In a thrilling first start, Hawaii Warriors quarterback Micah Alejado led the team to a 38-30 victory over New Mexico, throwing for 469 yards and five touchdowns. This win marked the end of Timmy Chang’s third season as head coach, with the team finishing 5-7 overall and 3-4 in the Mountain West conference. Alejado’s performance set single-game highs for an FBS freshman this season and showcased his skills as a talented young quarterback.
Alejado, a left-handed freshman, took over starting duties due to an injury to Brayden Schager and made the most of his opportunity with quick releases and accurate deep passes. The Warriors’ offense was adjusted to suit Alejado’s strengths, resulting in a successful game plan that helped secure the win. Despite the Lobos’ late comeback attempts, Alejado’s steady play and key passes led the team to victory.
With this exciting performance, Alejado has proven himself as a promising talent for the Warriors, and fans can look forward to seeing more from him in the seasons to come.
