Arizona State vs. Hawaii Football: October 10, 2026
Arizona State beat Hawaii 30–12 on October 10, 2026, at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe. The Sun Devils scored in every quarter and held a 24–6 lead entering the fourth. Hawaii added a late touchdown, but the margin remained comfortable. This recap covers Arizona State versus the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, not any University of Arizona matchup.
Arizona State–Hawaii score by quarter
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Final |
| Hawaii | 3 | 3 | 0 | 6 | 12 |
| Arizona State | 7 | 10 | 7 | 6 | 30 |
Hawaii kicked two first-half field goals. Arizona State replied with a first-quarter touchdown, added a rushing touchdown and field goal in the second quarter, then extended its lead on a long run after halftime. Hawaii's touchdown came in the fourth, when Arizona State was already more than two scores ahead.
Four key scoring sequences
Arizona State first reached the end zone on an 18-yard pass from Cutter Boley to Reed Harris in the opening quarter. Cardae Mack scored on a one-yard run during the second period, and Carson Smith added a 47-yard field goal shortly before halftime for a 17–6 lead. In the third, Mack broke a 67-yard touchdown run that pushed the margin to 24–6. Those plays created the cushion that shaped the last quarter.
Hawaii quarterback Micah Alejado later connected with Audric Harris for a 32-yard touchdown in the fourth. Arizona State answered late when Boley found Reed Harris again, this time from nine yards out. The official scoring summary provides a cleaner account of the game's momentum than simply listing the two teams' final scores.
Why the late Hawaii touchdown did not signal a comeback
A touchdown reduces the margin only if there is enough time and the opponent cannot score again. Hawaii's fourth-quarter completion showed it could produce a scoring drive, but ASU already had a strong advantage and responded with more points. The 30–12 result should therefore be read as a game in which Arizona State established a multi-possession lead, not as a last-minute thriller.
The 67-yard Mack run is especially useful for evaluating the flow of the game. One explosive play can add seven points quickly, but it should not be treated as proof that all the team's running plays were equally effective. A richer analysis would compare the team's overall rushing attempts and net yards in the full box score.
