FINAL: New Mexico 42, Hawaii 21
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. >> The University of Hawaii football team hopes to earn its first road win under Timmy Chang today against New Mexico at University Stadium.
The Rainbow Warriors (2-5, 0-2 Mountain West Conference) have lost their last nine road games while the Lobos (2-4, 0-2) have lost 20 consecutive conferene home games dating back to 2017.
In advance of the 26th meeting between the teams, the Warriors practiced on Monday and Tuesday at their grass field, used Wednesday as a travel day, and worked on fundamentals — such as route precision, ball security and defensive positioning — during workouts at Nusenda.
The Warriors also continued to address their problematic slow starts. In their opening drives this year, the Warriors are averaging 1.2 yards per play and 4.4 yards a possession. They have amassed 255 yards in their first three drives of games this season, an average of 12.1 yards per possession. Their first three drives have resulted in a touchdown, a field goal, 16 punts, two interceptions and a failed fourth down.
