Colt Brennan will appear on the cover of the October 8th issue of ESPN Magazine. We snagged this image below of the cover shot from ESPN.com.

Colt Brennan who missed last weeks game against Charleston Southern due to an injury will continue his heisman run this week against Idaho. He says his ankle is healed and he’ll be back to full force in time for the game.

Colt Brennan said he’s fit to play this weekend when the Warriors take on WAC opponent Idaho in Idaho.

Colt has been out for a little over a week with a sprained ankle endured prior to the UNLV game. He missed Saturday’s game against Charleston Southern where the Warriors decisively won 66-10 with Tyler Graunke leading the charge. Even without playing in the game Colt Brennan remained near the top of the leader board as one of the nations best passers.

Brennan said his ankle was still a little swollen but expects that by Saturday it’ll be good to go.

Game time for this weekends match-up is 11:00 am Hawaii time and is available live on pay per view or you can see the game replayed at 9:30 pm on Saturday and 10:00 am on Sunday.

The intense watch of Colt Brennan and the status of his ankle is back this week as the UH Warrior football team prepares for their game against Idaho this weekend in Moscow, Idaho.

For those of you who saw the game this weekend or watched highlights you probably noticed that Colt Brennan was pacing the sidelines helping out the younger Graunke. Colt was actually ready to go into the game if he was needed but June Jones decided to let Tyler Graunke tough it out and give his star some rest.

Personally I think it was a good idea. UH won the game 66-10 and was able to give their star that they need for the remainder of the season a much needed rest. If Colt continued to play on his ankle it might never heal and he could be 80% all year long or worse, do long term injury.

The UH sports world will be watching practice intently this week as they prepare to see what the decision will be for this Saturday’s game. Our guess is that Colt will be playing. However, if he’s not close to 100% it would make sense to rotate him in and out with Graunke seeing as how Tyler was able to lead the warriors this past game.

The University of Hawaii Football team pummeled Charleston Southern 66-10 last night at Aloha Stadium and did so without their star quarterback Colt Brennan. After injuring his ankle last week before the UNLV game, Colt Brennan was questionable all week long.

Finally, when the Warriors offense took the field, the man at the helm was Tyler Graunke. Graunke threw for 285 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

With the win the Warriors moved one spot in the USA Today Poll to 17th and remained at 19th in the AP Poll. The Warriors improved their record to 4-0 on the season. We’ll keep you posted on the status of Colt as the week progresses toward their game against Idaho this Saturday.

Colt Brennan had an abbreviated workout yesterday which is a huge improvement over most of this week, where he’s been crouched over crutches watching practice.

In his own words Colt said that “It feels a lot better every day. If it continues to heal the way it’s been healing, and Saturday I wake up and it feels good and I can go, I’m gonna go. No doubt about that.”

That’s great news for Warrior fans who don’t want to see there season come to an early end with a silly loss to an unknown team (no offense to Charleston Southern.)

The UH Warriors have been creeping up the rankings every week as they continue to impress the nation with a high powered and explosive offense and a defense that’s been consistently stopping both the run and pass.

An unusual site for the UH Warrior football team and fans this week is star quarterback and Heisman hopeful Colt Brennan hobbling around the sidelines with crutches.

Brennan, who hurt is ankle last week Friday before the game against UNLV, played the game, racking up rushing touchdowns and passing touchdowns, but may be paying the price.� The warriors have been off to a great start this season, lead by their quarterback, as they try to make a name for themselves on the national scene.

They go into the game against non-conference opponent Charleston Southern ranked 18th in the nation.� Backing up Brennan if needed to help UH hold that position is fourth year junior Tyler Graunke.

June Jones obviously hasn’t made any big decisions yet but the word on the street is that Brennan may be able to practice as early as Thursday, giving him time to test his ankle for Saturdays game at Aloha Stadium.

This weekends UH football game set the tone for the season. They managed to allow only 6 points against DI-AA opponent Northern Colorado while scoring 63 points of their own.

Colt Brennan, Heisman hopeful, played only 1 half of football and looked like he didn’t even loose a single beat from where he left off last season. He ended the half completing 34 of 40 passes for 416 yards. This leads the nation and he only played one half!

There was one thing that looked a little different this year as I sat in the stands saturday night watching Colt run his offense. All the players had all eyes on Brennan, all the time. He looked in total control in the huddle, total control at the line, and never looked rattled once. Can this poise take him to a Heisman trophy? Only the season will tell.

The University of Hawaii Warrior football team is ready to begin it’s 2007 season with a night game against Northern Colorado at Aloha Stadium. Hawaii comes into the game with a pre-season ranking of 23, the first time warrior football has been in the pre-season polls.

Northern Colorado is a Division I-AA team while the Warriors are Division I.

A lot of buzz is surrounding the warriors as they had an amazing season last year being lead by QB Colt Brennan who’s come back for another year to see what records he can shatter, if he can win a heisman trophy, and who knows, maybe get into a prestigiuos bowl game and say Aloha to the Aloha Bowl for one year.

It will be interesting to see if they come out prepared this year or if they’ll expect to roll over Northern Colorado. Already today number 5 Michigan lost to a Division I-AA team, lets not see another ranked DI team loose out.
