In a battle between FCS and FBS, the Delaware State Hornets will travel to the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex on Saturday night to take on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in Week 0 action. The Hornets were terrible last season as they finished 1-10 and ended the season on a six-game losing streak. The Rainbow Warriors finished the 2023 season going 5-8.
This game should be intriguing, to say the least, so let's dive into the prediction and everything else you need to know before the game officially kicks off.
Delaware State vs. Hawaii Prediction
The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors should dominate this game as they are the better program right now. Not to mention the massive travel it will be and the time zone change for the Delaware State players and coaches, they are going up against a unique team.
Hawaii quarterback Brayden Schager has been one of the quarterbacks on the 2024 Manning Award Watch List and is expected to have an incredible start to the season.
Last season, the Hornets only averaged 15.0 points per game, taking out the victory over Virginia Lynchburg. Delaware State is likely to get handled convincingly in this game and expect the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors not to take its foot off of the gas pedal. Expect the Rainbow Warriors to crack 50+ points here and cover the massive spread in this game.
