SCORE: New Mexico State 7, Hawaii 0, Q1

——

6:30 p.m.: Hawaii goes three-and-out as Jalen Walthall catches a flip from Schager but maybe ran a tad backwards and is short of the marker by less than a yard. Ball at the 29 and UH doesn’t even think about it and sends the punt team out there. Some happy feet back there at QB as Schager isn’t waiting long to take off. Looks a little rattled.

6:25 p.m.: Sophomore Monte Watkins breaks five tackles on a 39-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Diego Pavia. Those tackle attempts left a lot to be desired by UH. NMSU 7, HAW 0, 7:17, Q1.

6:14 p.m.: Hawaii quarterback Brayden Schager completes his first three passes for 15 yards but is pressured on third down and is well short of the marker on a scramble. UH punts from near midfield.

6:10 p.m.: Welcome back, Cam Stone. Beautifull pass breakup on third down and NMSU goes three-and-out to start.

6:05 p.m.: Hawaii wins the toss and will defer to the second half. Aggies will get the ball first.
