Traditional look as always for The Commonwealth against conference foe Ohio A&M. Need to put together a run to join the playoff chase. 

Additionally, PCU will always be known as the Big Blue but we are starting the process of finding a nickname for our athletic programs. Welcome to ideas for this extremely old, Benjamin Franklin founded university.

With the Hawks win over the Lakers in Minnesota, we next head to Wichita, Kansas to play the 29ers. Wichita A&M has been a thorn in the side of the Hawks (and weirdly enough, also the Wisconsin State Wolfpack and Florida Panhandle Jellyfish) and we're looking to notch a big win this week. With Lone Star, Michigan Institutional and Minnesota A&M a game back in the conference standings, and two of those teams playing, we're looking to get some separation before bowl season. We'll be in the all white look, as usual, for this road game in what is forecasted to be a beautiful mid-70s day with plenty of sunshine. Our featured player is running back Micah Bernard, who has stepped up to be the top back for the Hawks this season and coming off a day where he had 129 yards on the ground, another 61 through the air, and a touchdown to top it all off. #FlyingHI

Lone Star had our number, handing us a loss and putting us in a rough spot to gain bowl eligibility. We need to win two out of the next three games to get to .500 and make another bowl without any extra shenanigans like last year. We'll start our final run on the road against Twin Cities, who even though they're winless on the year doesn't mean they won't be easy. Featured for this week is senior QB Hajj-Malik Williams, who threw for 233 yards and 3 TD's as well as putting 65 yards on the ground. #BringTheBoom

Following week 8, we have four teams that have reached the 6 win threshold and have guaranteed themselves a bowl game: the Hawaii State Hawks, the Hallows Headless Horsemen, the Hershey Wildcats, and the Johns Island Angels.

Two teams have clinched spots in the playoffs, the Hawaii State Hawks and the Hallows Headless Horsemen.

Only one team is completely eliminated, with the inability to move into the top 8 and an inability to move into a top two spot in their conference, that being the Ohio A&M Fightin' Muskrats.

The Hawks went to Kansas last week and knocked off the 29ers from Wichita A&M to move to 8-0 on the season. We're back in Honolulu for this one as we face our only opponent in the regular season from Canada, Riel. The Rebels are coming in at 3-5 and need to win out to get a bowl game, so we know they'll be hungry for a win in this one. We'll be in the all white look, as usual, with the white helmet, white jersey, and white pants. Meanwhile, our featured player for this week is freshman running back Caden Durham, who had 108 total yards and three touchdowns last week. #FlyingHI
