Hawaii

So, I'm pretty nervous about this game. They could move the ball last year. Thank goodness for a few turnovers. POKES are reeling. Our secondary has been tested and haven't held against good offenses.

Our offense has to keep pace and Nico has to go off in this game. We lose handily in a shoot out. If we can establish the run, we'll have a shot. Not confident but hoping we turn the page on the disastrous past few weeks.

Being in a shootout would be a great sign for the offense. This might be a bit of a breakout offensively, in that case the d will win it

I like your optimism guys. I agree with both of you. We can move the ball against these guys. Their defense may be the most dismal D we have seen since New Mexico state. We really need this one.

Their defense is awful... so we might score 3 times.

Hawaii 38 - Wyoming 20

Hawaii starts two true freshman on the OL. If the DL can't recapture its 2017 form this week, it won't in 2018.

Will TV be available for this game?

Is Hawaii's D better or worse than Wofford's? This game is hard to predict

Hawaii has the #105 ranked total defense in the country (Wyoming is #76).
Hawaii is ranked #69 on rushing defense (Wyoming is #46).
Hawaii is ranked #110 on passing yards allowed at 279 yards/game (Wyo is #98 with 256 yards/game).

Here's the stats that should be of concern:
Hawaii is ranked #17 on total offense with 496 yards/game (Wyo is #121 with 302 yards/game).
Hawaii is ranked #94 in rushing offense with 135 yards/game (Wyo is #96 with 142 yards/game).
Hawaii is ranked #6 in passing offense with 351 yards/game (Wyo is #116 with 160 yards/game).

Hawaii will test Wyoming's corners, and if the D line does not get pressure, this one could get really ugly really fast. Traveling to the islands is never an easy trip. While the line is Hawaii -3, this one could end up with Hawaii winning by 30. If it is a shootout, Wyoming will lose this big.
