The Hawaiʻi Bowl will feature South Florida facing San Jose State at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu, HI. The game is scheduled for Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET. The matchup will air on ESPN. San Jose State is favored by three points, while the over/under is set at 63.5.
The Spartans will have to run their offense without star wide receiver Nick Nash. The receiver has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft and in his absence, Justin Lockhart may see more targets coming his way.
