BYU vs. Hawaii: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

It’s always nice to end your season in Hawaii, and the BYU Cougars (8-3) will do so as they travel to take on the Hawaii Warriors (6-6, 3-4).

BYU has quietly put together a great season, going 8-3. A win would secure a great bowl game for the Cougars while giving them a first-place finish among the Independents. While Hawaii is technically bowl-eligible at 6-6, they need a win in this game to guarantee a spot in a bowl game this year.

Where: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, HI

When: Saturday, Dec. 3, 7:30 PM ET

Watch: ESPN2 and ESPN3.com

Betting Line: According to Bodog, the betting line for this game is BYU favored by 7.5 points. Take the Cougars in this game, as BYU has the 24th-best defense in college football, allowing only 20 points per game. 

Key Storyline: Will BYU finish its season out strong with a win in Hawaii? 

Who Might Not Play for BYU: 

OL Matt Reynolds: Reynolds is probable for Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury. 

RB Joshua Quezada: Quezada is questionable for Saturday’s game due to personal reasons.  

DB Jray Galea’l: Galea’l is questionable with a back injury that held him out of their last game.  

Who Might Not Play for Hawaii:  

QB Bryant Moniz: Moniz is out for the year with a broken leg. 

LB Art Laurel: Laurel is out for the year with a broken arm. 

WR Justin Clapp: Clapp is out for the season with two fractured ribs.

BCS/Top 25 Implications:  

This game does not have a lot riding on it for the BCS or the Top 25 for either team. A win for BYU should have them cracking the Top 25 of the final BCS Standings. However, the Cougars have no shot at making a BCS bowl game. 

BYU Players to Watch:

QB Jake Heaps: Heaps played sparingly this year but still has directed the offense to 1,452 yards and nine touchdowns.

RB JJ Di Luigi: Di Luigi has carried this offense with 101 carries 532 yards and three touchdowns. 

WR Cody Hoffman: Hoffman has been the top receiver on this BYU team. His 46 receptions, 698 yards and six touchdowns are all career highs.
 

Hawaii Players to Watch: 

QB David Graves: Graves comes into this game as the starting quarterback for Hawaii. He will take command of the 10th-best passing attack in the NCAA.

RB Joey Iosefa: Iosefa leads the Warrior rushing attack with 106 carries, 541 yards and seven touchdowns.

WR Royce Pollard: Pollard doesn’t lead the Warriors in receptions, but he does lead the team with 963 yards and eight touchdowns.

Key Matchup: 

Hawaii’s David Graves vs. the BYU Defense. Graves has to command this dangerous passing attack in the wake of Bryant Moniz’s season-ending injury. If he can pick up where Moniz left off, the Warriors will have no problem winning this game. 

Prediction:

This game features a good defense against a great passing attack. BYU has not shown that they can handle good teams this year, losing to Texas, Utah and TCU.  

Hawaii’s passing game will prove to be too much for BYU this week, as they win their final game of the year.
