And is Hawaii vs Umass the match up of the two schools the furthest away from each other in college football history?
It would have to be, right?
I think Hawaii's opener in Sydney last year was about the same distance away from Honolulu.

The three farthest distances are
Hawaii to Amherst vs UMass - 5,006 miles
Hawaii to Piscataway vs Rutgers - 4,935 miles
Hawaii to Philadelphia vs Temple - 4,908 miles
Their trip to Sydney was 5,071 miles. Cal had to travel 7,430 miles from Berkley.
Rice will be going 8,581 miles for their game in Sydney against Stanford who themselves are 7,419 miles away.
I know there were a few games in Tokyo too but I'm too lazy to look those up.

And then Hawaii played AT Michigan the following week! Cal took the week off, as are Rice and Stanford this year.
