Through 3 Quarters

The experts predicted a defeat for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, but with just one quarter left to go, they seem like they might make the experts look bad. They have emerged as the frontrunner after three quarters and are ahead of the Fresno State Bulldogs 24-16. Hawaii has been led by QB Chevan Cordeiro, who so far has accumulated 192 passing yards in addition to rushing for two TDs and 56 yards.

The Hawaii defense has been merciless to QB Jake Haener and currently has four sacks accrued. That goes a long way towards explaining why the Rainbow Warriors have a good chance of pulling out a victory.
