The Mountain West-leading San Diego State Aztecs head back on the road to face Hawaii at 8 p.m. Saturday at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex in Honolulu. The game will air in San Diego on ABC 10. 

The Aztecs (7-1, 4-0 Mountain West) are looking to extend their winning streak to seven games and eclipse the 7-1 start of the 2021 team, which finished the season with a school-record 12 wins (12-2).

The Aztecs are coming off a 24-7 home win against Wyoming. However, it came with a cost: linebacker and team co-captain Tano Letuli suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Hawaii (6-3, 3-2) lost a 48-35 shootout at San Jose State last Saturday night. 

“We've got to do a great job limiting their throwing game,” coach Sean Lewis said. “They're going to generate explosive plays. That's who they are and the job that they do. We've got to do a really good job in the red zone. The past couple of weeks, we've had way too many opportunities that were empty possessions in the red zone, where we've left points on the board.”

What’s at stake

The Aztecs vaulted into the MW lead by beating Wyoming a few hours after Boise State was stunned 30-7 at home by Fresno State. 

After facing Hawaii, the Aztecs return home to host Boise State and San Jose State, and then finish on the road against New Mexico, which is bowl eligible under first-year coach Jason Eck.

This will be the final time the teams meet as members of the MW before SDSU jumps to the reworked Pac-12 next season, along with Boise State, Utah State, Fresno State and Colorado State. 

However, the teams on Monday announced a home-and-home series for 2028 and 2029.
