H-Man,

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek on that one. The defense was definitely suspect until the last couple weeks.

Army, for one, is 5-6 currently, on a bye week. They need to beat Hawaii and Navy to get to a bowl game. Lose either of the two, they may not be eligible. Army’s been a weird team that’s had ugly losses despite some astonishing wins. Basically, (Like in a Clint Eastwood movie) “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” kind of team. They have astonishing wins against Morgan State, UMass and VMI, outscoring them 162-34, but had ugly losses to Western Kentucky, Georgia State (In which is a rare one), Tulane, San Jose State, and Air Force. They gave then ranked-7 Michigan all the could, but lost ugly by a sack and a fumble to boot. This game is begging to say “Trap game” right there. Despite them leading the nation in rushing yards, they haven’t proved it in their losses. Question becomes which Army team is going to show up at Aloha Stadium?

Hawaii, already has clinched not only bowl eligibility, but their conference division title (Despite it being partially marred by the brawl, as H-Man pointed out). They’re 8-4 currently and has played ugly in their last two games following their win against SJSU, winning 21 and 14 points respectably against UNLV and San Diego State. This team’s poise is starting to showcase, especially on their defense. Their focus was there, and now is the matter of attention to see if they can finish out strong in their final home game before the championship bout with Boise State. A win over Army could possibly make Rolo forget the 2017 3-9 season and possibly have the program tie the most wins of the season since 2010.

This final game will dictate their destiny and see how it will end. Hopefully, Hawaii will do good against the Knights. I’m expecting this to end in a down-to-the-wire scenario, because that’s technically how these two teams have done. I don’t think Hawaii can blow out the Black Knights like how they did it in 2003, 59-28. But, Hawaii needs to keep their composure and have Cole and Chevan put their best foot forward against them. Let’s do it! Do it for the 30+ seniors on the squad!

My high school algebra teacher would be a better announcer that our basketball and football games.

My pleasure. Glad it is of some help. I’ll be back to doing them at the start of the week this coming week.
