Micah Alejado led Hawaii football to a gritty Week 0 win over Stanford on Aug. 24 in Honolulu as he led the Rainbow Warriors offense down the field in the winding seconds of regulation to set up a game-winning 38-yard field goal from Kansei Matsuzawa.
Alejado did so while playing through an injury.
At the 12:41 mark of the third quarter, the redshirt freshman quarterback sustained an injury when he got banged up on a sack. He’d briefly exit the game before returning to pull off the 23-20 come-from-behind victory against the Cardinal.
Alejado dominated on the night overall for the Rainbow Warriors, as he completed 27 of 39 (69.2%) passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns while adding 36 rushing yards on 10 carries. He finished with no interceptions but did take four sacks, one that led to a fumble in Hawaii’s own end zone that led to a Stanford touchdown.
Hawaii’s 23-20 win over Stanford marked the first win over a Power 4 opponent for the Rainbow Warriors since 2019. It also marked the program’s first-ever win against Stanford.
Next up for Hawaii will be a trip to the mainland to face the Big 12’s Arizona Wildcats on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 10:30 p.m. ET at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona.
Here’s what to know about Alejado’s injury and how he performed vs. Stanford:
