Weaver throws 2 TD passes, San Jose State wins 6th straight against Hawaii, 20-16
Weaver completed 19 of 28 passes for 246 yards as San Jose State converted two Hawaii turnovers into 10 points.
On Saturday night, San Jose State opened Mountain West Conference play with a 20-16 victory over Hawaii at Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex, extending the Spartans' winning streak to six consecutive wins over the Rainbow Warriors.
Spartans quarterback Luke Weaver rebounded from four interceptions two weeks ago against Fresno State by completing 19 of 28 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns in the victory.
Weaver threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kamaehu Kopa-Kaawalauole and a 12-yard scoring strike to receiver Carson Clark; San Jose State's defense recorded interceptions by defensive backs Jayden Robertson and Caleb Womack.
Despite a second-half rally powered by receiver Devin Alves, who caught a 58-yard touchdown pass, Hawaii fell to 1-4 overall when a final pass was deflected with three seconds remaining.
The Spartans return home next Friday to host Wyoming at CEFCU Stadium at 6 p.m. for their first conference home game, while the Warriors prepare to visit Arizona State next Saturday.
