The University of Hawaii football team faced off against Delaware State in a game that was much closer than expected. Despite being a 40-point underdog, the Hornets managed to keep the game competitive for most of the matchup. The Warriors struggled to find consistency early on, leading only 14-7 at halftime due to strong defensive and special teams play.
Senior quarterback Brayden Schager took accountability for the team’s offensive struggles, leading by example in the second half with three scoring drives. He ended the game responsible for four touchdowns, helping secure a 35-14 victory for Hawaii. Tylan Hines also contributed with a 44-yard punt return for a touchdown.
The Warriors narrowly avoided a season-opening loss that would have been embarrassing, but ultimately learned valuable lessons from the closer-than-expected game. They will need to replicate their second-half performance against Delaware State when they face UCLA in their next game.
Despite not meeting expectations set by a 40-point spread, Hawaii’s victory over Delaware State provides a learning opportunity for the team as they prepare for tougher opponents in the future. The game served as a reminder that consistency and strong performance in the second half will be crucial for their upcoming matchups.
