SUGAR BOWL PREDICTION
I've been going back and forth on this game more often than a drunk with a weak bladder but have finally come up with a solid prediction. In the one corner you have the crazy Island people who love to surf and catch the sun while playing with some of the best offensive players in the country including a quarterback who has shattered numerous NCAA records on the way to a perfect 12-0 season. In the other corner you have the laid back Georgian team which outfits athletes at every position who come into the Sugar Bowl contest as one of the hottest teams in the nation thanks to the outstanding play of RB "Special K"nowshon Moreno.

We know the Hawaii offense can put up a lot of points with June Jone's Run n' Shoot offense but will they be able to handle the depth the Dawgs bring into the game that can essentially wear them down in the latter stages of the ball game?

NOPE.

The Dawgs are going to come out with their ears pinned back early in the game and will constantly blitz to see how the Hawaii offense adjusts to their stunts. Whether or not Colt Brennan can pick up the blitzes will determine how long Hawaii "hangs" in this game. Brennan has had nagging injury problems throughout this season and I can see one coming up soon.

The other quarterback on the field, Matthew Stafford, will look to stay away from the costly turnovers a young QB is prone to have in a big bowl game. With numerous starts under his belt and his confidence growing, Stafford should have a decent game when all is said and done. RB Thomas Brown will step up to team with Moreno to provide a potent running attack that will keep the ball out of the hands of Brennan and company.

In what will be an up and down first half with plenty of scoring in the SuperDome, the Dawgs will simply out muscle and out man a Hawaii team with aspirations of winning their first BCS game in the second half.

PREDICTION: GEORGIA 38 HAWAII 28
