Given recent history, University of Hawaii football coach Greg McMackin said he expects another in a series of "tough battles" when the Warriors play at San Jose State Friday.
None of the last five meetings at San Jose have been decided by more than a touchdown and the two most recent trips, 2009 and ’07, both went to overtime.
"We’ve always won over there but they have been just battles," McMackin said on a Western Athletic Conference coaches teleconference this morning.
UH has won four in a row at Spartan Stadium.
UH (3-2) is a 6 1/2-point favorite over the 2-4 Spartans in a game to be shown on ESPN.
