Stanford beats Hawaii 37-27 on Saturday as Micah Ford scores a late touchdown to secure the win after a fourth-quarter surge by the Rainbow Warriors. Ford’s go-ahead score is a 2-yard run with 1:41 remaining.
The game features a second-half comeback by Hawaii that erases a large Stanford advantage. Multiple late scores by Hawaii narrow the gap from Stanford’s earlier 23-7 lead to a 27-23 advantage for Hawaii entering the final stretch. Stanford then responds with a late drive that results in Ford’s touchdown.
Both reports describe this as the first game under new Stanford head coach Tavita Pritchard. Davis Warren throws for 310 yards and a touchdown in his debut for the Cardinal and leads the decisive late drive after Hawaii scores three times in the fourth quarter. Overall, outlets align on the final score, the timing and nature of Ford’s late TD, and Hawaii’s late-game turnaround.
