If Timmy doesn't get this tightened up, Western Kentucky might come in and hang 50 points and win by 30. I mean wow, that Vandy game was a disgrace to disgrace.

Hoping for the best Saturday. I hope there's changes in the defense at LB, S and that there's improvement at pass blocking at TE (especially Philips) and RB positions (especially Hines). I agree with the observations that the Warriors should have run the ball more against Vandy. The guards and center were run blocking good. AH and BW had their first starts (82 snaps) and did pretty well considering that it was their first action. Both should get better. I hope to see BS stretch field deeper. Those 8 pass attempts behind the LOS for 4 yards in the Vandy game was laughable. If this game gets away I hope the coaches see what the other QB can do. I wouldn't mind seeing Farrel or Cooper. The special teams coach comes in with a lot of hype so hope to see some fireworks-something. The above link (came out a few days ago) names a Hawaii player to the first team. I think you will be surprised. I was. Anyway I hope it's a good game. If anyone has a listing of establishments televising the Hawaii please let me know.

Does WKU have a RB in their lineup?
According to Tsai’s post in the SA he lists 5 receivers in the line up and no RB
I’m assuming this is a typo and one of the WR is actually a RB?
I can’t see an offense running an empty set 100% of the time
WESTERN KENTUCKY OFFENSE

WR—0 Jaylen Hall 6-3 180 Gr.

WR—11 Malachi Corley 5-11 210 So.

WR—17 Dalvin Smith 6-3 190 Fr.

As the saying goes that the team makes it's biggest jump in improvement is between week 1 game to the week 2 game. Or in Hawaii case week 0 game to week 1 game. This should be a more competitive game, probably going to be a better ball security run heavy offense with the QB running to keep the defense honest (Around an 70% run plays to 30% pass plays ratio). The defense will tighten up and make better plays than week 0, there will be an improvement by how much is TBD.

Hilltoppers have a good QB in Austin Reed. Despite the slow start Reed threw for 279 yards and 4 TDs. Their run game looks pedestrian considering they only averaged 3.4 yards pounding it against an FCS opponent. Dunno about their run D but I think we should pound the ground and test it and if it's a weakness, we should continue exploit it. We can control the clock and keep the defense rested and minimize offensive possessions.

I think I'm more worried about the pass defense with this QB who can sling it. If Chang still using the 2-QB system, maybe start Yellen then Schager in the second half since the QB competition is neck and neck.

16.5 point underdog. If we don't win, I'm hoping we at least beat the spread and look better than last week.

I think Parson fumbled twice because he wasn't getting hit a lot in fall camp. They didn't want him to get injured in the scrimmages, so he didn't have a lot of live reps.

Schager and Yellen are definitely not runners and won't make many plays with their legs. Cooper is the only running threat at QB, but he is really inconsistent throwing. Eddins can run too but he doesn't have a strong arm and he's too far down the depth chart.

We will win. Guarins. The spread is the motivation.
