2014 Season outlook-countdown

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Game two: UNI takes flight and makes their way to Honolulu and the Aloha Stadium to take on the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.

Hawaii last season only won one game, which was against Army. Hawaii has 17 returning starters from last years team; seven on offense, six on defense, and four special teams. They lost their QB (233-376, 2960 yds, 28 TDs) and a WR (59 rec, 973 yds, 9 TDs) on offense and a decent share of the defense is not returning. So what does this mean? Well we will not have an idea how good they will be. Additionally they start playing against PAC 12 Washington and Oregon St before UNI.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

After looking over the statistics from each team last season, I think UNI has a decent shot at winning the Hawaii game.

We match up quite well and this may be one of those games whomever has the ball last will win.

On the other hand I think the UNI defense can definitely put a hurt on the Hawaii offense, especially since Hawaii will be rebuilding the offense. Our defense is solid and we have quite a few weapons to rotate in as needed. Last season for UNI gave a few players some quality game experience and it should definitely pay dividends this year.

Thoughts???

I think only jet lag and the distraction of paradise makes it a game and the panthers can only beat themselves.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

and the panthers can only beat themselves.

alas, they seem to have had a knack for doing just that over the years.

That being said, UNI should have a decent chance to win that one, depending on how they fare healthwise after the Iowa game.

Jetlag is over-rated. They manage their sleep based on time of kickoff anyway for a normal game.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Still fairly sure that Nash is going to Western. I think I had it all but confirmed by a friend a few weeks ago and others on this board also have said similar comments.

It may be so, but he is still on the UNI Football Official Roster.

He seems to have talent, so why would he want to go to WIU?
