Hawaii Set to Host Surging New Mexico

Hawai‘i hosts surging New Mexico for Homecoming after four straight losses, hoping to turn competitive stretches into a win. The Rainbow Warriors have moved the ball through the air with quarterback Micah Alejado but have struggled to score and establish the run; recent deep catches from Devin Alves and Audric Harris offer a possible boost. New Mexico arrives with a potent rushing attack and one of the nation’s stingiest defenses, which leads the FBS in interceptions and is among the leaders in takeaways. The Lobos’ dual-threat quarterback Toa Fa‘avae and featured back Scottre Humphrey will test a Hawai‘i team seeking a turnaround at home.
