Hawaii's Dramatic Comeback and Brawl in Hawaii Bowl Victory
Hawaii staged a dramatic comeback in the Hawaii Bowl, overcoming a 21-point deficit to beat Cal 35-31 with a last-minute touchdown, despite losing their starting quarterback. The game ended with a postgame fight after a series of late-game events, including a fumble and multiple shoves. Hawaii's freshman quarterback Micah Alejado played a key role in the comeback, and the victory marked Hawaii's first winning season since 2019.
