The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa football team picked up a monumental win with a 27-24 come-from-behind upset of No. 18 Fresno State Saturday, October 2 at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex. The Rainbow Warriors improved to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in the Mountain West with their fourth straight Homecoming win.<\/p>\n

The conference match-up had not favored the Warriors, who dropped eight out of the last 10 to the Bulldogs but the defense stepped up big forcing six turnovers. Safety Khoury Bethley<\/strong> led the way with two interceptions and a critical forced fumble, which set up the game-winning field goal by Matthew Shipley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This was UH<\/abbr>\u2019s first win over a ranked opponent in more than a decade and snapped a six-game home losing streak to the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Freshman quarterback Braeden Schager<\/strong> started his first career game in place of an injured Chevan Cordeiro<\/strong> and threw two fourth quarter touchdowns to erase a 14-point deficit. Schager finished with 116 yards and touchdowns to Caleb Phillips<\/strong> and Calvin Turner Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bethley and Schager were recognized by the Mountain West for their performances and all-purpose back Turner was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

The Warriors will now enjoy a bye before returning to action on Saturday, October 16 for another nationally-televised matchup at Nevada. Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. HST<\/abbr>.<\/abbr><\/p>\n
