Hawaii Football Final

Listen Later

The University of Hawai'i football team delivered one of its most complete performances of the season in a 38-6 rout of previously unbeaten Mountain West opponent San Diego State, a win that headlined the latest episode of Hawaii Football Final, a Hawaii Sports 2Night production.

KHON2 Sports Director Rob DeMello, alongside analyst Rich Miano, a former University of Hawai'i player and coach and 11-year NFL veteran, broke down the victory on the weekly show, which streams Sundays at 7 p.m. on the KHON+ app (available on Apple TV, Roku and Firestick). A televised rebroadcast airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on KHON2, and an extended episode also drops Sundays at 7:30 p.m. on major podcast platforms, including Spotify.

In rainy conditions at the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex, Hawai'i (7-3, 4-2 Mountain West) controlled all three phases of the game to keep its conference title hopes alive with two regular-season games remaining.

Rainbow Warriors Receiver Jackson Harris continued his dominant run, extending his 100-yard receiving streak to five games with a 130-yard, three-touchdown first half. All three scores came from quarterback Micah Alejado, who finished with 256 passing yards, 130 of them to Harris.

The Rainbow Warriors defense turned in its most disruptive performance of the year, piling up six tackles for loss and three sacks while forcing a season-high four turnovers. Defensive back Elijah Palmer provided the exclamation point with a pick-six.

And on special teams, Cam Barfield went coast-to-coast, returning a kickoff for a touchdown, the program's first such score in five years.

The episode also fielded fan questions in the weekly "HFF Mailbox" segment and looked ahead to what's next for Hawai'i as the Rainbow Warriors continue to push for a Mountain West championship berth.

The full breakdown is available on Hawaii Football Final, airing weekly across KHON2 platforms.
