FINAL SCORE: Wyoming 27, Hawaii 20
The modern version of the Paniolo Trophy – the original was misplaced between 1999 and 2012 – will be the prize when Wyoming and Hawaii meet in today’s Mountain West football game at the Ching Complex. UH announced a sale.
The Warriors are 2-6 overall and 1-2 in the Mountain West, with both league losses decided by final full possession of opposing teams. The Warriors must win their last five games to avoid a second straight regular season below .500.
It’s going to be a tough game between Wyoming’s running game (60.7% of offensive snaps are engineered rushes) and the Warriors’ improved rushing defense (average 137.7 rushing yards allowed last three games) . Titus Swen and Da’Qualen “DQ” James are the 1-2 combo at running back for the Cowboys. James originally committed to UH in 2020, but after a backlog he signed with Wyoming.
A few keys:
> In an unwitting quarterback trade, Utah State’s Andrew Peasley went to Wyoming and UW’s Levi Williams ended up with the Aggies. Peasley is a dual threat as the Cowboys’ starting QB.
Defensive end DaVonne Harris has seven of the Cowboys’ 25 sacks.
> Logan Taylor of UH will make his second start in place of injured linebacker Isaiah Tufaga. Taylor had a career-high 16 tackles against Colorado State last week.
