The MRI Says...10/12/07

Apparently Florida State is not back.

You have to wonder about how much longer Bobby Bowden can continue to coach at the school when he can't motivate his players to take revenge on a team that embarrassed them last season. Previous incarnations of Florida State would have had no trouble with the Demon Deacons. This version had a very different result.

Recruiting looks to be down at the school. Motivation on the field looks to be down. Even the ability to take a game and close opponents out is gone. This team hasn't been the same since their National Championship win over Virginia Tech, almost 8 years ago.

Maybe Florida State should look to go back to being an all girls school. It seems that is how they have been playing lately.

Friday night brings us a yawner to go up against two MLB LCS games. Watch Hawaii continue to roll tonight.

#15 Hawaii at San Jose State - The undefeated Hawaii Warriors look to continue that trend as they come to the mainland for a showdown with the San Jose Spartans. The biggest issue in this game will be the health of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan. He has already missed one game this season and has left several others early, giving way to backup Tyler Graunke. Graunke has shown that he is more than capable of the task, but Brennan's absence and Graunke's easy success prompt questions about Brennan's candidacy for the Heisman. Look for Hawaii to win this one going away.
MRI Says: Hawaii Confidence Factor: 77.53%

This Week: 0-2
Season Record: 82-35, 70.09%
Lifetime Record: 1444 - 609, 70.34%

All rankings are the current MRI ranking of the team
