Predictions for the Game

POST-GAME UPDATE: I've put the results (as "RIGHT" or "WRONG") next to my predictions in bold.

Some of these are obvious. Some of these are insane! Anyway, here are my predictions for the game.
  1. Bama will run run run run early on, trying to test the Hawaii defense as well as wanting to get John Parker Wilson settled in his first college start. (RIGHT)

  2. Ken Darby will rush for 170 yards and two touchdowns. (WRONG)

  3. When Bama does throw, they will try to get it to their tall tight ends as much as they can. 40% of Bama's passes will be thrown their way. (WRONG, though there some big passes to the tight ends.)

  4. JPW will get sacked 3 times. (WRONG)

  5. But he will throw a touchdown pass. (RIGHT)

  6. Hawaii will also run run run in their first series, trying to throw Bama off and establish the ground game. (WRONG)

  7. The Nasty and The Juggernaut will combine for 150 yards rushing with two touchdowns. (WRONG)

  8. Colt will get sacked twice. (WRONG, sacked once)

  9. But he'll have 30 yards rushing. (WRONG)

  10. And he'll throw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns. (RIGHT on both counts)

  11. Ross Dickerson will have a 50 yard kickoff return. (I gotta say RIGHT even though it was only 48)

  12. Ikaika Alama-Francis will have a sack (WRONG)

  13. Jacob Patek will have an interception (WRONG)

  14. C.J. Hawthorne will barely miss blocking a kick. (WRONG)

  15. Dan Kelly will kick a field goal of 40 yards or more. (RIGHT)

  16. Hawaii will win! (WRONG WRONG WRONG!)

I know some of these are way too specific, but I'm just excited. I'm going through all these different scenarios in my mind in anticipation of the game. I will revisit these predictions afterwards to see how many I got. I really don't care about the first fifteen though, I just want to get the last one right! Anybody have any predictions as well? Anybody? I'm bereft of comments! Game is 16 hours away!
