The trip to Hawaii was anything but a vacation for the Aztecs. The season was on the line as well as questions to the teams identity and coaching staff. In front of a small, partisan crowd of 10,039 fans, the Aztecs showed they belong at least in the bowl picture. The Aztecs (3-4, 1-2 MWC) held on with a strong and consistent performance against the much improved Hawaii Warriors (2-5, 0-2 MWC). New players emerged as well as several players we haven’t heard much from. Wide receiver Mekhi Shaw returned from injury and caught 6 balls for 126 yards and a score and running back Cam Davis carried 10 times for 53 yards.
