Luke Weaver made his first career start for Hawaii and finished with 294 yards passing and three touchdowns, Giovanni Iovino had a 41-yard pick-6, and the Rainbow Warriors beat Sam Houston 37-20 on Saturday night. Weaver led three scoring drives in the fourth quarter.

Matsuzawa also made a 38-yarder as time expired in the first half and a 43-yard field goal early in the third quarter. Ashlock finished with seven receptions for 125 yards. The 6-foot-2 junior has at least one catch in 27 consecutive games and has 22 receptions in three games this season.

Bearkats quarterback Mabrey Mettauer left the game early in the fourth quarter after a hard hit by Iovino. Mettauer, who started in place of Hunter Watson (undisclosed), was replaced by freshman Landyn Locke, who made his collegiate debut. Mettauer finished 12-of-18 passing for 91 yards with an interception and added 45 yards rushing for Sam Houston (0-3). Locke completed 6 of 10 passes for 68 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown to Elijah Greene in the fourth quarter that trimmed the deficit to 27-20 with 8:15 to go.

Micah Alejado threw two touchdown passes, Kansei Matsuzawa made three field goals - including a 38-yarder as time expired - to help Hawaii beat Stanford 23-20 on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Hawaii beat a power conference team for the first time since opening the 2019 season with back-to-back wins over then-Pac-12 teams Arizona and Oregon State. Hawaii won in its first game against an ACC opponent. The Rainbow Warriors are 1-4 all-time against Stanford - all in Honolulu.

Alejado walked gingerly off the field after he was sacked by Matt Rose early in the second half but returned to start the next drive and finished 27-of-39 passing for 210 yards and added 36 yards rushing. Pofele Ashlock had nine receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown. Hawaii took possession at its own 28 with 1:33 to play and a limping Alejado went 5 of 7 for 51 yards to set up Matsuzawa's winning kick. Matsuzawa also made field goals of 40 and 37 yards, with the 37-yarder tying the score with 2:01 remaining. Micah Ford had 26 carries for 113 yards and a TD for Stanford. - Hawaii/AP College Football

03/04/23 - Brayden Schager, Sr/2025, Hawaii, 6-3, 220 (DS#33 QB) + More +

For the University of Hawaii football team, spring practice ended almost as soon as it began. The Rainbow Warriors were the second earliest team in the country to begin spring practices on Feb. 6, only behind Bowling Green. On Friday, spring ball ended for the 'Bows in order to cater to construction set to take place at UH-Manoa's grass practice fields, as well as the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.

Over the last four weeks, the Rainbow Warriors installed a base run and shoot playbook on offense, which the team plans to run under the guidance of head coach Timmy Chang, who ran the offense himself for UH from 2000 to 2004. Hawaii's 2023 schedule, which was released on Thursday, begins on Aug. 26 at Vanderbilt. - KHon2.com

On Thursday, UH safety Kona Moore and another defensive back collided during a 7-on-7 drill. Moore, who had limited motion for several minutes, was taken by ambulance to The Queen's Medical Center. It appears Moore suffered from a "stinger." He was released from the hospital on Friday morning. "It looks to be OK right now," Chang said after Friday's practice. "He wants to get back on the field already. He wants to be with his guys. He's a tough kid. Love him. The boys love him. It's positive news for us he's better." - Honolulu Advertiser

02/10/23 - Steven McBride, rSr/2025, Hawaii, 6-1, 165 (DS#155 WR) + More +

In an effort to overhaul its roster following the mass exodus of the Todd Graham era, 53 newcomers joined the University of Hawaii football team in 2022, while an additional 30 players signed in advance of the 2023 season. Among the players who joined the Rainbow Warriors seeking a fresh start is former Kansas receiver Steven McBride, who caught 20 passes for 128 yards and no touchdowns over his three seasons. He'll have two seasons of eligibility remaining at UH. "It's crazy to come out here in paradise, to have a fresh start," McBride told KHON2 sports director Rob DeMello. "You know, just come and feel what is way, way different than the mainland so that's what I really like about here. Just getting around exploring the island and just Hawaii period is crazy."

