Overview

  • San Jose State improved to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in Mountain West play after a 20-16 win at the Ching Complex on Saturday night, paced by transfer quarterback Luke Weaver.
  • Weaver was 19-of-28 for 246 yards and two touchdown passes while protecting the ball and managing a key 12-play drive that produced the game‑winning field goal.
  • Hawaii’s Micah Alejado finished 22-of-34 for 338 yards and a touchdown but threw two interceptions that San Jose State turned into 10 points.
  • The Warriors were shut out in the first half, settled for field goals on red-zone trips, committed 12 penalties and played without or with limited help from injured players including Audric Harris and Joenel Figueroa.
  • The loss drops Hawaii to 1-4 and 0-3 in the Mountain West while extending San Jose State’s run to six straight wins in the series, a result that raises questions about Hawaii’s short-term conference prospects and coaching adjustments.
