On Sunday afternoon, the Nevada Wolf Pack (4-3) will face the struggling offense of the Hawaii Warriors (2-5) in a Mountain West showdown. Last year, the Wolf Pack easily beat Hawaii 31-9 on their home field.

Last Saturday, Nevada scored 22 fourth-quarter points to come back and defeat BYU 42-35. They did give up 601 yards to BYU in that game, but they won the turnover battle 3-0.

Nevada has scored 30.4 points per game so far this season, but they have also given up 27.7 points per game. Senior quarterback Cody Fajardo has completed 62.3 percent of his passes this season for 1,686 yards, and he also has 452 rushing yards with a team-leading eight scores. Wide receiver Hasaan Henderson has caught 34 passes this year for 458 yards and two touchdowns.

Hawaii found the end zone just once in their game against San Diego State last Saturday and ended up losing 20-10. Their defense gave up 457 yards in that loss, while their offense turned the ball over three times.

Hawaii is usually known for its high-flying offense, but this year they are only averaging 21 points per game. Quarterback Ikaika Woolsey has thrown for 1,159 yards with six touchdowns, but he has only completed 48.8 percent of his passes. Running back Steven Lakalaka has 504 rushing yards with one touchdown, while Joey Iosefa leads the team with four rushing touchdowns.
