Will attempt return on senior day Schager (knee) aims to suit up for Hawaii's final game of the regular season against New Mexico on Nov. 30, Brian McInnis of Spectrum News Hawaii reports.

Impact Schager went to the locker room against Utah State, and didn't manage to return to the game. The quarterback will have one more chance to play this season, as at 4-7, Hawaii has been eliminated from postseason contention. Schager will reportedly attempt to play against the Lobos.

Heads to locker room Saturday Schager went to the locker room following a hit in Saturday's game against Utah State, Jason Turner of The Herald Journal reports.

Impact It's unclear if Schager suffered a serious injury, but he was affected enough by the hit to be taken to the locker room straight away. This means true freshman Micah Alejado will play under center for the Rainbow Warriors if Schager doesn't return.

Rushes for four scores Schager completed 14 of 25 passes for 153 yards and an interception during Sunday's 34-13 victory over Nevada. He also had 19 rushes for 120 yards with four touchdowns.

Impact It certainly wasn't the typical line from Schager. With top wideout Pofele Ashlock hampered by an injury, the Warriors struggled to get much going through the air. However, Schager more than made up for it with his performance on the ground, topping 100 rushing yards for the first time in his collegiate career while punching in four short-yardage touchdowns. The senior quarterback has completed 60.5 percent of his passes for 1,941 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season while adding 211 yards and six scores on the ground.
