UNLV needs one more victory to become bowl eligible, and if Hawaii doesn't correct its mistakes, the chances of ending this season of disappointment on a positive note are slim. We had plenty of chances to beat these guys, but the things we've done wrong all year came back to haunt us again. Hawaii remains one of the most penalized teams in the league. Part of the reason for that may be all the complaining Jones does about WAC officials. He has said publicly and privately that they are among the worst he has ever seen in his 25 years of coaching.
Turnovers also remain a problem.
The Warriors are last in the league and 96th nationally with a margin of minus-0.82. Our defense is starting to produce more turnovers, but our offense isn't doing a good enough job of protecting the ball. Noteworthy Hawaii offensive lineman Kynan Forney was the only player to make first team All-WAC for the Warriors, although Chang did win freshman of the year. He leads the WAC in total offense, averaging 293.8 yards a game. Forney is one of the better offensive tackles in the west.
