Hawaii Keys to the Game

These are pretty obvious and they've been pretty much said before by others, but kickoff is less than two hours away and it's something to do!

1. Minimize the turnovers! Hawaii has one of the worst turnover ratios in the nation while Boise State has one of the best. This can't carry over into this game. Like June Jones said, if we turn over the ball too many times, be prepared for a long night.

2. Don't give up the big plays, especially on special teams. No explanation needed.

3. Establish the passing game to open up the running game. Dave Reardon pointed this out. UH needs to keep the BSU defense off-balance. Either way, Nasty and the Juggernaut will pound it, but you can't have BSU keying on anything.

4. Force BSU to pass. Do this by containing the running games of Ian Johnson and Jarad Zabransky.

5. Don't give up the big pass! When BSU does pass, make sure no one gets deep because Zabransky is itchin to bomb it!
