Sugar Bowl

Is it another Boise St/Oklahoma? That's what I keep hearing about this Hawaii/Georgia game. Both teams have great offensive powers, Hawaii with Colt and the passing game and Georgia with the ground game and Moreno. Both teams strengths seem to inherently compliment the other teams weakness. There is one fact, Mark Richt's salary is bigger than the entire Hawaii football funding at 2.2 million dollars.

Georgia will have to manage the clock and keep ball control in there favor and out of Hawaii's hands. You will no doubt see a very large dose of the running game today and Georgia definitely has the capabilities to light up huge numbers on the ground with there dynamic duo. The downfall of Georgia will be there defense which seems to get lit-up by the passing game as Tennessee did to them not too long ago. You can bet that they will be blitzing every chance as it seems all teams do against Hawaii, so not likely they would see something new.

Hawaii's offense, passing, passing and more passing. Nothing surprising here. What has been a surprise is Hawaii's defense against the run the last few games where they have stepped up in some pretty steep situations. It'll be interesting to see how they hold up against a real power-house running game.

I personally think this will be a very fun and entertaining game to watch. Not to mention a pretty high scoring affair.
