For the record in this game it will be PAC 10 officials assigned to this game. Several gamblers will remember when the Big 10 had traveled to Hawaii in recent years there had been some very questionable calls go in favor of Hawaii by the WAC conference officials. Hawaii sits at 6-6 on the season and with a win over Wisconsin will get to 7-6 and the Warriors would become bowl eligible and most likely will get a bid to the Hawaii Bowl. The Warriors have won 4 straight and coming off an impressive 24-17 victory over bowl eligible Navy. The Warriors were able to amass 366 passing yards on the Midshipmen in victory. Hawaii will look to exploit a weak Badger pass defense. Warriors quarterback Bryant Moniz had his best game of the season hitting on 32 of 44 for 366 yards three touchdowns and no picks in victory. On the defensive side of the ball the Warriors allow 27.7 points per game and a very high 390 yards per game. The Warriors are not very good against the run allowing 193 yards a game. And that’s good news for the Wisconsin Badgers who have a solid offensive line and good running attack. Sophomore running back John Clay is averaging 5.1 yards a carry this season. Junior running back Scott Tolzien is hitting on 62% of his passes this season. He has passed for 6 touchdowns and 1 interception in his past two games. The Badgers are coming off a 33-31 loss at Northwestern two weeks ago. The team is coming off a bye. The Badgers are 8-3 on the season. Industry pundits have projected the Badgers already into the Outback Bowl should Iowa earn an at large BCS bowl berth. Wisconsin struggles against the pass allowing 222 yards per game ranking 8th in the Big Ten conference.
