Boise State Broncos (4-1) vs. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (2-3)
The Boise State Broncos are on a high this season courtesy of their dynamic attacking play and organized defence. In their last game, they trounced Utah State following a very impressive 62-30 demolition of the latter. Before that, they were able to beat Washington State 45-24 showing that they can score a lot against tough teams. The rest of the matches out of the last five demonstrate similar trends too, but also highlight some defensive mistakes that the team has been working on and rectifying.
Conversely, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors have experienced an inconsistent run. The last game ended with a close view of 24-27 against San Diego State, with the team putting out a fighting spirit but will still be licking their wounds. Earlier, they managed a huge victory against Northern Iowa, breezing past them 36-7, a game that displayed their ability when the time for execution came. Such shortcomings in performance may be attributed to factors such as changes in personnel in important positions or even the lack of a coherent game plan.
Maddux Madsen QB vs. Brayden Schager QB
This season, Maddux Madsen of Boise State College has been a revelation, completing 85 out of 135 pass attempts for 1056 yards. Despite facing intense pressure, Madsen has managed a 63% completion rate and has recorded only two interceptions which highlight his accuracy and decision making in the face of pressure. Madsen’s performance is very important for the offense of the team Boise State in particular the way he turns different plays into scoring as shown by his 10 touchdowns this season.
Nonetheless, Brayden Schager from Hawaii appears to have put in considerable effort and achievement too. Schager passed for 1328 yards, completing 124 passes, and his grit should be recognized even if it is hard considering the fact that his completion percentage is 60.5% with constant bombardment case in point. He cannot be faulted – after all, that was a debut season playing with, for a badly outgunned team against the Boise State team.
