Hawaii vs Utah State Stats

Hawaii Rainbows

Despite a slow start to the season, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors have shown improvement, coming into Saturday's game with a record of 4-6. Winning 2 out of their last 3 games, they are still in contention for bowl eligibility. Senior QB Brayden Schager has been a key player, throwing for 2500 yards and 19 TDs. The team's defense has also improved, allowing just 20 points per game in their last 3 conference matchups. With a power ranking of 103, Hawaii ranks 109 in offense and 54 in defense, with a record of 4-5 (4-4-1 ATS) this season.

Utah State Aggies Analysis

Despite their history of success in the Mountain West, the Utah State Aggies have struggled this season with a record of 2-7, including just one win against an FBS opponent. Quarterback Spencer Petras has had a solid season, completing 65% of his passes and averaging 7 yards per attempt. The Aggies' running game has been strong, led by Rahul Faison with 800 yards so far. The team's defense, however, has been a major issue, allowing at least 45 points in 6 of their 8 games against FBS opponents. The Aggies have a power ranking of 126, ranking 69th in offense and 133rd in defense. In their last three matchups, Hawaii has had the upper hand against Utah State.

Hawaii Favored to Cover Spread Against Utah State on the Road

It is my professional opinion that Hawaii will cover the -2.5 point spread on the road against Utah State this Saturday. The Rainbow Warriors have demonstrated significant improvement in their recent performances, winning 2 out of their last 3 games, with a narrow loss to UNLV being their only defeat. Conversely, Utah State is coming off a three-touchdown loss and has only secured one FBS win this season. Hawaii's quarterback, Brayden Schager, has consistently thrown for three touchdowns in his past two games and is likely to replicate this success against Utah State's struggling defense, which has allowed over 45 points in six of its eight FBS games this season. Hawaii's defense has also shown improvement during their recent success, which should help them contain Spencer Petras and secure a victory by a margin of at least 3 points.
