Welcome back everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! Week 10 delivered one of the most unexpected results of the year, with Hawaii not only upsetting San Diego
State, but dismantling them by 32 points! We’ll break down how Timmy Chang and the Rainbow Warriors pulled it off, what went wrong for the Aztecs, and where both teams go from here as they continue to battle for the conference championship. Then, we’ll do an award race check-in, to see who has the inside track for the most prestigious titles in the Mountain West, followed by a segment on each team’s most important player to retain for the 2026 season. We’ll end the show with a preview and prediction for the consequential matchup of Boise State and San Diego State, who are both coming off of humbling losses but are just a win away from potentially locking in hosting rights. Big time episode this week, let’s dive right in!
