Sat. Sept. 8th, 2014 @ Hawaii, Aloha Stadium (Oahu, HI)
UNI is 0-1 after losing a heartbreaker to Iowa 31-23.
Hawaii is 0-2 with a close loss to Washington 17-16 and came back strong (23 points in the 4th) against a good Oregon State offense to lose 38-30.
Hawaii avgs. 23 pts a game and gives up a shade over 27.
Their defense has given up 169 yards a game on the ground with 3 TDs (avg. 4 yards per carry). They have given up over 230 yards passing a game with 5 YAC yards per catch. They have one interception to their credit this year and have given up 4 passing TDs.
Their offense has yet to get a passing TD but avg. 221 yards a game.
They are 15/42 on 3rd downs and 4/6 on 4th downs.
Hawaii has been outscored 48-17 in the first half this year but has stiffened up at the half and outscored its opponents 29-7 in the 2nd half.
Their leading running back Joey Iosefa has 4 rushing Tds including 3 against OSU last week. He also had 31 receiving yards in that game as well. He is expected to be out.
He averages 98 yards a game. QB Woolsey is their 2nd leading rusher with 1 score.
Their top receiving threat has only 15 catches for a 152 yards (long of 21). Quinton Pedroza is his name.
Woolsey's deepest pass was to Marcus Kemp, their #2 WR, and a 41 yarder.
Their defense has forced 2 fumbles but they have recovered none of them. They have 1 pick and only 3 sacks on the year.
Overall I think we will match up well with them. Hawaii will try to pound the ball as much as possible. We have a great defensive backfield that I believe can shut down any passing game the Warriors try to attack with and as long as we can penetrate at the line even a little...the running game can and will be shut down. I think this will be a huge day for Sawyer and David to be honest.
