RWP = Rainbow Warrior Perspective
The battle for the Pineapple Trophy may only be a few years old, but Hawaii and UNLV have been playing against each other in football for decades. Most of the contests go down to the wire, memorable football games. Hawaii entered the Las Vegas Raiders’ stadium as double-digit underdogs, but rarely has Hawaii been defeated comfortably by the Rebels.
On Saturday, Hawaii was gashed for 307 rushing yards on the ground by the Rebels’ rushing attack on the path to a 44-20 loss, Hawaii’s worst loss to the Rebels since 1974 when Hawaii lost 33-8.
