Summary

San Jose State junior guard Ailao Eliapo will represent every younger brother who wanted to prove his mettle to an older brother.

Across from him, playing defensive tackle for the Utes, senior Kenape Eliapo will fight for every older brother who wanted to keep a younger brother in his place.

"One is not backing away from the other," said their father, Kenape Sr. "There's no backing down."

The brothers, who went to South San Francisco High, have known about the matchup for months.

"I told him to bring his 'A' game. I'm going to bring my game." Kenape Jr. said.

What an epic battle. Big brother Eliapo is playing for little sister against his little brother on behalf of big brother's everywhere. As a fan of Utah's big brother, I self interestedly wish you luck.
