HONOLULU — The Hawaii Bowl is expected to be a shootout with two of the nation’s most prolific offenses on display.

No. 24 Hawaii and Tulsa average 1,000 yards of offense and 80 points combined, but Golden Hurricane coach Todd Graham isn’t buying into all the talk of an offensive showdown when the teams meet Friday.

“Everybody wants to talk about offense. Everybody wants to talk about throwing the ball all over everywhere. The bottom line of this game, just like any other game, the team that plays the best defense is going to win,” Graham said. “That’s how you win championships. No offense to the offensive guys.”

The Golden Hurricane (9-3) are riding a six-game winning streak, which includes a 28-27 victory at Notre Dame. In the last six games, Tulsa has averaged 43.2 points and 523 yards of offense.

Their pass defense, which allows 305.7 yards and is ranked 119th in the nation, will be tested against the high-flying Warriors, who lead the nation in passing at 387.8 yards.

“It’s been the same story all year, everybody’s pass offense versus our pass defense,” Tulsa defensive back Charles Davis said. “If we take care of our jobs and create takeaways, we’ll come out with a victory.”

But not many teams have been able to slow down the Warriors (10-3) with the exception of Boise State. Hawaii convincingly won nine of its last 10 games.
