SCORE: Hawaii 20, New Mexico State 17, FINAL

——

Matthew Shipley’s 24-yard field goal is GOOD as time expires. Hawaii (2-3) beats New Mexico State (2-3).

Hawaii comes out and runs a shovel pass to the running back for 13 yards to the 41. Schager has time on second-and-10 and hits Ashlock for a huge play. Inside the NMSU 40. Schager to Sims out of the backfield for a yard to the NMSU 36. Less than 90 seconds to go. Third-and-9 now with 1:04 to left at the 36. Timeout NMSU. Schager has time and he hits Steven McBride for 12 yards to the 24. Good, solid throw. Deep ball to the corner and we have flags all over the place. Aggies called for both pass interference and a roughing-the-passer penalty. Ball is placed at the 9. UH runs it for a loss to 1 to the 10 and puts the ball in the middle of the field. Timeout NMSU. 45 seconds to go. Handoff goes for 5 yards. Third-and-goal. Aggies let the clock run down and call timeout at 10 seconds. Hawaii runs the ball to the middle of the field and goes down. UH calls timeout with 2 seconds left.

8:43 p.m.: Terrible punt by NMSU and Hawaii will get the ball on its 28 with exactly 3 minutes to go.

8:42 p.m.: Aggies drive starts from their 25 with 7:19 to go. Three consecutive runs results in two first downs. A third first down is negated by a holding penalty and now NMSU is backed up. Second-and-18 on its 40. Screen pass goes nowhere and the runner goes out of bounds to stop the clock inside of four minutes. Third-and-long and the rain starts coming. Pavia runs it near midfield but well short.

8:33 p.m.: Johnson runs it to the 4. First-and-goal and Johnson gets a yard. Landon Sims gets stuffed for a loss of 1 and it’s third-and-goal. Schager hits Nishigaya out of the slot in the middle of the end zone. Touchdown Hawaii. First TD of the season for Nishigaya ties this one up. NMSU 17, HAW 17, 7:19, Q4.

8:30 p.m.: Out of the timeout and Schager hits Walthall but he’s just short. Fourth-and-inches. Handoff to Johnson and he picks it up by a yard behind a nice surge from the offensive line.

8:25 p.m.: A Schager bomb to Walthall is on the money but he just can’t bring it in. Would have been a great catch in the end zone but the throw was there. Third-and-11 and Schager has time and finds Johnson who makes a man miss to pick up the first down. Hawaii with a pass to get inside the 10 but a holding penalty negates it. Schager is hit from behind and fumbles but big 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive lineman Josh Atkins grabs it and runs for 14 yards. Third-and-6, timeout Hawaii.

8:21 p.m.: With an assist from the announced crowd of 8,382, which got loud to start the fourth quarter, Hawaii forces a three-and-out. NMSU actually went backward. UH ball after a punt inside NMSU territory.

8:14 p.m.: Schager has Hawaii on the move. An 11-play, 66-yard drive comes to a sudden end as Schager fumbles near the 5-yard line on third-and-goal. Heavy pressure forced him to try to run and the ball is knocked loose. Keyshaun Elliott on the recovery and the Aggies have the ball when the third quarter ends.

8:05 p.m.: Pavia hits Jordin Parker for a 42-yard gain but Hawaii’s defense holds as Albertson pushes a 43-yard field goal wide left.

8:00 p.m.: Schager takes a sack and UH goes three-and-out after recovering the kick. Aggies dodge one there.

HELLLLOOOOO. UH goes onside kick and gets it. Jalen Smith with the recovery for the Warriors. My oh my what a start to the second half for the home team.

7:50 p.m.: Third-and-14 and Schager finds Pofele Ashlock for 15 yards. Next play and Schager hits Koali Nishigaya in stride and he makes a man miss and takes it 29 yards to the NMSU 16. UH already with its best-looking drive on offense. Schager to Nishigaya for 15 more yards and then it’s Schager breaking loose up the middle for a 4-yard TD. Great opening drive to start the second half is just what the doctor ordered for UH. NMSU 17, HAW 10, 10:22, Q3.

7:43 p.m.: UH will receive.

7:11 p.m.: Third-and-10 and NMSU draws up a perfect play with Pavia hitting Star Thomas out of the backfield for a wide-open 21 -yard TD. Eight plays, 71 yards on the drive. Hawaii’s Nalu Emerson forced a fumble on the drive but the Aggies recovered. Big momentum swing there as the Aggies go up two touchdowns. NMSU 17, HAW 3, 1:38, Q2.

6:53 p.m.: NMSU is just destroying UH physically once again. Not much different from last year UNTIL THAT. Sauce Williams rips the ball out and grabs it and takes it back into NMSU territory. Huge game-changing play there. Maybe that can spark the Warriors.

Ball at the 29 and UH doesn’t even think about it and sends the punt team out there. Some happy feet back there at QB as Schager isn’t waiting long to take off. Looks a little rattled.

6:25 p.m.: Sophomore Monte Watkins breaks five tackles on a 39-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Diego Pavia. Those tackle attempts left a lot to be desired by UH. NMSU 7, HAW 0, 7:17, Q1.

6:14 p.m.: Hawaii quarterback Brayden Schager completes his first three passes for 15 yards but is pressured on third down and is well short of the marker on a scramble. UH punts from near midfield.

6:10 p.m.: Welcome back, Cam Stone. Beautifull pass breakup on third down and NMSU goes three-and-out to start.

6:05 p.m.: Hawaii wins the toss and will defer to the second half. Aggies will get the ball first.
