Oregon holds the the lead in the all-time series between the two teams with a record of 4-3 against Hawaii. The Ducks have lost three straight against the Mountain West program by a combined score of 101-45. 

The Rainbow Warriors hold a 1-2 record heading into Saturday's game. Their only win on the season is a 31-20 win over Albany at home in week 2.

The Hawaii offense is led by junior Brayden Schager, a 6-foot-3, 225-pound quarterback from Dallas. He finished their week 2 game completing 23 of his 40 passes for 266 yards and 4 touchdowns against 3 interceptions. 

He was sacked five times and recorded nine carries for -27 rushing yards. 

Schager does bring some experience to the table, starting 10 of 12 games for Hawaii in 2022 en route to a 3-10 overall record in 2022, which included a 2-6 record against Mountain West teams.
