The Aztecs put themselves in an position to tie the game up with a last gasp march on the team's final drive, but Matt Araiza's 48 yard attempt at time expired missed wide right.

Jason-Matthew Sharsh put Hawaii on the board first on an eight yard reception for a score via Cole McDonald with 3:43 left in the opening quarter. From there, both offenses stalled for much of the second quarter untilAraiza put the Aztecs on the board with 18 seconds until the half on a 27 yard field goal.

Chevan Cordeiro took over at quarterback on the second drive of the second half for Hawaii and promptly orchestrated a 97 yard drive that culminated in a 11 yard run by Fred Holly III for what would be the game-winning score. In that drive, Cordeiro completed 3 of 6 passes for 28 yards and rushed four times for 53 more yards.

San Diego State scored its first and only touchdown in the early moments of the fourth quarter on a Ryan Agnew rush from 5 yards out with 12:58 left to play. Agnew then ran in the ensuing two point conversion to get the Aztecs within three points.

Sharsh had a career-high 10 receptions, and tallied a team-high 95 yards in the win for the Warriors, which marked the second straight for the Warriors over the Aztecs, but the first at home since 2005.
