Stanford secured a 37-27 victory over Hawaii in Tavita Pritchard's head coaching debut, thanks to a career-best performance from quarterback Davis Warren. Warren threw for 310 yards and one touchdown, engineering a game-winning drive after Hawaii mounted a significant comeback.
Hawaii had erased a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, taking a 27-23 lead with just over four minutes remaining. However, a late fumble returned for a touchdown by Tevarua Tafiti sealed the win for Stanford, preventing Hawaii's potential second-straight season-opening victory.
Warren, making his first start since transferring from Michigan after a knee injury, completed 22 of 34 passes without turnovers. He connected on a 6-yard touchdown pass and set up two other scoring runs with long completions. Hawaii's Micah Alejado contributed 269 passing yards and two touchdowns during their fourth-quarter surge.
