Boise State has won nine in a row against the Rainbow Warriors, including a 31-10 victory in the 2019 conference championship game.

After Hawaii again went three-and-out, Williams had a 36-yard punt return that set up the first of Van Buren's two 11-yard scoring runs to make it 33-9 midway through the third quarter.

Seven Broncos players did not play due to positive COVID-19 tests earlier Saturday and another five didn't make the trip due to contact tracing.
