Week 5 upset
Hawaii over Louisiana Tech @ Ruston, LA
The Warriors have a great chance to open up their WAC campaign with a BIG win against LA Tech has 1 win.
Yes I know it’s only 4 weeks in but it was a 6 point OT win over Central Arkansas. I will also point out that Central Arkansas is a FCS school (Division below LA Tech). So with that in mind I’d say LA Tech doesn’t have a whole lot going for them apart from home field.
Now here is one reason why I love the Warriors in this matchup: Bryant Moniz. That’s right, Mr Moniz put up an NCAA record 7 first half touchdown passes.

Now it did come against FCS school UC-Davis but lots of powerful teams play FCS opponents in the early parts of their schedules, but 7 TD’s in one half is pretty impressive & once again I would say Mr Moniz had a “El Jugador” performance last week.
Hawaii is a team that is 2-2 with a close loss at Washington & what was a complete head scratcher; a loss at UNLV 40 – 20.
So now that they are getting to conference play and I see Hawaii lighting up the score board against LA Tech. With Hawaii’s high powered offense averaging 35.5 points I don’t see Tech slowing them down what so ever, especially seeing that Tech gave up 42 at home to a FCS squad, so how can they possibly stop Hawaii???
Did I forget to mention Tech is giving up 30.5 points a game! I tell you what, if we dress up my dog Hydie in a LA Tech uniform, she could possibly upgrade that defence. She’s fast & attacks any form of ball.
So in summary I see Hawaii having a solid win. That plucky customer Bryant Moniz can win the game with his legs or arm.
4 weeks have past so the new cast of wide outs should be familiar and comfortable with the offence and continue to improve.
Hawaii 42 LA Tech 28
Hawaii’s defence still needs to improve

Air Force @ Navy
Welcome to Rushville population Air Force and Navy, as we see two of the top five teams in rushing in the FBS play off in Memorial stadium.
I realise Navy only lost to South Carolina by a field goal in what could be called an honourable loss, but did anybody see SC play at QB. Garcia played horrible and was struggling to get the ball out in a decent time.
I just think Air Force will have the edge over Navy this weekend because of their great running game and that solid triple option (yes I realise Navy plays the triple option as well).
Basically the game will come down to who ever can stop the rush can win the game and I see Air Force stopping the rush.
I see Air Force just proving something a little more to their military rivals by the Falcons having a easier than expected win over Navy.
This also gives me a chance to shout out to the troops, thanks for providing a service to you country and doing something which truly is STRONG.
Both El Jugador and Dr College Football applaud you.
