How could Hawaii have beaten?

I think that they are nowhere near the team that people thought they were due to a ridiculously weak schedule inflating their numbers. Their O-line had no chance of protecting Brennan let alone opening up any running lanes. There's really nothing Hawaii could have done. They were completely out of their league and beaten by a much better team.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda??? Hawaii did the best they could with what they had. Bottom line...Hawaii should not have been in the game in the first place. Period. Last years Boise State win was a fluke and proved nothing except what we saw this year in that most any team can defeat any other team on any given weekend. Does that mean those 'fluke' wins indicate overall superiority in upset situations? Hawaii is the WAC champion...no doubt. They also played one of the weakest schedules in Division 1-A this year. The WAC is not a conference deserving a BCS bowl bid. Non-BCS bowls...absolutely. If the WAC wants true BCS legitimacy then they need a couple of games during the regular season against 'competitive' schools from other conferences. Just one mans opinion.

Hawaii is not on the same level as Georgia. UH couldn't stop the four man rush from killing Colt. They had the statistically weakest schedule in the country thats the only reason they went undefeated to begin with. Just look at the schools they play. If you are going to prove that the WAC is ready for the big time you have to play some big schools.

The only reason they scored at the end was because UGA had their B squad on the field.

To have actually beaten the Dawgs? Uh..they would need a two-QB system, a better run defense, more pressure on our QB, and more experience playing fast, hard-hitting football. I'm not trying to take anything away from Hawaii's 12-0 season, but it's easy to be undefeated against the teams they played. Georgia was a whole nother animal for them to tame, and they couldn't do it, from beginning to end. Hawaii's offensive line couldn't even make our defense pause, and that's what won the game for us. If I was a returning O-line player for Hawaii, I would start practicing as soon as I got back to the island...September and Florida are only nine months away, and if they couldn't even make a showing against Georgia, there's no way they can beat the Gators (who Georgia stomped in October). Vindication...it's a sweet, sweet word...Go Dawgs!

I agree...I don't think it is a good idea to pass on almost every single down, no matter how good your quarterback is, because the defense will not be off balance. I think it is wise to mix some running plays in on occasion (counters, running back reads, triple option, etc). If nothing else, the defense will be confused and off balance, leading to big plays by the offense.

Hawaii doesn't really have a running game, they rely almost solely on the pass, thats why their passing game puts up such huge numbers. There is nothing Hawaii could have done to win that game, they were totally outmatched and under-talented. The had no place in a BCS bowl to begin with. Another reason why the BCS is a freaking joke.

are you kidding me?? no way could hawaii have beaten georgia. georgia was too strong, too fast, and hawaii had not played anyone this year remotely close to the talent georgia has. they could've switched it up some but the outcome would've been the same- a slaugther. georgia knew that if you shut down brennan, you shut down hawaii. and thats exactly what they did. kudos to the georgia defensive coordinator that came up with a brilliant game plan that put brennan on the turf at the superdome.

and to milianibabe, not all georgians are retarded. shame on you for making such a predictable statement from obviously an uneducated individual.

June Jones should have switched up the QB's. As soon as Graunke got in the game, UH began to score again. They really should have switched up the rotations. Get some fresh guys in the game, and it would have been better. And, also Hawaii players aren't used to playing in a dome, they had to adapt to a new environment. But, got to give Georgia some credit, as they were fast tonight. But no matter the outcome HAWAII WARRIORS had made history by going to a BCS Bowl game. Congrats Warriors, and good luck all you seniors!

How could the Rainbows beaten Georgia??

Well, having a defense would have been a start.

Next, I'd try to put a less predictable offense together.

Either way, the 'Bows need to be a lot more physical.

bottom line is the obviously were

not prepared for this football its

one thing too lose a good hard fought

football game but too blown away

like that you have no one too blame

but your self not taking anything

away from Georgia they deserve

all the credit in the world

bad game plans lead too bad losses

look at the coaches on this one
