The Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors will be playing at home against the New Mexico State Aggies Sunday at Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex (Honolulu). The game is slated for 12:00 a.m. ET.
In Week 1, Hawai'i ended up a good deal behind the UNLV Rebels and lost 21-6. The Rainbow Warriors have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for New Mexico State, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road in their season opener. They steamrolled past the Mercyhurst Lakers 51-14 in Week 1. The Aggies were heavily favored coming into this matchup, and the results showcase why.
Running back James Jones was on his A-game, rushing for 137 yards and one touchdown while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also catching one TD. He had some trouble finding his footing against the Florida State Seminoles in the season opener, so this was a nice turnaround. Another player making a difference was quarterback Trey Hedden, who threw for 253 yards and a pair of touchdowns while averaging 12.6 yards per attempt.
New Mexico State was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 236 yards. They have not posted that many yards since Nov. 9, 2024, when they rushed for 331 vs. Western Kentucky.
New Mexico State's victory brought them up to 1-1. As for Hawai'i, they are now 0-2, having gone 3-4 since their three-game winning streak (dating back to last season) ended.
