June Jones (official thread)

June Jones: Bring on the best
The Hawaii coach feels the Warriors are capable of competing with anyone
By Dave Reardon

Oregon State is next on the schedule, but June Jones and his Warriors are ready for the world. The Hawaii coach feels his team can compete with the best in college football, and he wants to expand the game internationally.
At his weekly news conference yesterday, Jones addressed a comment he made after Saturday's victory over Purdue about being able to beat top-ranked and undefeated Ohio State. He also revisited the topic of marketing UH football and playing games in Asia and Australia.
When asked about the Ohio State remark, Jones said the No. 24 Warriors -- who have won nine straight and seven in a row at home -- can compete with anyone at Aloha Stadium.
"I feel like right now, you bring anybody in here, no matter who it is, we're gonna have a chance to outscore 'em," Jones said. "Our defense is playing well enough. There's some areas we obviously have to get better in, both offensively and defensively. But we can compete with anybody at home."
Hawaii (10-2) leads the nation in scoring, total offense and passing offense. UH quarterbacks coach Dan Morrison -- not known for hyperbole -- said the Warriors offense "might be the best ever in college football."
Most of UH's offensive fireworks have been against Western Athletic Conference teams with poor defenses. But the Warriors piled up a season-high 653 yards and pulled out a 42-35 win in the fourth quarter against Purdue (8-5) of the Big Ten on Saturday. Jones said Boilermakers coach Joe Tiller -- whose team played against Notre Dame's Brady Quinn -- told him UH quarterback Colt Brennan is the best quarterback he's seen.
... [yada yada yada] ...

Hawaii would indeed play us very tough in Aloha Stadium if we played them after the Big Ten season. If we played there at the beginning of the season, we'd win by a couple TDs. The distance/timezone factor is too much to downplay. But if Hawaii were to play us in The Shoe--regardless of what point in the season--we'd blow them out...

The home cooking they get from having the same refs do every home game is nice homefield advantage too

Hawaii would put up some points but their defense would never stop us. IMO, the score would be something like 63-28.

June is smokin' some of that good Maui [censored]!
Even with the home cookin', they would get destroyed!
We put 42 on probably the best defense in the country, how many would we put on that pathetic defense?
70? 80?
Only the clock would stop the scoring!
But, maybe he got the notice for his team he was looking for!
