Hawaii committed five turnovers (three interceptions, two fumbles) which led to Arizona's dominant 40-6 win. This is a critical area to address before facing Sam Houston.
Freshman QB Micah Alejado left the game in the third quarter with a right ankle injury, after a similar issue in the previous week. His status for next week is uncertain, which could force backup Luke Weaver into action.
Arizona exploited Hawaii's secondary with big plays, including a 54-yard touchdown run and a 41-yard punt return. The defense must tighten coverage and tackling to compete against Sam Houston.
Despite some competitive moments, Hawaii managed only two field goals and struggled to sustain drives, partly due to dropped passes and the turnovers. The offense needs to find rhythm and protect the ball.
Hawaii hosts Sam Houston on September 6. To bounce back, they must clean up turnovers, get healthy at QB, and shore up pass defense against a team that will test them.
