It was an epic Christmas Eve for Rainbow Warrior football fans! The ‘Bows topped long time rival BYU 38-34 in a thriller at Aloha Stadium to win the SoFi Hawai’i Bowl. Hawai’i’s Cole McDonald threw for a career-high 493 yards, which ranks No. 2 in Hawai’i Bowl history behind Colt Brennan’s 559 yards against Arizona State in 2006. McDonald had no interceptions and found seven different receivers in an MVP night.
