Well I know I'm probably gonna catch a lot of heat for what I'm about to say but oh well here goes. As of right now, I show Bama at -16 1/2 and to be honest I think thats too much. After looking at every aspect of this matchup, I have Hawaii winning straight up. Yes I know we're talking about a team that has a non existent defense but based on the changes they made from last year, I think that they should improve at least a little. As for Bama, they lost many key players in their defense and I think Hawaii can move the ball through the air. Alabama has only 1 returning starter in their secondary which is probably their biggest obstacle other than the fact that they lost about a half dozen guys total in their defense. On the flip side Hawaii has all their offensive weapons returning including:
-Colt Brennan...Even though he plays for Hawaii, he is definitely one of the best qb's in the nation.
-Davon Bess/Ryan Grice-Mullen...2,000+ yds receiving combined and 26 td's
-Jason Rivers...Back from his injury last year he should run accurate routes as the left wideout
Yeah I know that defense wins the game and I too believe that but only to a certain extent. Alabama's d will be better than Hawaii's and there is no disputing that. It boils down to offense and who can score more points. My score?
