The New Mexico Lobos are gearing up for an exciting matchup against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors on December 1, 2024. The game promises to be an intense battle as both teams look to improve their standings in the college football season. Fans eager to catch the action can tune in to the game at 7:00 PM HST, which will take place at the T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Lobos, under the guidance of head coach Danny Gonzales, arrive with a record of 6 wins and 5 losses, looking to secure a bowl game while the Rainbow Warriors, coached by Timmy Chang, stand at 3 wins and 9 losses this season. “Every game is crucial, and this one is no different,” said Gonzales in a pre-game statement. “We are focused on performing our best, and we’ll need all our players to step up against a tough Hawaii team.”
Those wanting to watch the game can find it broadcasted on Spectrum Sports and streamed online at ESPN+. Additionally, local radio stations such as 770 KKOB and 102.9 FM will provide live commentary. The Lobos will aim to exploit Hawaii’s weaknesses in defense, particularly after their last appearance against the San Jose State Spartans.
“The key will be maintaining our ground game and effectively using our passing opportunities,” Gonzales added. Meanwhile, Chang emphasized the need for his players to show resilience, saying, “We are looking to finish the season strong and show our fans that we can compete with some of the best teams in the nation.”
As the teams prepare, both sides are also dealing with injuries to key players. The Lobos are hoping to have their starting quarterback back in action, while Hawaii is strategizing with their second-string quarterback due to injuries faced by their star player. This matchup might be the last opportunity for both programs to make a statement before the off-season.
Fans are encouraged to show support for their teams, whether in person in Honolulu or watching from afar. This game not only holds implications for bowl placements but will also serve as a significant moment in both teams’ journeys this season.
