In their meeting last season Hawaii beat Nevada 38-31 at Hawaii. Nevada after starting the season 0-3, the team has beaten UNLV and three WAC opponents to be at 4-3 on the season. The team has piled on the points scoring 215 points in their past 4 games. Duel threat quarterback Colin Kaepernick has ran wild the past 4 games posting 173 rushing yards against UNLV, 89 against Louisiana Tech, 77 against Utah State and last week ran for 230 yards. Since throwing 4 picks in his first 2 games the junior quarterback has thrown 10 touchdowns with just 1 interception against the softer competition. His running backs high piled up impressive numbers as Vai Taua has rushed 87 times for a 7.0 yards per carry average and Luke Lippincott 78 rushes for a 6.7 yards per carry average. Nevada is ranked 7th in total defense in the WAC allowing 413 yards per game and a very high 6.3 yards per play average. The Wolf Pack allows 31 points per game. On the Hawaii side the Warriors are struggling with a 2-5 record and are 2 more losses away from missing a bowl game, which most likely would be the Hawaii Bowl. The Warriors are 0-4 in WAC games this season and losers of 5 straight. The team has struggled big time for offense since losing their back up quarterback Greg Alexander to a season ending injury in their loss at Louisiana Tech. The team has scored just 55 points in their past 4 games. The Warriors have been using a third string quarterback since game 4 and their offense has not been pretty. Sophomore third string walk on quarterback Bryant Moniz is hitting on just 55% of his passes with just 3 touchdown passes and 3 interceptions on the season. During his past 4 appearances he was no better than 46% accurate in three of those games. Hawaii’s defense has given up tons of rushing yardage in the past 4 weeks. Louisiana Tech rushed for 352 yards, Fresno St 277 yards, Idaho 194 yards and last week home to Boise St 193 rushing yardage. Hawaii is coming off a bad home loss losing 54-9 last week to the Boise St Broncos. The Warriors give up an average of 33 points per game and 412 total yards. Nevada faced the much tougher non-conference games playing teams like Notre Dame, Colorado St and Missouri while Hawaii’s foes in the non-conference has been UNLV, Washington St and Central Arkansas.
