Comments on: Hawaii football: Cole McDonald not lacking for motivation against Oregon State https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/court-sense/hawaii-football-cole-mcdonald-not-lacking-for-self-motivation-against-oregon-state/ Thu, 05 Sep 2019 00:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: bg https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/court-sense/hawaii-football-cole-mcdonald-not-lacking-for-self-motivation-against-oregon-state/#comment-2702899 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 00:28:50 +0000 http://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/?p=50905#comment-2702899 It’s Wednesday and time to stir the pot a bit. I’ll follow up A-House and my reasons why the Warriors will win on Sat.
1. OSU has only a week to prepare while UH has 2. The RnS may look like Oklahoma State’s spread, but that’s only cosmetic. ‘Zona had the summer to prepare and they still got burned. Same-o, same-o goes for OSU.
2. History can indeed be a teacher. After the 1qtr, ‘Zona was trying everything to slow the Bows. They switched from their 4-man rush to a 3-man. They dropped 8 and changed up to blitz from time to time. Not bad, they did get 4 int’s. For OSU, they were blitzing their linebackers often and got penetration and tackles for losses. Oklahoma State countered with bubble screens and quick passes and scored with their first 6? possessions. Cole learns from his mistakes and shreds the OSU defense. AND, the Warrior running attack gets revved up starting in the 2qtr. OSU can try to blitz but Cole gets the ball out quicker and more accurately than the freshman QB at Oklahoma State.
3. The UH defense will have an early prayer of thanksgiving that they don’t have to contain Khalil Tate this week. They’ll be able to get after the qb. Luton, the OSU qb, received good grades after the game, but I don’t believe Oklahoma State’s defense was very good. Makes a big difference if I’m wrong, but that’s why I don’t do this for a living 🙂 OSU is supposed to have a good running game, but so did ‘Zona (even better). I like the way the Warrior D is shaping up. Do need to clean up the miscommunications in the back end. OSU surely saw what happened and will try the same. That’s OK, we’ve had 2 weeks to work on it.

Still working on the reasons we will lose. I’ll check back after the game…or not.

Defense may be the difference or it will come down to a field goal. Or…..
Cole has a lights-out game to bury the Beavers. Hoping for the latter. Go Warriors !!!
