Hawaii quarterback Brayden Schager rushed for four touchdowns and the Hawaii football team earned its first win over a FBS opponent this season with a 34-13 victory over Nevada tonight at Ching Complex.

A crowd of 9,538 watched Schager become the first Rainbow Warrior to rush for four touchdowns in a game since Alex Green in 2010. He tied the record for a quarterback with Glenn Freitas, who did it twice in 1995, and Ivin Jasper, who did it once in 1993.

Hawaii (3-5, 1-2 Mountain West), which entered the game averaging less than 100 yards per game on the ground this season, rushed for a season-high 242 yards on 42 attempts.

Schager finished with 120 rushing yards on 19 carries and Landon Sims added 82 yards on nine attempts to average more than 9 yards per carry.

Hawaii had rushed for three touchdowns in its first seven games of the season. Its first two wins this season were against FCS members Delaware State and Northern Iowa.
