The Warriors kept their winning streak alive last night at Aloha Stadium beating Utah State 52-37. And they did that without the help of starting quarterback Colt Brennan for the entire second half.

Late in the second quarter Colt Brennan went down and stayed down as Warrior fans held their breath. An ankle injury, which has been bothering Brennan for weeks now, was aggravated when he was tackled by several Utah State players. Brennan got up and hobbled off the field, not a good sign for someone who is in the running for the Heisman Trophy.

Into the game came Tyler Graunke, the young quarterback who’s first start left some fans worried if Brennan remained out. But Tyler quickly stifled those worries with some good passes before the half.

He then came out in the second half, after Brennan tried a play but quickly called it a night, and played great. He ended the night 9-11 with 246 yards and 3 touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown.

With the win the warriors remained number 16 in the AP poll and dropped a spot in the Coaches poll to 16. We’ll keep you updated as to the condition of Colt Brennan as the week continues and let you know his status for the game this weekend against San Jose State.

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.
