Timmy Chang was a heralded football player in his heroic days playing for the Rainbow Warriors but his coaching stint has been accompanied by frustration, lack of execution and underwhelming offenses in seasonal totality. I just cannot explain how a guy who ran the system so effectively couldn’t get Braeden Shager up to speed consistently enough to be effective, consistently needing to be bailed out by the deep ball. The offensive line was such a turd unit last season surrendering 78 TFLs and 43 sacks. Shager was consistently running for his life and countless throw-aways, scrambles, and incomplete passes (57% completions) were the result. 19 TDs is obscenely low here at Hawaii where quarterbacks routinely pass for 30-40 scores, and the run game was so pathetic with all Hawaii players totaling 1 rushing score outside of QB B. Shager's 6. A consistent staple of the run and shoot offense is consistent performance in standard downs and keeping ahead of the chains. Third + 4th down should be a breeze for this pass happy bunch and yet, the bows were in third down a ton and converted at a woeful 37% clip on the season. The defense kept this group in some games this year but as is the case concomitant to high travel, the road performances left a lot to be desired. 2024 saw Hawaii defeat 2 FCS opponents, Nevada, New Mexico, and Fresno state (1 point win, Hawaii was down 20-7 with 4 minutes remaining. miracle win). With two P5 foes on the slate, along with SHSU who defeated Hawaii by 18 last year, and facing 7 of the top 8 in MWC play, I feel the mountain is too big a climb to surpass 6.5 RSW. A fair number is 5.5 as I feel this team will compete hard and fight, claw and scratch their way to a chance at bowl eligibility in the final week, but I cannot see this team ascending to a position where they win 7 games. Terrible in the redzone (24/42), terrible on third down, couldn’t run the ball, couldn’t sustain drives. Too big a hill to climb. Even with penciling them in at home against Stanford (no easy task), this bunch will struggle to make a bowl game and Timmy C might be surfing by thanksgiving. UNDER.

Tulane did a really nice job rallying the troops after suffering losses in competitive games against K-St and Oklahoma. After a close road win against ULL, this group blew through the AAC schedule with relative ease until the loss against memphis the last week of the season. The loss against Army in the AAC title game was not shocking in and of itself, but the way this bunch was so out of position on defense, and the lack of execution offensively was stunning. this team was just simply not ready to play, nor were they in the bowl game after suffering a plethora of opt outs. This year Tulane seeks to run the table again and they are the conference favorite at the time of writing this. The Green Wave do lose significant pieces offensively including Darian Mensah at QB,Makhi Hughes if off to Oregon, four of the top 5 pass catchers are gone, three on the OL are gone, and there is a complete revamp in the heart of the defense, the DL. The way the schedule sets up with Northwestern, Duke and Ole Miss on the schedule along with road trips to South Alabama, UTSA and Memphis, my opinion is that there is too much to overcome to assume this team is 9-3 or better once again. This proud bunch can still accomplish quite a bit this season including potentially winning the league, but the Non-conf. is tricky this year. Home bouts with ECU and Army wont be cake walks either. With odds on the regular season win all over the map, I was able to find under 8.5 +110, over at Bet MGM. this under is priced at anywhere from -120 to -135 at other shops, so the general market consensus is that this team is going to take a step back this season.

NCAA Weekly Wagers: Week 0: Fresno State +14.5 (FD)
A significant amount of production last season from both sides of the ball. Concern again is a patch-worked offensive line and a group that could not run the ball effectively last season (65 yards per game, 2.5 YPC) and at times showed tendency to abandon the run game...Completely. Without the heroics of Shedeur Sanders and their four top pass catchers from last season, this offensive unit is going to have a lot of re-tooling to work on, and "not" running the football should be considered NOT AN OPTION here. This group faced plenty of...descending b12 teams last year including OK State, Utah, Cincy, Arizona, UCF, and took a hail mary to beat Baylor. there were 43 sacks given up by the OL and countless other pressures and havoc plays that Sanders had to wiggle out of. Without the poise of SS to do that...again this season we should see less heroisms and less explosivity out of CU. When lining up against BYU, K state, Utah, ASU, Iowa State, etc. this team is going to have to lean in on the run game in order to stay in games and if they cannot or are simply unwilling to run...the football this could spell trouble. Interestingly Phil has the true freshman QB lewis starting ahead of K. Salter, who xfers in from Lib. cannot see that going well in the locker room as I cannot imagine he came all the way out there to sit on the sidelines. maybe they rotate?defensively the group seems okay overall but still replaces significant production with 3 rock solid DL gone, and plenty of talent lost in the secondary. just feels like a bunch going sideways while everyone else is getting better, the schedule really toughens up. I have this...Colorado group decided underdogs (7+ points) in 6 games this year, while being slight underdogs in three others. (could be coin flips against UH and WVU) team could be favored in as little as 4 games this year and would require three legitimate upsets to clear this win total.
Until the wallet is full.

