What to Know

The San Jose State Spartans are 1-4 against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors since November of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. The Spartans will take on Hawaii at 6 p.m. ET at Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium after a week off. If the game is anything like the Rainbow Warriors' 42-40 win from their previous meeting in November of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between SJSU and the UNLV Rebels three weeks ago was still a pretty decisive one as SJSU wrapped it up with a 34-17 victory at home. Among those leading the charge for SJSU was WR Bailey Gaither, who caught six passes for two TDs and 94 yards.

SJSU's defense was a presence as well, as it embarrassed UNLV's offensive line to sack the QB seven times total. Leading the way was DL Cade Hall and his three sacks. Hall now has 5.5 sacks this season.

Meanwhile, the Rainbow Warriors narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Nevada Wolf Pack 24-21. Hawaii's QB Chevan Cordeiro did his thing and passed for one TD and 246 yards on 32 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 62 yards.

This next matchup is expected to be close, with SJSU going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. If their 3-0-1 record against the spread is anything to go by, the prospects look good for bets placed on them.

SJSU is now a perfect 4-0 while Hawaii sits at 3-3. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Spartans come into the game boasting the eighth fewest touchdowns allowed in the nation at eight. As for the Rainbow Warriors, they enter the game with only 183.3 passing yards allowed per game on average, good for 15th best in the nation.
