Hawaii +2.5 over Army ****** strong play
Army played terrible last week beating Eastern Mich with a final drive at the end.EMU was leading 31-27 before Army scored a winning TD to pull the game out. Hassan scored 3 td's but super soph QB Steelman played horrendous.He had 13 rushes for 14 yds before the last drive.He ended up with 15 carries and 35 yds.Fumbled the ball,caused another one on a poor handoff.Army had 7 penalties for 70 yds.Their kicking game,punting,kickoff coverage which was terrible last yr has not improved.Army defense couldn't stop huge holes the EMU OL created.Priest for EMU had 146 yds on the ground.EMU never passed the ball. They were 4-9 for 31 yds.Army gave up huge plays on defense. They only forced EMU to punt once in the entire game.Combs their starting LB is out and another LB is hurt'in.EMU was 0-12 last yr and aren't that good a team.
The Bows are coming off a big loss to USC.They have a open attack offense.They call it the " pistol-run-and shoot.Monitz their QB is athletic and can run and pass.Army has historically had problems with QB's like that. He was 18-36 for 269 yds and a td vs USC.He rushed for another 38 yds.
Bows have 2 backup qb's.Their offense vs USC gained 583 yds,459 in the air.Army will have a tough time trying to stop this spread offense.Salas in one of the best WR's in the conf.Bows have a huge OL they will pass protect Monitz.Army line is small and quick.Army's problem is the back 7.Their is little speed in this group.They haven't seen an air attack like this.To think EMU only threw the ball 9 times.On the 1st series of plays the Bows will throw it more then EMU.
Bows OL did a good job on the USC DL.The question is "can Bows defense stop the Army option.Army used 4 rbs and got their ground game going.Think they will move the ball and score vs Bows. But not enough to stay ahead.
Hawaii is traveling over 5,000 miles to play here in the Hudson Valley. But there should be no jet lag.Bows arrived tonite in NJ and will have 3 days to get acclimated to the time difference.Plus the weather is beautiful here now. Today it was in the low 70's.Army needs to get the Bows here in Nov with a windchill of -10.
Think the wrong team is favored.Cannot see Army defense staying with this high powered offense....will be back later in the week.Like North Texas over Rice and a few more...GL
Also Bows did beat Navy and its option attack last yr 24-17..
