HONOLULU -- Micah Alejado threw two touchdown passes and Kansei Matsuzawa made three field goals -- including a 38-yarder as time expired -- as Hawaii outlasted Stanford 23-20 on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.
Matsuzawa's last kick spoiled the debut of Cardinal interim Frank Reich, a former NFL head coach, who was hired by one of his former quarterbacks, Andrew Luck, in March. Luck, the Cardinal's new football general manager, is conducting a national search for a permanent coach following the offseason firing of Troy Taylor.
