HONOLULU (AP) --- DeVon Rice had two rushing touchdowns, Tama Uiliata had 10
receptions for 107 yards and threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to cap the scoring,

Audric Harris had 105 yards receiving and Kainoa Carvalho had nine receptions
for 82 yards.
Uiliata took a direct snap on fourth-and-4 and his scoring strike to Frank

third-and-2 and connected with Uiliata for a 16-yard gain on third-and-15
earlier in the drive.

Hawaii (1-2) is 12-1 against the Aggies, 8-0 at home.

returned it 85 yards for a touchdown that made it 19-all when Ilya Uvaydov
missed the PAT attempt early in the third quarter. Sean Olvera-Harle kicked a
33-yard field goal that capped an 11-play, 57-yard drive about 4 1/2 minutes
