3rd Quarter Report

After a tough loss on the road their last time out, Hawaii looks much better today on their home field. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead Colorado State 21-10. Hawaii took a big hit to their ego last Saturday, so a victory here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.

Hawaii came into the contest with some extra motivation after the defeat they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We'll see if they're able to flip the script or if it'll just be more of the same.

What to Know

Colorado State has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The Colorado State Rams and the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors will face off in a Mountain West battle at 11:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex. Colorado State will be hoping to continue their three-game streak of scoring more points each matchup than the last.

Last Saturday, Colorado State earned a 30-20 win over Nevada.

Colorado State got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi out in front who threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Fowler-Nicolosi has been a model of consistency, as he's now posted a passer rating of 70 or better in the last six games he's played. Jordan Noyes did his part by putting the 'special' in special teams, booting in three field goals and three extra points.

Meanwhile, Hawaii gave up the first points and the most points on Saturday. They took a serious blow against Wyoming, falling 42-9.

Colorado State's win bumped their season record to 5-6 while Nevada's defeat dropped theirs to 2-9.

While only Colorado State took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Going forward, Colorado State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 5.5 points. Neither team has fared well against the spread this season; they is 4-7, while Hawaii is 4-8.

Colorado State didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Hawaii when the teams last played back in October of 2022, but they still walked away with a 17-13 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Colorado State since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
