It’s finally game week, and the Fresno State Bulldogs open up the season against the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors. Last year, these two teams faced off in Honolulu where the Bulldogs narrowly defeated Hawai’i 41-38.
The Collegian spoke with Tanner Haworth — the sports editor at Ka Leo O Hawai’i, the student newspaper of the University of Hawai’i — to talk about the upcoming game.
Q: Fresno State and Hawai’i had the same struggle of getting students to participate in athletic activities due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Does playing each other in the first game serve as an advantage to both teams?
