What you need to know about San Diego State

The Aztecs jumped out to a 13-0 halftime lead over Boise State last weekend before allowing five touchdowns in the second half and getting shut out the rest of the way. SDSU's only touchdown came on a Tyrell Shavers blocked punt return in the second quarter following two Jack Browning field goals. The Aztecs' offense only managed 114 total yards including a 2 of 16 effort passing. Quarterback Braxton Burmeister was knocked out of last week's game in the third quarter but is trending towards playing this weekend.

For San Diego State to have success, they'll likely need to rely on RB Jordan Byrd, whose 115 yards on the ground and two scores propelled the team to a comeback victory over Toledo in Week 4. On the season he's averaging 6.8 yards per carry and has scored three times. Hawaii is surrendering 260.8 yards on the ground per game, second worst in the country (only ahead of Colorado).

What you need to know about Hawaii

The Rainbow Warriors' season has been very poor thus far, only amassing one victory, a 24-14 home win over FCS Duquesne in Week 3. In four games against FBS teams, they've given up an average of 53 points per game under new coach Timmy Chang, a former standout QB at the school. Unfortunately Hawaii's quarterback play has been woeful, as Brayden Schager and Joey Yellon have combined to throw six interceptions to only one touchdown.

If there's been a bright spot for Hawaii on offense, it's been RB Dedrick Parson, who is averaging four yards per carry and has scored six times in 2022. The usually stingy SDSU run defense is allowing 170.8 yards per game this season, ranked among the bottom 40 FBS teams. The Rainbow Warriors might be most effective generating offense on the ground in a game where they are significant underdogs.
