UH is gonna get the poi kicked out of them...now, if this were being played in Da Islez, UH would play them better than many would expect.

I'm looking at 24 points +/-3 points, something like 48-24...Hawaii will score on them, but BSU will torch their defense.

UH's offense has been on a nice roll for the last six games. The biggest surprise, in my eyes anyway, has been the play of the offensive line. The protection has been solid and for the first time in quite a while, there is the threat of the run. Alex Green has been productive at the running back spot, and Moniz (QB) scrambles effectively. The receiving corps is very good. Greg Salas is an excellent slot who's got a shot at the next level. Rodney Bradley is a big play guy who should be able to get open against Boise. One thing to watch for is how effective slotback Kealoha Pilares is on Saturday. When healthy, he's dangerous. Tweaked a hamstring last week and it sounds like he's going to play, but it sounds iffy. If Moniz gets time, UH will move the ball. The key will be punching it in when they get the chance.
The UH defense has played better this year, but I don't see them stopping Boise. They have to get pressure on Moore, so I see a lot of blitzing. Unfortunately, UH just doesn't have great athletes in the back seven. So regardless if it's man or zone blitz, I'm guessing that Boise will hit a couple of big plays. It would be nice if UH could force some turnovers, but Boise takes care of the ball pretty well.
Special teams could get ugly. Boise is better in every phase, and I won't be shocked if they make more than a few big plays in this area. UH's kickoff team (sound familiar?
) and punt team are especially vulnerable.
As mentioned by others, if UH was at home, I might see this differently. But, it's not. Boise is going to try and make a big statement, I highly doubt that they'll call off the dogs if they get up. Let's hope I'm wrong (when it comes to v-bets, I usually am).

its fucking Hawaii, how big of a statement can you possibly make against fucking Hawaii?
Georgia scraps Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl a few years ago......"they were supposed to win"
Boise scraps Hawaii and its a "statement"

Your memory is failing you on this. UGA milked every last drop out of that win. They got way too much credit for that win and ended up being preseason #1 the next year because of it.

To be fair the players from that Hawaii squad are probably no longer on the team. Different coach too.buckeyemania11;1807589; said:

well yea....and obviously this Hawaii team is nowhere near as "good" (they lost by 3 scores to COLORADO for god sakes)
just using it as an example
since the Boise State sunshine pumpers are trying to pass Hawaii off as a "statement win" for Boise
