Hawaii outlasted Air Force 44-35 in a high-scoring shootout at Falcon Stadium, powered by quarterback Micah Alejado's three touchdown passes including two to Jackson Harris. The Rainbow Warriors maintained control throughout, building a 31-14 lead early in the fourth quarter before the teams combined for 34 points in an explosive final period. Despite a valiant comeback attempt featuring three second-half touchdowns from the Falcons, Hawaii sealed the victory with Matsuzawa's clutch 25-yard field goal in the final minute.
