    Why it likes it
    • Weeks 1, 4: San José State averaged 74.5 plays/game at 23.90 seconds/play; Hawai'i averaged 77.75, with usable pace 23.93 after excluding a bad 1.33 entry.
    • The teams averaged 68 combined first-half plays and 48 first-half drives: 68 ÷ 5.67 plays/drive projects 12.0 first-half drives versus 24.25 full-game drives.
    • Four-game samples drive the estimate; one Hawai'i pace entry was corrupted and excluded, adding model uncertainty.
