Tonight’s matchup against UNLV at Allegiant Stadium is essentially a knockout game for the loser. Hawaii (7-3, 4-2 Mountain West ) and UNLV (8-2, 4-2 ) are two of the five two-loss teams in conference play, looking up at first-place San Diego State, which suffered its only MWC loss to Hawaii two weeks ago, 38-6.

The Rainbow Warriors and Rebels will meet for the 35th time in a series that began in 1969. UH leads the all-time series, 19-15, however, UNLV holds an 11-6 advantage in games played in Las Vegas.

Hawaii has scored 30 or more points in five straight games, which is the program’s longest such streak since a six-game run spanning the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Over the last five games, the UH offense has averaged 39.0 points, 365.6 passing yards, and 479.6 yards of total offense.

Kickoff is set for 5 :30 p.m.
