Hawaii beats UNLV 38-21, keeps Island Showdown Trophy

2020 has been a long and turbulent year for many, some more than others. Football is just a game, one we’re glad Hawaii was able to play in its entirety. Over the past few weeks, college football has seen the bowl season shrink seemingly day-by-day. One of those bowl games that was canceled was the Hawaii Bowl. The Hawaii Warriors knew coming into Saturday’s game that while a 4-4 record would make the Warriors bowl eligible, it’s unlikely Hawaii is leaving the island again this season. The season finale against UNLV featured a trophy at stake, and this was Hawaii’s last hurrah in a truly awful year.
