The University of Hawaii football team plays its first game ever at Martin Stadium today against the host Washington State Cougars.
Kickoff is 9:30 a.m.
At the heart of the game is two teams on opposite paths. In their first season in the two-team Pac-12, the Cougars are 5-1 — a victory from becoming bowl eligible. They have healed from losing quarterback Cam Ward and his Heisman Trophy candidacy to Miami.

In road games, the Warriors are 0-2 this year and 1-13 overall under third-year coach Timmy Chang. Despite leading the Mountain West in scoring defense (20.5 points per game) and total defense (332.8 yards a contest), the Warriors have committed too many penalties (52 of 54 were accepted), relinquished too many sacks (3.5 per game), and not made enough timely plays. At 2-4, the Warriors have only defeated FCS members Delaware State and Northern Iowa.
