Brayden Schager scores four touchdowns in Hawaii's win over Nevada

Hawaii quarterback Brayden Schager scored four touchdowns and the Hawaii football team earned its first win over an FBS opponent this season with a 34-13 win over Nevada tonight at Ching Complex.

9,538 spectators watched Schager become the first Rainbow Warrior to score four touchdowns in a game since Alex Green in 2010. He tied the record for a quarterback with Glenn Freitas, who did it twice in 1995, and Ivin Jasper, who did it once in 1993.

Hawaii (3-5, 1-2 Mountain West), which entered the game averaging less than 100 yards per game on the ground this season, rushed for a season-high 242 yards on 42 attempts.

Schager finished the game with 120 rushing yards on 19 carries and Landon Sims added 82 yards on nine attempts, an average of more than 9 yards per carry.

Hawaii had scored three touchdowns in its first seven games of the season. The first two wins this season came against FCS members Delaware State and Northern Iowa.
