Hawaii can score on anyone, and their defense is so so...not much to speak of.......Az St has the better D, but won't be able to stop this scoring Machine, or match em........
They may swap points for a while, but the more consistent scoring machine is Hawaii......I feel by games end, Hawaii will be up by 42-24.............

First of all lets look at the Conferences.........CMU from the MAC, and MTSU from the SunBelt......both won their conferences......
CMU 9-4
MTSU 7-5
Sagarin ratings for conferences go this way
MAC playing as a 60 vs 60.....CMU playing as a 70 vs 65
SUN..................56/56.........MTS..................56.....56
Neutral field involved here, and based on performance vs SOS, the advantage goes to CMU
MTS lost their final 2 games, conversely CMU won their last 2.....who's hot, who's not.advantage CMU
MTSU avegs 23.5 ppg CMU yields 22.9....adv CMU
CMU avgs 380 ypg, MTSU 282 ypg....advantage CMU
CMU avgs 252 ypg passing, MTSU just 145....adv CMU
CMU avgs 127 ypg on the ground, MTSU yields just 117...adv MTSU
CMU avgs 29.6 ppg, MTSU yields 23.5....adv CMU
MTSU has a weak passing team, and it's just the opposite for CMU...this is where they are strong........
MTSU QB has thrown for only 1666 yds, 8 TDS, vs 7 INTs, and has only 1 player with more than 20 catches (33)...
CMU QB is the MAC Freshman of the Year, 2869 yds, 63% completions, just 10 Ints.....he has receivers that accomplished the following...
54 recpts, 800 yds, 5 TDs
46...........370........6......
also has 2 other players with 5 TD's each......advantageCMU
MTSU avgs 137 ypg on the ground, while CMU yields about the same, 131 ypg, and CMU has a weak pass defense, yielding 211 ypg, MTSU does not have the passing profeciency to take advantage of this.......CMU will use their LineBackers Keith and Kress......CMU as a team forced 27 turnovers, and 28 sacks.......Keith had 117 tackles, and Kress 102, but the name to look for is BAZUIN, he's anchored this line for 3 seasons, and this year has 12 1/2 tackles for losses, and 8 1/2 sacks........advantage CMU
I see CMU stacking the line, and asking MTSU to pass, and when they do, its gonna be rough.....If MTSU gets behind, they don't have the fire power to stay with CMU.......
Providing the CMU Chippewaus don't turn it over foolishly, the MTSU Blue Raiders are out manned here........anything can happen, but here's the way I see it............
CMU - 7 1/2............-111 10*
Our record in Bowls is updated above as noted in Red....gl to all---kapt
