THE STAKES

For Hawaii … The Rainbow Warriors are looking to record a 10-win season on their home field. 

For BYU … The Cougars can finish the campaign with an 8-win season after a 2-4 start.

THE TRENDS

For Hawaii … The Rainbow Warriors rank No. 6 nationally in passing, averaging 325.9 yards per game.

For BYU … With a victory over Hawaii, Zach Wilson would become just the second BYU starting quarterback in program history to win back-to-back bowl games. 

THE CRYSTAL BALL

Hawaii: The Rainbow Warriors should be fired up playing at home, their ninth home game of the season. Can Hawaii capitalize on its home-field advantage? 

BYU: Quarterback Zach Wilson had his struggles against San Diego State. But he’s healthier now and he’ll be facing a defense that’s not nearly as good as SDSU’s.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Hawaii quarterback Cole McDonald: The junior quarterback has competed 298 of 465 passes for 3,642 yards with 29 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.  

KEY MATCHUP

BYU’s red-zone offense vs. Hawaii’s defense: The Cougars rolled up more than 400 yards but scored just three points at San Diego State. Hawaii’s red zone scoring defense ranks No. 87 nationally. 

QUOTABLE

“I think they’re confident with what they’re doing on offense and they are able to score points. Nick Rolovich is an excellent coach, they’ve got an excellent staff. Their players are playing really motivated football right now, playing really good team football. They’re a top-10 passing offense in the country.”

— BYU coach Kalani Sitake