I just cannot get to 7 wins on the schedule for this group with what they have coming back and factoring the lost production for Colorado. When looking at the returning production, the offensive line was patch-worked together last year and without focusing on the run game the unit allowed 43 sacks and countless other QB pressures and havoc worthly plays that did not result in sacks due to S. Sanders QB heroics. The team ran for just 65 yards per game on just 2.5 yards per carry on the season. This year they lose their Starting center, one interior gaurd and RT also departs so once again this OL is going to rely heavily on transfers to get the job done. With Sanders off to the NFL along withtheir four top pass catchers from last season this colorado offense is less likely to be dynamic and big play capable, and will have no choice but to rely on the offensive line and run the football at some point this season. The group brings In Salter from Liberty but interestingly enough Phil hass 17-year old true freshman Juju Lewis slated as the number 1, and I cannot imagine Salter left Liberty to sit on the bench in Boulder. The defensive line could have an impact in many games if the G5 transfers hit but this is still a question mark with the production lost from last year. The secondary losses loom large with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter off to the NFL, along with additional contributors and role players departing. Special teams graded out just 111th last year in the Phil rankings, and with key special teams contributors gone, this unit is not likely to be exceedingly impactful once again. The schedule is brutal in facing GT in the opener, along with K State, ASU, Utah, BYU, Iowa State, TCU, and Houston and WVU on the road. Just not alot of turds in the bunch and while this colorado team still has talent, getting back to a bowl game and WINNING that bowl game should be quite the accomplishment for the Buffalos this season. The market on this RSW under 6.5 is anywhere from -170 all the way up to -210 so at -140/-150 This number is worth a play here in my opinion. I feel the fair number is 5.5 and we are still getting some helmet sticker respect here given the heroics and dazzling play of the buffs last season. It took squeakers against NDSU and a hail mary against Baylor, and they also faced DESCENDING teams in UCF, Arizona, Utah and OK State that were far from competitive down the stretch. The schedule stiffens in a big way this year. UNDER

I just cannot get to 7 wins on the schedule for this group with what they have coming back and factoring the lost production for Colorado. When looking at the returning production, the offensive line was patch-worked together last year and without focusing on the run game the unit allowed 43 sacks and countless other QB pressures and havoc worthly plays that did not result in sacks due to S. Sanders QB heroics. The team ran for just 65 yards per game on just 2.5 yards per carry on the season. This year they lose their Starting center, one interior gaurd and RT also departs so once again this OL is going to rely heavily on transfers to get the job done.

As far as CU m: I agree on a lot. The Linebackers offensive line will take a few weeks to gel. I think the O’Line is the best unit they have had in a long time but they are all transfers and young guys.
When a strong O’Line runs the ball in past seasons they learn from the mistakes the unit makes together. The fix previous season problems. They have tendencies and work together.
Shedeur made deals with wideouts to not only elevate himself but to elevate the WR core that transferred in. Shurmur wasn’t running the offense. He was coaching to what Deion wanted. Now they want to run the ball with a lack of a strong running back room and an offensive line that is going to need time to learn from trial by fire.
Salter should start but who knows what Deion wants. 2023 wasn’t really a season because of what the team talent became. Last year was season one in my opinion.
As you discussed they had a lucky ending against Vaylor and an unlucky home loss to K St. I also agree that last season opponents were in regression and the lines CU faced are going to be much more difficult.
I really see them taking care of GTCH in week 1 and soon after that the floor drops.
It was shocking to me last year how much CU was able to produce against supposedly better teams. BYU in the bowl game showed me what CU potentially faces this season and they won’t have a talent at QB as good as Shedeur.
I think CU is going to look terrible at times this season because their opponents make them look bad. Last season that wasn’t the case.
+6.5 wins looks like an over until I remember what Nebraska and BYU did to them. If the opponents are similar to those it’s going to be cold in Boulder early.
Climbing out of the hole Deion took over has looked simple. Not this season.
Nothing is ever in the bank until it is in the bank

This arkansas state group was as fortunate as it gets last season as we saw the Red Wolves routinely win the squeakers. Needing miracle comebacks against Central Arkansas and Tulsa were telling enough, but this team was able to capitalize against opponent misfortune against South Alabama, Troy, Ga St, and ULM before defeating BG in the bowl game. Against the upper eschelon of the SBC last season Ark State was blown out. The defense is breaking in a new DC and new schemes and while fortuitous at times last season I am very skiptical of all three defensive units this season. The group allowed 5.7 yards per carry last year and 63% completion percentage. The offense returns QB Raynor but I am concerned about losing 4/5 top receivers from last year and 4/5 on the offensive line. This team is going to have to outscore opponents this season in order to stay in games and I am not confident that the offense will have the explosivity or intestinal fortitude in the trenches to hold up. Just looking at the slate, I have this team underdogs in 8 games, although not significant underdogs. The Non Con is tough with Arkansas and Iowa State on the slate followed by an immeidate roady at Kennesaw State. All of the SBC home games (Texas State, Ga South, Sou Miss, ULL) are going to be extremely tough, so the winnables are mostly on the road. Even so, at ULM, South Alabama, Troy and App are no picnics. I could see a 1-3 or 2-2 start and the four game stretch of Texas State, South Alabama, Ga Southern, Troy and Sou. Miss could be trouble. While not out of the question, this group would likely have to win their last three games for this win total to go over, playing Southern Miss (who is off a bye), Louisiana, and at App State. My overall sentiment is that this team is headed for major regression this upcoming season and we already saw chinks in the armour last year as the OL gave up 35 sacks and 70 tackles for loss, the majority of that coming in the back half of the slate. This could go sideways quickly. Under.
