College football fans can win tickets to three major games through Audacy radio promotions across Texas.

A separate drawing offers Texas Renaissance Festival passes valid through late November.
In earlier college action, San Jose State defeated Hawaii 20–16 on October 3 in their 48th meeting for the Dick Tomey Legacy Trophy. The win marked the Spartans' sixth straight victory in the series and improved their all-time record to 25–22–1 against the Rainbow Warriors.
San Jose State Dominates Hawaii on Dick Tomey Night
San Jose State beat Hawaii 20–16 at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex on October 3 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The Spartans' rushing and receiving advantages proved decisive. Quarterback sources and the offense controlled the game despite Hawaii gaining 438 total yards. Hawaii quarterback Micah Alejado said after the loss: "Obviously, we're not in the best place right now as a team."
Hawaii falls to 1–4 overall and 0–3 in Mountain West Conference play. The loss severely damages their title hopes. San Jose State's sixth straight victory in the series cements their dominance under head coach Ken Niumatalolo, the second Polynesian head coach of a major college program.
Washington–USC Game Expected to Be Low-Scoring Defensive Battle
College football analysts predict a tight, low-scoring matchup between Washington and USC. Washington's disciplined defense is favored to frustrate USC's passing attack. Audacy noted concerns about USC's secondary and retooled receiving corps entering the contest. The defensive strength on both sides should keep scoring down.
Washington's proven defense gives the Huskies an edge on paper. USC must overcome personnel questions in the secondary and at receiver. A defensive slugfest appears likely, with field position and turnovers deciding the outcome rather than high-scoring plays.
Audacy Ticket Giveaways Span Three Major College Games
Audacy is running three separate ticket promotions across Texas radio markets. The Texas A&M–The Citadel text-entry contest runs October 5–9, with up to 10 on-air keywords broadcasted. One winner receives two tickets to the October 17 game at Kyle Field. The Houston–Oklahoma State call-in contest selects five winners, each getting four tickets to TDECU Stadium on October 17.
A Texas Renaissance Festival drawing offers four tickets to a select day plus one VIP parking pass. Tickets are valid October 10 through November 29, including Thanksgiving Friday. The contest rules specify some administrative details differently—mentioning both five total winners and up to ten potential selections. Winners must complete mobile-ticketing requirements to claim prizes.
Dick Tomey Legacy Trophy and the Spartans' Streak
The Dick Tomey Legacy Trophy honors the late coach who led both Hawaii (1977–1986) and San Jose State (2005–2009). Tomey compiled a 63–46–3 record at Hawaii and coached San Jose State to a 9-win season in 2006. The annual matchup between these schools keeps his legacy alive in college football.
San Jose State now holds a 25–22–1 edge in the all-time series. Their recent dominance—six consecutive wins—reflects strong coaching continuity and offensive execution. Head coach Ken Niumatalolo and offensive coordinator Craig Stutzmann have built a program that consistently outmatches Hawaii at the line of scrimmage.
