Per NCAA rules, teams that visit Hawaii for a game are allowed to play 13 games in their season. It's a way to give some incentive for a team to make the long trip. The Huskies were actually supposed to play against the Rainbow Warriors (*snicker*) last season, but instead scheduled it for this year (as Oregon State played there at the end of last season instead). Oh, and I should say that technically Hawaii's football team dropped the "Rainbow" part of their nickname a few seasons ago. Probably had to do with creating an image of toughness or something along those lines. Just maybe, right?!?!?!

Prediction: Hawaii 35, Washington 28

Yes, I think we will lose by a touchdown. Colt Brennan will throw against our poor secondary all day long. We can't stope that, so five TDs for Hawaii. I do think Locker can assemble four scoring drives for points. But, it won't be enough and I do predict the "Rainbow Warriors" will finish the regular season with a perfect record. But you know, look at their schedule and to be honest we are the best team they will have faced all year. So what is that worth to you? For me, it isn't that much. They have an undersized QB with a great arm who will kill us but isn't near top quality. Great for the WAC, and yeah you can beat the low end of the PAC-10, but you're still not a top program.

So, what I see happening in this one is quite simple. Brennan will pass all day long in Hawaii's pass spread offense. The Huskies secondary will continue to disappoint. Our offense will put together some drives and score occasionally, but it won't be enough to catch up with what our defense will allow.
