Tonight the Trojans face off against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (or is it just Warriors now? Rainbows? Timmy Changs?). The spread is 19.5 last I checked which seems low. Hawaii has a June Jones hangover (does he still rock Hawaiin shirts now that he coaches SMU?) and is a bad team even by WAC standards. The last three times USC played Hawaii they scored over 60 points (2003, 2005, 1999). That's right, even a Paul Hackett team put up 60. So the spread tonight seems a little small. I'm not necessarily expecting the Trojans to put up 60, but I do expect them to cover easily.
For evaluation purposes, nothing good can come from this game. Either USC scores more than 40 and we all go "well, Hawaii sucks, so big deal," or USC struggles and we all think the sky is falling (see USC lackluster 2007 home opener against Idaho, never before has 38-10 looked so incredibly inept).