McBride joins an inexperienced wide receivers room at Hawaii but one that figures to have its yardage total go up across the board as the program returns to the run and shoot offense. "I mean, my focus is making a big impact on the team, playing my position, playing my position total to the max and using my talent to impact the team. I'm looking to be one of the receivers to make a big impact on it, be a part of it," McBride said of the run and shoot. "It's a different type of offense that I've been through and I've been through a lot of offenses, but this one is is unique for the game." - Khon2.com

The run and shoot offense, which became synonymous with the University of Hawaii football program two decades ago when June Jones was coaching the team, made a full-fledged return on Monday morning when the Rainbow Warriors kicked off spring practice. Hawaii went 3-10 in Timmy Chang's first season as head coach in 2022. The Rainbow Warriors did not run the run and shoot in 2022 under new offensive coordinator Ian Shoemaker, although certain run and shoot concepts were installed during the team's bye week after the team had started 1-4. Starting in 2023, the Rainbow Warriors will fully be a run and shoot team under Chang, who ran the offense himself as a quarterback for UH from 2000 to 2004, becoming the NCAA's all-time leading passer in the process until he was surpassed by Houston's Case Keenum in 2011.

The first quarterback to get a crack at running the run and shoot in a game this fall appears to be Brayden Schager, a junior who spent portions of his first two seasons starting games for the 'Bows. Despite that, he has yet to enter a college season as a starter. Schager also spent part of his winter break working with former UH quarterbacks coach Dan Morrison in the Dallas area, where Morrison helped Schager work on some run and shoot concepts and drills conducive to running the offense. - Khon2.com

10/27/22 - Ilm Manning, rSr/2023, Hawaii, 6-2, 294 (DS#18 OG) + More +

University of Hawaii offensive lineman Ilm Manning's college football career will go into overtime. Manning said he has been asked to play in the 98th East West Shrine Bowl in Las Vegas. The invitation-only all-star game is set for Feb. 2, 2023, in Allegiant Stadium. "Its an honor and privilege to showcase my skills and represent Hawaii at the same time," said Manning, a fifth-year senior from Glendale, Ariz. "All the NFL scouts will be there. Win or lose, it's going to be fun." Manning has played left tackle in 57 UH games, starting 55 of them, of a possible 59 games. He has not allowed a sack in the past 151 pass plays. Manning, who is 6 feet 4 and 295 pounds, projects to compete at guard or center at the next level. During Tuesday's two-hour practice, Manning took some reps at center. "It was fun," Manning said. "It's different from playing on the outside all the time to the middle." - Honolulu Advertiser

10/16/22 - Dedrick Parson, rSr/2023, Hawaii, 5-08, 203 (DS#77 RB) + More +

Brayden Schager threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Zion Bowens, Dedrick Parson added three short scoring runs and Hawaii cruised to a 31-16 victory over Nevada on Saturday night. Parson scored from a yard out on the opening possession to give Hawaii (2-5, 1-1 Mountain West Conference) a 7-0 lead. Nevada (2-5, 0-3) answered with a 16-play, 75-yard drive capped by Devonte Lee's 1-yard plunge to knot the score. Schager gave the Rainbow Warriors the lead for good when he hooked up with Bowens for a 48-yard touchdown with 2:21 left in the first quarter. Parson sandwiched a 9-yard scoring run around two field goals by the Wolf Pack's Matthew Killam and Hawaii led 21-13 at halftime.

Killam's 20-yard field goal in the third quarter cut Nevada's deficit to 21-16, but the Rainbow Warriors wrapped up the victory with a 16-play, 65-yard drive in the fourth quarter that took 8:06 off the clock and ended with Parson's 2-yard run. Schager completed 13 of 25 passes for 173 yards with one interception for Hawaii. Parson carried 24 times for 136 yards. Bowens had four receptions for 79 yards. Nate Cox passed for 188 yards, completing 22 of 37 attempts for the Wolf Pack. - Hawaii/AP College Football
