In Hawaii Bowl, Hawaii has its work cut out for it against Middle Tennessee
Saturday’s bowl game
Hawaii: Middle Tennessee (8-4) vs. Hawaii (6-7), at Honolulu, 5 p.m., ESPN – Someone counted the miles Hawaii traveled this season and came up with 47,000. That’s a long way to go to finish with a losing record. The Rainbow Warriors have home-field advantage as they try to even their ledger, but Middle Tennessee has one of the most productive backs in college football, I’Tavius Mathers. The transfer from Mississippi this season became only the seventh player in FBS history to accumulate 1,500 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving in a season. The Blue Raiders are hoping to have Brent Stockstill at quarterback. He passed for 2,801 yards and 27 touchdowns with five interceptions before suffering a broken right collarbone. Fortunately, he’s left-handed and has recovered enough to where he expects to play. The pick: Middle Tennessee, 45-32.
