Head-to-head: Hawaii leads the overall series 22-20-1 over San Jose State. The lone tie was back in 1991.
Spartan head coach Brent Brennan’s only win so far in four tries against the Rainbow Warriors was last year’s 35-24 triumph in Honolulu, while on their way to their first MWC title.
The rivalry factor
Hawaii probably has more rivals than most Mountain West teams. Perhaps it’s a product of being 3,000 miles away or perhaps it’s the angst from a history of oppression that needs to be paid back.
