FINAL SCORE: San Jose State 17, Hawaii 13
Hawaii opens Mountain West play with tonight’s nationally televised game against defending league champion San Jose State.
The Spartans are 1-1 and the Rainbow Warriors 1-2, but UH coach Todd Graham said everyone is “zero and zero” entering the West Division matchup at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletic Complex. Although no “spectators” will be permitted for a second consecutive UH home game, a waiver was granted to allow the fully vaccinated UH Band to attend and perform. The band is situated in the mauka stands — socially distanced and more 40 yards away from the UH sideline.
Nick Starkel, who joined SJUS last year after stints at Texas A&M, is a strong-armed quarterback with several speedy targets. Wideout Charles Ross, a transfer from Nevada, is a vertical threat, and Derrick Deese is one of the league’s best motion tight ends.
Hawaii has displayed a quick and multiple-attack offense, with Calvin Turner as a tripole threat (running back, receiver, wildcat quarterback) amd Dae Dae Hunter emerging as a playmaking back.
