wasn`t gonna touch this one but,what the hey......gonna play hawaii over 21 1st half.....
after seeing the uab`s,army`s,east carolina`s,la lafayette`s and rice`s of the world,i suspect this hawaii offense will be a bit of a shock to the system for houston....when they played teams with capapble offenses,they got lit up for 42 by sorry tulane...45 by memphis....31 by so miss(and so. miss although solid all around,isn`t an offensive juggernaut)....50 by a probably disinterested michigan....62 by tcu....and 66 by louisville....
the scary part of this is that many of these clubs scored these points running the ball....is there really a passing game among these teams anything like hawaii`s?....not in my opinion....and hawaii has scored over 21 1st half points 5 times this year.....
hawaii got up 14-0 quickly last year on tulane, and then lost chang due to injury....had to go with sean withy-allen(i`d have dropped that "withy" s-it real fast if i were him).....
withy came in and hawaii struggled mightily....this year,hawaii has 2 capable qb`s in chang and wheldon......
hawaii`s famous for getting off the blocks quickly.....as a matter of fact,these bowl games seem to be falling into a pattern of high scoring first halves....and it looks like houston has the offensive capapbility to keep the heat on hawaii`s offense to keep scoring.....
add to this that hawaii`s best defensive player travis laboy won`t be playing.....and maybe several other defenders....
hawaii has put up more than 21 in the 1st half 5 times this year.....would have been more except that they played several decent defenses along the way...bama...unlv...usc....boise...a nevada defense that`s better than houston`s....
but against the weaker "d"`s,hawaii pput up the points early....
now,in their bowl game at home.. with great weather....and both qb`s healthy.......vs a very weak "d".....i`ll take a small shot....
chad owens will play for hawaii despite a sore toe and a touch of flu earlier in the week....
may even play the very public over here....no more than 75...
but,i`ll take a shot with hawaii over 21 1st half for the hell of it....
