Wyoming vs. Hawaii live stream: TV schedule, game guide, and odds
Late night football hits the islands once again.
Troy Babbitt-USA TODAY Sports
This is Hawaii's first home game since Sept. 14th against Northern Iowa, which was also their only win of the season to date. The Warriors have struggled mightily thus far, but to be fair, three of their four losses have been to Pac-12 teams. The offense, in particular, has been one of the worst in the country, putting up less than 20 points per game. Head coach Norm Chow said that backup quarterback Taylor Graham, an Ohio State transfer, was taking some snaps this week, but did not say for sure whether he would be starting in front of Ikaika Woolsey. Woolsey is completing only 45% of his passes so far this season.
Wyoming, meanwhile, enters this game with a bit more certainty. They’re 3-2 in the first year of the Craig Bohl regime, and their two losses came to Oregon and Michigan State. However, despite having a much nicer looking record than Hawaii, they look pretty similar statistically on both sides of the ball, and have yet to win a game by more than five points.

The numbers
Rankings and records: Wyoming enters the game at 3-2 and in first place in the Mountain West Mountain division. Hawaii, meanwhile, is 1-4, and is entering conference play this week after five games due to their 13 game schedule.
Vegas: The Warriors opened as three point favorites, but that line has gone up to five. The over/under is 46.
Weather forecast: Mostly sunny with a high of 85.
Two things at stake
For Wyoming, they have a chance to maintain their hold on first place in the Mountain division. They are 1-0 so far, and ahead of Boise State, who has somehow already played three conference games and is at 2-1 in the MWC. The Mountain division is the home to the majority of the tougher teams in the conference, so it’s unlikely that Wyoming can keep their lead, but if they want to, they have to win this game.
This game represents an opportunity for Hawaii to turn their season around. They haven’t played a home game in nearly a month, and this is their first really winnable game in a while. A bowl game is probably overly optimistic, but there are games left on the schedule that they can win.
One big matchup
Look to see who the Warriors roll out at quarterback. As noted earlier, Norm Chow has said that Taylor Graham could see a start after Ikaika Woolsey struggled to start the year.
