It was a sell out crowd at Aloha Stadium as the Warriors defeated number 19 ranked Boise State to keep their BCS hopes alive.

It was a packed house, both inside the stadium and outside. People came to tailgate only, try and get a ticket, and just be around the buzz. For a work day, it didn’t look like much of the state was working at all, and rightfully so, the Warriors were making UH history and trying to creep up the BCS rankings for a shot at the Fiesta Bowl, or better!

LSU had just lost to Arkansas in triple overtime, the number 2 and number 4 teams were set to play the next night, and Hawaii was looking to be the only unbeaten team in major college football.

The team took the field to a huge roar and it was on. The student section (where we were sitting) didn’t really sit for almost the entire game. Paper was shredded and tossed. Poms were thrown backwards, and the Warriors were pumped.

UH’s defense which hasn’t always been the best in the league played outstanding, and Colt Brennan played like he truly was a Heisman candidate. He was 40 for 53 with 495 yards passing, 5 touchdown passes and 1 rushing touchdown.

In the end, Hawaii came out victorious, 39-27, the students rushed the field and the Warriors kept their BCS hopes alive while winning their first ever WAC Title.

Next week the Warriors look to round out the season with a home game on Saturday night against Washington.
