Hawaii opened the game with a 70-yard touchdown pass from Micah Alejado to Jackson Harris, but the offense struggled to sustain drives afterward, managing only a field goal in the second quarter and no points in the second half.
Micah Alejado completed 15 of 24 passes for 163 yards with one touchdown and one interception, showing flashes but also inconsistency that limited the team's scoring potential.
Hawaii's defense allowed 38 points and 253 passing yards, failing to contain UNLV's quarterback Anthony Colandrea, who threw three touchdowns, and also gave up a 27-yard rushing touchdown late in the game.
The loss dropped Hawaii to 7-4 overall and 4-3 in the Mountain West, ending their hopes of staying in a tie for second place and putting pressure on them to finish strong against Wyoming.
Hawaii will host Wyoming on November 29 to close the regular season, needing a win to improve their bowl positioning and end the season on a positive note after this defeat.
