UH improved to 10-11-1 all-time against the academies, including a 2-0 mark vs. Army.

 

UH has won its last five games against the academies dating back to 1999 (def. Navy in 1999 & 2009, def. Air Force in 2001 and def. Army in 2003 & 2010).

 

Bryant Moniz finished with 343 yards passing, the fifth time in his career he has topped 300 yards.

 

Keahola Pilares scored for second straight game on a 48-yard reception from Moniz in the second quarter. Pilares has a team-leading four touchdowns, with each one going for 30 yards or longer.

 

Pilares went for 100+ yards (6 catches, 104 yards) for the second time this season and fourth time in his career.

 

Royce Pollard scored his first career touchdown on a 26-yard reception on UH’s opening drive.

 

John Hardy-Tuliau blocked UH’s first kick of the season when he denied Army’s 37-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. It was UH’s first blocked kick since the 2008 season.

 

UH improved 2-3 in non-conference road games under head coach Greg McMackin.

 

Greg Salas has caught a pass in 29 straight games dating back to his sophomore season, the fourth longest active streak in the country.

 

Junior defensive back Richard Torres made his first start of the season and eighth of his career.

 

The game marked the farthest distance ever UH has traveled for a game. The previous long was when UH traveled to nearby Piscataway, N.J., for a game at Rutgers in 1975. The game marked only the sixth time UH has played in the Eastern Time Zone and the first since a season-opening loss at Florida in 2008.
