Utah State Previes





Two years ago the Warriors were undefeated and preparing to make its first BCS appearance. Tonight Hawaii is 2-6, winless in the WAC and 2 ½ point underdogs at home to another 2-6 team. My how things have changed since the departure of June Jones.

Hawaii still has a mathematical chance of making the Hawaii Bowl if it can win out but that scenario is about as likely as G.W. Bush being elected President of Iraq. Tonight is a winnable game for the Warriors but it will be tough.

Utah State QB Diondre Borel is a multi-threat nightmare, a poor man’s Jacory Harris and someone the Warriors will need to keep in check in order to have any chance at winning.

Offensively the Warriors cannot shoot themselves in the foot like they did last week versus the WolfPack. A 5th year Sr Tackle who I refuse to embarrass cannot continue to have 4 false start and 2 holding penaly performances if Hawaii has any shot at winning.

The odds are stacked against Hawaii but being the “homer” that I am, I predict a victory tonight and the end to the 6 game losing streak. Final score Hawaii 42 Utah State 37.
