Lol. I am sorry if I called names and insults. But I thought and felt that St Louis would win by 3 td's. At the half it was 31-14. Tua started to get cramps in his legs. Just felt st louis was to strong for kam. Their first drive they scored in they used 2 trick plays so that they would not have to put the ball in the young qb's hand. No disrespect. But for punahou, just don't think they have the same defense last year so thats why I dont see them being successful against tua and the offense. As far as tuliloa and talaupapa, if st louis shuts down the run who will he throw the ball to? Thats I dont see the game being close but that's if Tua is healthy throughout the whole game. But we'll see.
@joesmako44: I agree with your assessment. A guy earlier on this thread said Punahou is a "well-oiled machine" that just needs to have the right components plugged in. First of all, Punahou's "well-oiled machine" didn't look
that well-oiled against Iolani on defense. Iolani hung what, 22 pts on them. Also, it would appear that the best components Punahou has, are already plugged-in. I don't think Punahou has an outstanding receiver to replace Noa, and that has hurt their passing game. Meanwhile, St Louis has Kobayashi. Punahou has Taulapapa at RB, and it looks as though they have built their O around him. St Louis knows that, and their state's-best LBs know that. Meanwhile, St Louis has a decent RB of its own, Silofau. Punahou's defensive front-seven lost a lot of key players to graduation; St Louis' D is definitely better.
