Expectations are at a higher level for the University of Hawaii football team and Timmy Chang, who begins his fourth season as UH head coach today against Stanford at Ching Complex. Chang is searching for his first win against a power conference team as Hawaii looks to build off a 5-7 campaign last season.

Micah Alejado’s toughness and Kansei Matsuzawa’s clutch kick lifted the Rainbow Warriors past Stanford in dramatic fashion.

Series history: Stanford leads 4-0. The Cardinal has beaten Hawaii by at least 11 points in all four previous matchups, including a 37-24 win to open the 2023 season. Hawaii will play at Stanford in 2026 and 2030.
