In the latest episode of Hawaii Football Final, KHON2 Sports Director Rob DeMello and analyst Rich Miano broke down the University of Hawai‘i football team’s homecoming victory over Portland State, a win that moved the Rainbow Warriors to 3-1 on the season.

There’s no reason to risk Alejado against competition like Portland State, nor wide receiver Nick Cenacle who is out with a knee injury. Chang has once again labeled Alejado as a game-time decision, but expect Weaver to start again this week.

Hawaii's Rainbow Warriors triumphed over Portland State with strong defense and Weaver's 240-yard, two-TD performance.

More gritty than pretty, the Hawaii football team cobbled Saturday night’s 23-3 victory over Portland State at the Ching Complex.

Hawaii hosts Fresno State on Sept. 21. Portland State hosts Northern Arizona on Sept. 27.

In UH’s version of a two-tight-end set, running back Landon Sims can misdirect a pass rusher and then curl for middle or bubble screens. For the second consecutive week, QB1 Micah Alejado’s availability is listed as a “game-time decision” because of a foot ailment.

Screenwriters could not have crafted a more timely script than the University of Hawaii football team’s homecoming game featuring a prodigal quarterback.

Alejado was not dressed for Hawaii’s 37-20 win over Sam Houston this past weekend after going down with an ankle injury early in the season. In his place Luke Weaver threw three touchdowns for nearly 300 yards.
