Notes:
- My bad on the Over 58 call in the UNLV game. Correctly called that UH would continue their offensive roll as they piled on nearly 600 yards of total offense on UNLV, and scored exactly what I predicted, 42 points. However, I misjudged UNLV's ability to score with an injured QB (Hinds). Why Hinds was left in the game when it was obvious to everyone he was playing injured was beyond me......It hurts a bit when Hawaii failed to score on the 1 yard line.....and let everyone, including the cheerleaders play in the fourth quarter....
- Hawaii's rush defense is very good this year....It could be the best I have seen 20 years......
. In two games, Hawaii has yielded a mere 164 yards on 64 carries (2.56 ypc). Our front 7 is big, athletic,fast, and has some depth.....
- An interesting note (that has nothing to do with capping the game), for those that will watch this game on ESPN GamePlan this weekend...... Hawaii in pre-game warmups has started doing the traditional war dance/chat "haka" that many of you have seen on YouTube, made famous by the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Team. When I first heard about this, I thought "wtf".....I gotta admit, it is impressive to see, and it is here to stay....When 60 Black Uniformed Players Lined up and started a war chant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama it was amazing....Coach Mike Shula of Alabama noted, "That is impressive, and shows some serious team unity. Hawaii has got to keep it....."
My Pick and Reason Why:
Two years ago, I called Hawaii to lose by over 40 points at Boise as 24 point underdogs.....they lost by 66 points.....69 to 3.......
I am placing my bet early.....I think it may go against me......
No one ever wins on the Smurf Turf.......BUT HAWAII WILL......
Hawaii +14
- I was at Hawaii's Loss to Boise last year 44-41......Hawaii outgained, out first downed, and outplayed Boise in every area......except for special teams, where Hawaii had a punt blocked and an extra point blocked and returned for 2 points (the deciding difference).....
- Boise State QB Jared Zabransky is now in his fourth year, the amazing thing is he keeps getting worse....His TD to interception ratio is even.....read the Boise press, even the fans are grumbling......time for him to get out.....
- Boise State's main weapon will be RB Ian Johnson, sure he looked like Barry Sanders against a putrid Oregon State defense on ESPN......but last week, Wyoming showed he is human.......trust me.....Hawaii is going to eat this guy up, the way they did Kenneth Darby......Hawaii seriously has a fast front 7.....Boise with not run rough shod over Hawaii......not even close......
- You guys know it and I know it.....Hawaii will score a ton on Boise.......Hawaii returns EVERYONE that put up 556 yards and 41 points on Boise Last Year.......
- Hawaii is healthy and is coming off of a vacation game against UNLV.......revenge is on their minds....
As someone noted about Hawaii (credit to them, cant remember their handle), teams coming off of losing season, that played a tough schedule, and have a ton of returning starters, often have the value on them.....The oddsmakers have not caught up to Hawaii yet as being a very good team.....
Hawaii +14 1100 to win 1000
Hawaii ML 100 to win 420
