For the final time as conference foes, Hawaii and Fresno State will play tonight at Ching Complex.
The Warriors will have their offensive leader back in the starting lineup. Quarterback Micah Alejado, who was held out of the past two games because of a deeply bruised right foot, worked exclusively with the first-team offense this week. While Luke Weaver is 2-0 and has lengthened the passing attack, Alejado has better command and more experience in the four-wide offense.
Alejado will work behind a fully healed offensive line. Center Ethan Spencer, who was in concussion protocol last week, is expected to start today. Right guard Kuao Peihopa was injured during Alejado’s two starts this season. Peihopa returned to the lineup two weeks ago while Alejado was mending. Wideout Jackson Harris, a Stanford transfer who did not play because of an ailment last week, might be available.
Wide receiver Nick Cenacle, who caught two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter of Hawaii’s 21-20 comeback win over Fresno State last year, will not play.
