Expert predictions as Sun Devils welcome Rainbow Warriors to Tempe

After some deep soul searching, our panel of experts have come to their conclusions on this final non-conference matchup of the season for the Sun Devils. Read what they had to say below:

David Howman (4-0)

Arizona State is figuring a lot of things out right now. Marcus Arroyo is taking over play calling again, in hopes of both reigniting the offense and allowing Kenny Dillingham to be more of his usual energizer bunny self.

I'm skeptical that this is what the Sun Devils need to save their season, but Hawaii is definitely the team to do it against. I expect a strong start that gives the impression the changes Dillingham just made are paying immediate dividends.

Aya Abdeen (3-1)

I was so wrong on my predictions last week (whoopsies). I expect Arizona State to have a better showing on the offensive end and defense to wake the heck up.

Arizona State wins 31-14

Andrew Hayslett (3-1)

Hawaii has been a team who can play power conference teams close. If the Sun Devils are not careful they could get into a close battle.

There is a chance of afternoon rain, and the game could be similar to the TCU game last year.

ASU 28, Hawaii 24

Tom Hardon (2-2)

Saturday brings a case of two teams looking for a change in fortunes. Hawaii comes in playing their sixth straight game without a bye, while Arizona State is playing their second of nine straight games.

The score will be closer than the initial spread indicates, as the Sun Devils took a hit with the loss of Lyrik Rawls. Hawaii’s bottom-10 offense will soften some of that blow, if the offense can pull their weight.
