We're sandwiched between UCLA and the Beavs on their schedule. Should be interesting. No TV/streaming yet?

I have a feeling this is going to be interesting. :roll:

University of Hawaii has announced that all Fall sports will be played without fans. We're still making our trip (because why the hell not?) but hopefully it'll be broadcast locally in Oahu and we can hook up somewhere with some Viks fans.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Hawaii (0-1) vs Portland State (0-0) Game Preview
Why Portland State Will Win
It’s been a while since the Vikings have been able to play, but they bring back a decent running game that should be able to pound away a bit along with a passing game that will keep the heat on the Rainbow Warrior secondary.

QB Davis Alexander returns after throwing 28 touchdown passes in 2019, and Emmanuel Daigbe brings a dangerous deep threat to lead a good-looking receiving corps.

Hawaii couldn’t get much out of the offense against UCLA – coming up with just 269 yards of total O – and the D got run over for 244 yards, but …

Why Hawaii Will Win
Portland State isn’t UCLA – at least not 2021 UCLA.

No, Hawaii couldn’t seem to do a whole lot of things right in the 44-10 loss, but that was a get-the-kinks-out game – at least that’s the hope.

This is a far better team than it showed in Pasadena. The Rainbow Warriors have a decent defense, the running game will set a tone after coming up with just 26 yards, and expect a whole lot of plays in the backfield after struggling to get behind the line.

What’s Going To Happen
It might not seem like the normal home for Hawaii – playing in a sports complex as the stadium situation is being worked on – but being in familiar surroundings will matter.

Hawaii was great at home last year and inconsistent on the road. Portland State won’t get rocked until late, but the Rainbow Warriors will look far sharper after getting a game in.

Beware, made me want to throw my computer across the room. Playing FBS teams puts us at the mercy of those who think they have a vast knowledge of college football, yet they all seem to show off their stupidity. I used to think it was just Duck fans, but I'm finding out it is FBS in general.

28-0 first quarter. Ouch! Hope we can fix what appear to be a bunch of problems.

End of 1st.

Yikes.

At least PSU starts the 2nd in plus territory.

 

[Pounder]

2nd went 7-7. PSU scored on the first play of the quarter.

My vision of the Hawaii radio PBP man is that his contract includes a refrigerator in the booth with a couple vats of Mai Tais ready to dispense. At least he’s entertaining.
