Running game key for SDSU to keep Hawaii’s quick-strike offense off the field

San Diego State football (2-3, 1-0 Mountain West) is experiencing déjà vu as it heads to Honolulu to take on the University of Hawaii (2-3, 0-1 MW) this Saturday.

It was just last season that the Aztecs entered their game against the Rainbow Warriors looking for their first back-to-back wins while also coming off their best defensive performance in terms of yards allowed a week prior.

“Physically, talent-wise, these two teams are as equal as they can be,” SDSU head coach Rocky Long said. “The unique thing is travelling to Hawaii to play there.“

When SDSU — and any opponent, for that matter — travels to play in Hawaii, it not only has to prepare for the game, but prepare for the time change, as well.
