Sometimes some of the best recruits in the nation are transfers. He is not a freshman or sophmore keep this in mind when evaluating him.

Also keep in mind last week the temperature at NIGHT when they played was 96 degrees. Now in Vegas that is dry heat. I don't know anyone outside of living in Vegas that could play in that type of temperature. And yet they still fought till the end.

Yup, can't forget that. Santa Rosa, JC. That is actually one of the best JUCO in CA.

808guy,

I had the bows rec starting out the yr, with either the loss coming UNLV or LATech, not both. The Bows came ino the yr with not a lot of love for some reason. La Tech had a lot of people on them, and it seems they have been brought back to the real world.

Seems that it should be said and that everyone just seems to stress of the travel is the thing people keep talking about.

I expect a lot better outcome this time vs. the last trip to LA (Sugar)

Mahalo to all your work on them but line has done nothing but go up and like a close game, so 5 is a gift IMO.

On playing Louisiana Tech on a Wednesday…

It’s on national television, its our third game on the road, and you have to do what you have to do, so I’m not complaining. People say we have a bye. We don’t have a bye, because the next week we play Fresno State. We may not have a game on Saturday, but in my mind, we don’t have a bye. Being away for this long creates a lot of work for our academic people. Our players are in class in September, nine times. We’re working very hard and our academic people are working hard. It’s tough on everyone. It’s tough to win on the road. But we’re going to do what’s best for these players and this program. I have no doubt that we are going to take care of it.

As for this game, I like LaTech.

Alexander will face the 16th ranked pass defense Wednesday against Louisiana Tech.

Back to Back to Back road games for Hawaii.....

Hawaii owned UNLV for 3 quarters, and absolutley gassed in the 4th......

4,000 miles for the most brutal road trip in the WAC, and maybe any conference......this doesnt include a long ass bus ride from the airport......

Hawaii is already in Houston practicing so this is somewhat mitigated....

La Tech has played a brutal schedule, and their running attack never had the time or opportunity to display what I know they can do......

UNLV's offensive line absolutely leveled Hawaii's d-line as the game went on, I am sure La Tech can do it to Hawaii much worse........

For some odd reason, maybe because Hawaii has been beating the shit out of everyone for the last decade in the WAC not named Boise, La Tech has taken an extreme disliking to Hawaii (remember the Colt Brennan game? 15 yard penalty before the game even started for doing the Haka 100 yards from the field?)....La Tech fans and Team probably hate Hawaii more than any other team in the WAC.....

A conference win here for 1-2 La Tech is worth way more to them than a win for 2-1 Hawaii eager to get their asses back home and play in front of their fans.....

Just some thoughts.......maybe a play later......

Sir you have been eating too much papaya under your coconut tree. Are you sure a coconut didnt fall on your brain and caused it to disfunction? Hawaii will beat LA tech by points.Believe me they will cover the spread +4.5 GL

Yeah, your passing D looks great when in 2 games (Aub, Navy) went for 305 and 290 ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!

Aub still had 25 in the air as well.

You got that right. Good stuff bracks, I was about to point that out. That number 16 rating is so decieving, Auburn and especially Navy run the ball and LaTech couldn't do shit about it. And if your opponent can't stop it, why change it up and pass. Just keep running it down their throats as each team did. So it was very easy for LaTech to stop the pass, since there weren't really any pass attempts.....
