Aloha: Let’s lei it on the line with Hawaii
Hawaii’s recipe for Hawaii Bowl success is no secret. Bring in a team from the dreary mainland — in this case Tulsa — and soften it up with a few days of sun, sand, surf and nightlife. When the last thing on a visitor’s mind is football, it’s kickoff time. Toss in homefield advantage and, if necessary, some questionable officiating, and the rest is history.
This time-tested formula has been successful: The Warriors are 3-1 in Hawaii Bowls since 2003 while averaging an eye-catching 43.7 points. Don’t be surprised if they surpass that total tonight.
The Warriors lead the nation in passing, averaging 387.8 yards per game. They figure to do some serious damage to a Tulsa pass defense ranked 119th (out of 120 FBS teams) while yielding 305.7 yards per game and allowing 30 TD passes.
Hawaii is a 101/2-point favorite and figures to score early and often. Give the points.
