The defenses are ahead of the offenses in Week 1, yet here we have a super-sized total. Arizona has a talented, experienced quarterback but the offense has a lot of question marks. The receiving corps is starting over, while coach Kevin Sumlin's spring focus was on developing the offensive line, which lacks depth. The defense has more continuity with size on a strong D-line in J.B. Brown and Finton Connolly, while the linebacking unit is the strength of the club. The secondary also has a big plus with fifth-year senior CB Jace Whittaker (who missed last season) joining three other players with a combined 44 starts. CFB teams off a season allowing 255+ passing yards per game and have eight defensive starters returning are 47-18 UNDER the total in the first two weeks of the season. Hawaii's offense didn't play well when stepping up in competition last year, scoring 23 points against BYU and 14 in a Bowl Game against Louisiana Tech. The last time they played a Pac-12 school was two years ago as they scored just 23 at UCLA. Hawaii has gone UNDER in four of its last five home games and this total is too high. Play this one to finish UNDER.
