It’s a good thing that the Cougars have practiced a lot of nickel defense as of late, because they’ll need that alignment to have a chance in stopping Hawaii. Look for Hawaii to approach their season average as a result, with a lot of quick-hitters on slant and short out-patterns, congruent to how Mendenhall likes to set up his coverages.
Prediction: BYU 42, Hawaii 34
It’s difficult to predict anything but a barn-burner, considering not only the teams but the venue, and what this game means to Hawaii. It is their bowl game, and they’re sure to bring their best effort of the year against BYU.
BYU is simply the better team, however, and with it being the final regular season game for the seniors, they should be able to meet Hawaii’s effort, coming away with a victory.

One of the more exciting moments for many BYU fans will be to see whether Bronco is wearing his gray Lil' Band of Brothers t-shirt or whether he has had a Lil' Band of Brothers shirt made with a Hawaiian print.
