GAME STORYLINES
  • Following the game, a total of 23 seniors will participate in the traditional senior night ceremony, including six-year seniors WR Spencer Curtis, LB Nalu Emerson and Jonah Panoke and seven-year seniors LB Logan Taylor and DL Elijah Robinson. Emerson and Panoke spent all six seasons in Manoa.
  • Hawai'i has won its last six Senior Night games and 11 of its last 12. During its six-game win streak, four of the games were decided by one score including the last three (50-45 vs. CSU, 2021; 31-25 vs. UNLV, 2022; 27-24 vs. CSU, 2023).
  • UH leads the overall series with New Mexico 16-11, including a 12-6 advantage in games played in Honolulu.
  • Hawai'i won the last meeting in Honolulu, 39-33, Nov. 7, 2020 at Aloha Stadium which snapped a four-game home losing streak in the series. The Warriors erased a 20-7 second quarter deficit and totaled 503 yards of offense with four scoring plays of 40 yards or longer.
  • Since UH joined the Mountain West in 2012, the teams have met six times with UNM holding a slight 4-2 advantage.
  • Both teams were idle last week.
  • Under head coach Timmy Chang, UH is 0-4 following bye weeks, including 0-2 this season. Hawai'i, which had one bye week in each of the past two seasons, had three bye weeks this season (Weeks 2, 5, 13).
  • UH (4-7, 2-4 MW) last played at Utah State two weeks ago in Logan, Utah falling 55-10. The Warriors threw five interceptions and were sacked seven times in the loss.
  • UNM (5-6, 4-3) upset No. 18 Washington State two weeks ago in Albuquerque, N.M., 38-35, keeping its bowl chances alive. The last time the Lobos were bowl eligible was 2016.
  • This season marks the second consecutive year that UH can spoil a team's chance for bowl eligibility in the final week of the regular season. Last year, Hawai'i defeated Colorado State, 27-24 in Honolulu on a walk-off field goal.
  • UH's Brayden Schager has made 33 consecutive starts, which is a school-record for a quarterback. If he does not start on Saturday, true freshman Micah Alejado will likely get the nod becoming the first freshman to start a game at QB since Schager in 2021 vs. Fresno State.
