A jubilant crowd showed up to Clarence T.C. Ching Complex to see Hawaii take on #24 San Diego State. It wasn’t a packed capacity crowd like many hoped for, but Hawaii’s student section was primed and ready to go, and those that did attend made their presence known. It was an early look at what Hawaii football games will be like for the foreseeable future, and possibly longer.
The game, however, was far from an instant classic. Hawaii finished the game with 260 total yards of offense and that was more yards than San Diego State’s offense posted.
