Impact Mateer's streak of back-to-back 300-plus passing games ended against Fresno State. In addition, it was the first game this season the sophomore did not throw a touchdown pass.

Mateer might have a better time running the ball than throwing the ball against Hawaii on Oct. 19. The Rainbow Warriors defense is a bit tougher against the pass than the run.
