Hawaii shocks Stanford with walk-off FG: Rainbow Warriors mount late comeback for exhilarating victory to kick off 2025 season.

What a thrilling moment for Hawaii as kicker Kansei Matsuzawa drilled a clutch 38-yard field goal with no time left, securing the Rainbow Warriors' first victory over a Power Four team since 2019! Ending a disheartening streak of nine straight losses against such opponents, Hawaii (1-0) showcased resilience after Stanford (0-1) initially jumped to a 10-0 lead. With standout performances, including WR Pofele Ashlock’s nine catches for 69 yards and a touchdown, and Micah Alejado, Hawaii's quarterback, impressive 27 of 39 passing, Hawaii proved they’re not to be overlooked. Hawaii travels to Tucson to take on a soaring Arizona Wildcats team, while Stanford will idle for Labor Day weekend, preparing to clash with BYU for a Saturday night matchup in Provo on September 6th.
