I do not know who to attribute this research to because it came to me by email from someone who said it was posted on DAWGVENT. If anyone knows the original author, I will be happy to attribute. Either way, it is good work and I thought I would share it.
I know everyone is aware of the less-than-stellar competition that Hawaii has faced, but I wanted to try to shed more light on the defenses that they have played. I included Colt Brennans (CB) stats just as an FYI. (I also included a summary at the bottom)

Wow - can't say I'm surprised, but had no clue it was that bad for the rainbows.
I don't however believe this means they will roll over & play dead at the Sugar. I think we're gonna be in a dogfight a la the mountainqueers at the Sugar in 2005 season. Let's just hope the outcome is a little different this time.
