Overall Breakdown: Hawaii had a very nice 2010 going 10-4 and making yet another bowl game. The offense was prolific as ever with 500+ yards per game of offense with 80% coming from the passing game. One of those 4 losses from 2010 was a surprising loss to a Colorado squad that did not do very well in 2010.  While they were one win away from bowl eligibility in 2010, the Buffaloes were -6.2 in the point score differential over the course of the season. 4 of the 7 losses were complete blowouts in which Colorado was not in the game at all. This game will be on the island of Hawaii and gives the Warriors a solid chance to enact revenge on the Buffaloes. This should be a close one but the smart money would be on Hawaii returning the favor and beating Colorado in 2011.
