Norm Chow is basically a confused old man and he should not be a head coach, at any level, heading into the 2014 season. But Hawaii has been so desperate for something positive since June Jones left that they will give Chow another year to try to recapture the magic he may or may not have had over a decade ago.

Hawaii has 13 starters back and they have some key statistical indicators pointing to improvement. They lost five games by a touchdown or less last year and were at least an obstacle at home. But they were ranked No. 104 or worse in all defensive categories and were No. 57 or worse in everything but passing.

The Warriors at least have an opportunity for something positive early in the season. They open with three games at home and should be able to handle Northern Iowa. They also have a winnable road game at Rice on Oct. 4. But beyond that there isn't a lot to get excited about. And they won't be favored at all in league play.

I think Hawaii will be better this year. They can't really get worse. But I think that a jump to four wins is way optimistic. I wouldn't touch this total because I think they get to three wins.
