Boise State Broncos vs East Carolina Pirates
Spread: Boise State -10.5
Over/Under Total: 69.5
By JR Valdez
I have to think about Boise State beating Oklahoma last year in overtime that was great I made a killing!!! The Broncos have a lot of those same players from last year and they are still the high powered run/pass combo that ranked 5th in the nation in points scored. WR’s Jeremy Childs and Titus Young are always money and Senior QB Taylor Tharp knows how to cash in. Eastern Carolina is a tough team to gauge they did lose to 2 ranked teams this year and when I say they lost I mean they got pummeled! I don’t think the defense can handle the high velocity Broncos offense they just seem kind of slow to me. The Pirate offense is very steady like the choo choo train going up a hill, it just doesn’t ever seem to get to the top and come racing down with big action plays, I’m not saying that the Broncos D will shut them down, because honestly they haven’t impressed me this year, but the fact is that the Pirates can’t keep up on the offensive side of the ball and that’s why the play is the Broncos giving the points.

It's college football postseason in paradise, as only the 50th state can do. The 2007 Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl is set to kick off Dec. 23 at Honolulu's Aloha Stadium with teams from Conference USA and the Western Athletic Conference on hand to compete for a coveted postseason title.
Hawaii Bowl History
This bowl was founded in 2002 by ESPN Regional, the marketing arm of the sports network, in partnership with the University of Hawaii, the Western Athletic Conference and Conference USA.
Aloha Stadium is home to the University of Hawaii's Warriors football team and hosts a multitude of other events including NFL Pro Bowl, baseball games, soccer matches, concerts, car shows, fairs and a swap meet - a popular shopping site for residents and tourists.
The first Hula Bowl All-Star Classic was played on January 5, 1946, marking the beginning of a post-season bowl game that has spanned seven decades and launched the professional careers of countless football greats. That inaugural game, founded by the legendary Hawaii sports promoter Mackay “Shogun of Sports” Yanagisawa, featured local Hawaiian All-Stars taking on a national “college” team. Much has changed, however, but the Aloha spirit of the game has remained the same.
One thing that has remained constant about the Hula Bowl is the incredible players that come to Hawaii year after year. Over the past 59 years, the Hula Bowl has seen such Heisman Trophy winners as Johnny Rogers, Jim Plunkett, Tony Dorsett, Billy Sims, Mike Garrett, Steve Owens, Rashaan Salaam, Danny Wuerffel, Ricky Williams, Ron Dayne, and Eric Crouch.
In 1997, the Hula Bowl joined forces with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), the Downtown Athletic Club (home of the Heisman Trophy Award) and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to create one of the strongest alliances among the post-season bowls. That game featured Notre Dames’ Lou Holtz being upstaged by Florida State’s Bobby Bowden, as Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel led his South squad to a 26-13 victory.
1998 brought dramatic changes for the Hula Bowl and its fans when the game moved to Maui, bringing the bowl into its present form. This move proved at the time to be a winning combination, as it gave the players an opportunity to play on natural grass in a beautiful setting.
Since 1998 there have been a number of exciting games led by well known collegiate players such as Drew Brees and not so well known Japanese players from the Kansai and Kantoh Football Associations in Japan. In the 2002 game alone 78 players were drafted or signed by an NFL team. Coaches and fans alike have seen some of the best players play their final collegiate game in the beautiful state of Hawaii; what a storied tradition it has been and will continue to be.
