Hawaii traveled to Logan, Utah with the intention of turning around an ugly trend. Since joining the Mountain West together in 2012, Hawaii had lost to Utah State four consecutive times by an average score margin of 33.7 points. With upset on the mind, the hope was that the Warriors would at the very least keep the game competitive. The point spread ranging from -5 to -6 USU seemed to lend confidence toward that feeling. Unfortunately, it was far from the case Saturday afternoon as the Aggies rocked the Warriors 51-31.
The Warriors received a welcomed boost prior to kickoff when it was announced that quarterback Chevan Cordeiro would return to the starting lineup.
