Las Vegas - Gonna start the CFB party early, but you're gonna have to stay up late. Looking at Hawaii -2.5 points over Stanford on Saturday night. The Rainbow Warriors start year number four with head coach Timmy Chang at the X & O blackboard. If you're not familiar with Chang, he had a cup of coffee in the NFL with Eagles, Lions and Cards, but his claim to fame was as the QB at Hawaii back in 2000-2004. Timmy could sling it and finished his college career with 17,702 yards and 117 TDs. His Warriors closed last season strong, covering four of the last five. But the stat that caught my eye is, Hawaii comes into this game riding an 8-0 cover streak at home. Yea, EIGHT & OH! They hook a Stanford team that has been truly ugly that last four years, posting a 3-9 straight up record in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Look for Hawaii sophomore QB Micah Alejado to light it up through the air waves like he did in the final game of the 2024 season, hitting on 37 of 57 for 469 yards and FIVE TDs. The Honolulu branch of the Bank of Benj is wide open. Aloha baby!
