The article predicts an upcoming college football game between San Jose State and Hawaii, scheduled for a late-night kickoff on Saturday at midnight ET in Honolulu. It notes that Hawaii's team performance has declined significantly this season, ranking poorly in both offensive and defensive statistics compared to previous years, while San Jose State presents a threat with their running back Jabari Bates. The author recommends betting on San Jose State as underdogs (+133 odds), citing the homecoming angle for former players now coaching or playing at San Jose State and Hawaii’s struggling defense and offense.

Story summary
In a midnight ET kickoff in Honolulu, San Jose State defeated Hawaii 20-16, extending their winning streak against the Rainbow Warriors to six games. The game was played at Hawaii's home field, but coach Ken Niumatalolo of San Jose State had previously played for Hawaii in the late 80s. His quarterback, Luke Weaver, threw two touchdowns and completed 19-of-28 passes for 246 yards. Despite Micah Alejado throwing for 338 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, Hawaii struggled to score consistently against San Jose State's defense. The win improves San Jose State’s record to 3-2 in the Mountain West Conference while Hawaii falls to 1-4.
