By Warrior World on December 7, 2019

Boise State made the plays the University of Hawaii couldn’t en route to a 31-10 victory to clinch the Mountain West Conference Championship football game before a boisterous Broncos crowd that has come to expect nothing less.

Hawaii football: Rainbow Warriors ready for redemption in Boise; Dayton Furuta tabbed for Hula Bowl

By Brian McInnis on December 3, 2019

Hawaii went up to Boise, Idaho, in mid-October with the best of intentions. The Rainbow Warriors might not have been afraid of any ghosts at Albertsons Stadium, but there were definitely some demons of struggles past that spawned early in a 59-37 loss to the then-No. 14 Broncos. Fortunately for all involved, that wasn’t the end of the line. Resurgent UH (9-4, 5-3 Mountain West) will contend with now-No. 19 BSU (11-1, 8-0) at 11 a.m. (HST) Saturday in an […]

By Dave Reardon on December 1, 2019

As noted a couple of weeks ago, there are some Utah fans who have made their displeasure with my voting pattern this season very clear. And if any of them saw last week’s comment about how difficult it would be for any Pac-12 team to make it to the College Football Playoff they couldn’t have liked that much, either — because by then it was clear that “any Pac-12 team” meant the Utes. I’ve come around; Utah is one of […]
