The 2007 Sheraton Hawaiʻi Bowl was the eighth edition of the post-season bowl game that pitted the Boise State University Broncos from the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) against the East Carolina University Pirates from Conference USA (C-USA) in a postseason American college football game at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. The game was the final competition of the 2007 football season for each team and resulted in a 41-38 East Carolina victory, even though spread bettors favored Boise State to win by 12 1/2 points. The bowl game paid out $750,000 to both the WAC and C-USA.

The Broncos stormed back, and tied the score at 38 after Chris Johnson fumbled and Marty Tadman recovered the ball and ran 47 yards for a touchdown. As time ran out, East Carolina's Ben Hartman made a 34 yard game winning field goal. The attendance of 30,467 made it largest crowd to attend the game without the host school playing. Boise State's loss brought it to a final 2007 record of 10-3, while East Carolina's final-game win earned it a record of 8-5.


Selection Process

Hawaiʻi football normally receives an automatic bid to the game unless Hawaii goes to a BCS game or is not bowl eligible. If either of those events happen, then the WAC selects the next highest ranked team to compete in this bowl.[5] The 2007 game was the second not to feature Hawaiʻi, as they were selected to play on January 1 in the 2008 Sugar Bowl against Georgia.[6][7] The only other game prior to this where the home team failed to make an appearance was in 2005 because of a 5-7 record.[8]

C-USA fields the other team in this competition. The Liberty Bowl picks first and GMAC Bowl picks second. After those two are picked, the conference provides a team for the Hawaiʻi Bowl and three other bowls. The University of Central Florida accepted the bid to compete in the 2007 Liberty Bowl. Tulsa accepted the bid to compete in the 2008 GMAC Bowl. East Carolina was selected on December 1.[9]

Boise State was undefeated in conference play going into the final game of the regular season, against the Warriors.[10] BSU lost 39-27 in that contest.[11] The Bronco players decided to travel to Hawaiʻi, rather than play in at home in the Humanitarian Bowl, which is located in Boise, Idaho.[12] Boise ended the regular season 10-2 overall, and 7-1 in conference play.[13]

East Carolina was in first place of the C-USA East division with two games left. After the team lost to Marshall University, ECU fell into second place, and out of the C-USA Championship.[14] After winning against conference foe Tulane, the Pirates decided to travel to the Hawaii Bowl.[15] Bast Carolina ended the regular season 7-5 overall, and 6-2 in conference play.[13]

Pre-game buildup
