Backup quarterback Luke Weaver threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Nick Cenacle with 10 seconds left, and Hawaii rallied for a 35-31 comeback victory over California in a thrilling Hawaii Bowl on Wednesday night. Weaver entered the game after Micah Alejado took a hard hit on the previous play. With the Rainbow Warriors (9-4) in range for a tying field goal, coach Timmy Chang took a shot at the end zone, and Cenacle got between two defensive backs and made the contested catch. Chang, Hawaii's fourth-year coach who had a record-setting career as the Rainbow Warriors' quarterback from 2000-04, led his program to its first nine-win season since 2019 - when Nick Rolovich, currently Cal's interim coach, guided Hawaii to a 10-5 record. Alejado finished 32 of 46 for 274 yards and three touchdowns, helping Hawaii rally from an early 21-0 deficit. Pofele Ashlock had 14 catches for 123 yards and two TDs for the Rainbow Warriors, who scored 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Cal (7-6) pulled ahead 31-28 with 1:57 left on a 1-yard touchdown run by Hawaii-born freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who finished with 343 yards passing and a touchdown. Alejado's 17-yard touchdown pass to Brandon White with 7:19 left gave Hawaii a 28-24 lead. The Rainbow Warriors tied it early in the fourth quarter when Alejado connected with Ashlock for their second TD and then completed a 2-point conversion pass to Cam Barfield. Cal took a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter on Anthony League's 8-yard TD run. Rolovich tipped his cap to Chang and the Warriors, who scored on their final six drives. Hawaii improved to 9-6 all-time in bowl games, while Cal fell to 12-14-1. - Hawaii/AP College Football

Denis Lynch kicked a game-winning 48-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining to send San Jose State past Idaho, 31-28 on Saturday. The Spartans (1-2) avoided their fourth loss to an FCS team in program history, while the Vandals (2-2), ranked eighth in the FCS coaches poll, will go without an FBS win for the first time in three seasons. After trading touchdowns on four straight drives the San Jose State defense finally forced a three-and-out for the only punt of the second half. The Spartans then drove 31 yards in eight plays for the winning kick.

Jabari Bates had a career-high 131 rushing yards on 11 carries with an 87-yard scoring rush that put the Spartans on the board one snap after Idaho took a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter. The junior had never reached 100 rushing yards in his collegiate career. Walker Eget completed 13 of his 21 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown, and Danny Scudero hauled in six catches for 130 yards. Joshua Wood was 18-for-32 with 204 yards and two touchdowns for Idaho.
