The University of Hawai‘i's home football game against Navy on Nov. 28 at Aloha Stadium will begin at 5:30 p.m., a half-hour ahead of the original starting time and will be televised on ESPNU.

The Warriors and Navy have met once before, with Hawai‘i prevailing 48-41 in 1999 in Honolulu.
UH's game against Louisiana Tech game on Sept. 30 will be televised on ESPN2 and the regular season finale against Wisconsin on Dec. 5 is scheduled to be on ESPN or ESPN2.
"With three national TV games this season, it’ll showcase our football program and the entire state of the Hawai‘i," UH athletic director Jim Donovan said in a statement.
Navy is led by former UH football player and assistant coach Ken Niumatalolo, who is in his second year as head coach.
"We’re excited that Ken has the opportunity to return to his home state as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of our football program this season,” Donovan said.
