HONOLULU — Bryant Moniz threw four touchdowns and Leon
Wright-Jackson ran for a career-best 167 yards and three scores
to help Hawaii snap a six-game losing streak with a 49-36
victory over Utah State on Saturday night.

Greg Salas had 10 catches for 187 yards and two TDs for the
Warriors (3-6, 1-5 Western Athletic Conference), who were in the
midst of their longest losing streak since going 0-12 in 1998.

Alex Green added 110 yards rushing on 10 carries, giving
pass-heavy Hawaii its first pair of 100-yard rushers since
Johnny Macon (141) and Brett Washington (106) in 1995.

The loss was the 12th straight on the road for the Aggies (2-7,
1-4), who had no answer for Hawaii’s air-and-ground attack.

The 49-point, 697-yard outburst was the best this year for
Hawaii.

Moniz was 21 of 37 for 337 yards, earning his first victory in
four starts.
