 2001-10 and MW: 2012-20).
• BSU has won the last four games in Honolulu (2009, '12, '16, and '20) by an average margin of 31.0 points. BSU holds a 7-3 all-time advantage in Honolulu.
• UH (2-3, 0-1 MW) opened Mountain West play last week with a 27-24 loss at San Diego State. The Rainbow Warriors took a 24-20 lead in the fourth quarter before the Aztecs scored the game-winning touchdown with 7:05 left.
• BSU (4-1, 1-0) won a shoot-out with Utah State, 62-30, last week in Boise, Idaho to open conference play as the Broncos generated nearly 600 yards of total offense. Ashton Jeanty rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first half.
• Jeanty is the nation's leader in rushing yards (1,031), rushing yards per game (206.2), rushing touchdowns (16), and rushing yards per carry (10.85).
• BSU leads the nation in scoring offense (50.6) and is the Mountain West leader in total offense (537.6) while UH leads the MW in scoring defense (19.0) and total defense (309.4).
• UH has an 11-48 all-time record against nationally ranked teams, including 10-26 at home. Hawai'i's last win over a ranked team was against 18th-ranked Fresno State in 2021, which marks the only previous time a ranked team has visited Ching Complex.
• UH has out-scored its opponents 39-10 in the first quarter and have pitched three first quarter shutouts in five games.
• UH quarterback Brayden Schager needs 167 passing yards for 8,000 in his career. Only four other Hawai'i quarterbacks have reached that mark. He also needs 200 yards to move past Cole McDonald for fourth on the school's all-time passing list.
