In a close game against Hawaii, Stanford Cardinal quarterback Davis Warren threw for 310 yards and one touchdown in his debut, leading the team to a 37-27 victory on Saturday. The win marked the first game under new coach Tavita Pritchard. Hawaii tried to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, scoring three touchdowns to turn a 23-7 deficit into a 27-23 lead.
