Hawaii at Louisiana Tech

Hawaii was a very high profile offense under June Jones, going almost exclusively through the air. Last year the Warriors were breaking in a new QB and didn't have the lofty numbers as expected. Now, a year later they sit atop the NCAA in total offense. That looks good, but when you look at the first three opponents they faced, there are certainly lots of questions to be answered. The played non-BCS Central Arkansas, Washington State and UNLV. Washington State ranks dead last of all teams in passing yards allowed and UNLV is #100 out of 120 teams. Despite that, the Rainbows struggled in the redzone, converting 15 attempts into just six touchdowns. Louisiana Tech is a powerful running team, returning nine strters from last year's team, while the Hawaii defense returns just two. Tech won eight games a year ago and will be playing with revenge here. Tech has played two top teams already, but are still a perfect 9-for-9 getting points in the redzone because they can run the ball. Hawaii is just 11-20 straight up in their last 31 road games in early-season play. And they are 6-11 on the road coming off a loss. Meanwhile, Louisiana Tech is 24-14 in their last 38 home games. I like Louisiana Tech on the moneyline here.
