North Dakota State vs Hawaii Prediction


Usually, Hawaii is a tough out on the island, but that hasn’t been the case this season, where it’s 1-3 SU. Hawaii just doesn’t have the horses offensively, and its defense can’t stop the run. Hawaii is 136th in rushing offense, 120th in scoring offense, and is 100th in rushing defense. Can’t stop the run, can’t run the ball; it’s a recipe for bad football and a lot of losses. North Dakota State isn’t perfect, but it’s one of the best defenses in college football, and that’s enough for this spot.

North Dakota State is second in total defense, passing defense, and scoring defense. That combined with Hawaii’s lack of offensive success, the Bison should have no problem in this spot. I’ll lay the touchdown with North Dakota State on Saturday night. Hawaii isn’t scaring anybody this season, even at home.
