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
