Exactly two months from today, we will find out where and when Colt Brennan will go in this year’s NFL draft. In the meantime, we just have to wait it out and see. Lucky for Colt Brennan fans, he’s right in the thick of things at the NFL Scouting Combine. His impressive performance this weekend may yet turn heads and prove he’s worth an early pick.

What are your thoughts? Where do you think he’ll go in the draft?

The Warriors quarterback, Colt Brennan, despite being injurred and missing several quarters in several games this season has be named a finalist in the Heisman Trophy race, which is given to college footballs best player.

He along with three others will be finalists for the Heisman Trophy.

Colt Brennan - QB Hawaii
Chase Daniel - QB Missouri
Darren McFadden - RB Arkansas
Tim Tebow - QB Florida

The decision will be made from the New York Athletic Club and you can watch the action at 8pm eastern. Last years winner was Ohio State QB Troy Smith.

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.

The UH Warrior football team continues to gain in the AP and USA Today Polls with each win. Their most recent victory came this weekend against Fresno State where the Warriors scored 37 to Fresno’s 30.

UH fans were silent late in the game when star quarterback Colt Brennan was literally knocked out as he scrambled left on a pass play. The quarterback left the game with a concussion and is making a quick recovery, hopefully in time for the game this weekend.

Although the Warriors have been able to climb in the AP and the USA Today polls they’ve been unable to make it past 16 in the BCS poll, the one poll they most likely will need to make it to 12 to get into a BCS bowl.

However, they’re last few games, Nevada, Boise State, and Washington could catapult them into a top spot if they remain unbeaten. The national credibility of the WAC conference isn’t that great, even with a team like Boise State winning their BCS bowl last year.

If the warriors are to make it up to the top 10, where some analysts believe they belong, they’re going to have to show the nation, in these last few games, that they are for real. Big wins at Nevada and at home against Boise State and Washington would do just that.

This weekend the Warriors travel to Nevada for their game on Friday.

The UH Warrior Football team, which was resting this week with a bye, moved up in all the polls including the big one, the BCS where they may have a chance at playing in the BCS Tostidos Fiesta Bowl.

The Warriors moved up one spot to 17 in the BCS poll and moved up to 14th in both the Harris Interactive Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll. They’re also now 16 in the AP poll as well.

Probably one of the more interesting comments I heard this weekend, as announcers around the nation doubt how good the Warriors really are, was a comment from Brent Musberger while calling the Michigan - Illinois game this weekend. He said, opposing Kirk Herbstreit, that the Warriors would make it to a BCS bowl, and insisted on it.

We’ll wait and see what the remainder of the Warriors season holds for them but this weekend they’ll have to make it past New Mexico State at Aloha Stadium.

The UH Warrior football team stayed undefeated this weekend with a win over San Jose State in overtime. As the Warriors bounce around in the WAC they also find themselves looking for credibility with the AP where they fell to 18th and in the Coaches Poll where they fell to 17th (both from 16th).

Those are the user generated polls. Now, for the first time in the history of the BCS, the Warrior football team finds themselves needing to impress the computers. With that win they find themselves sitting in 18th place in the first BCS standings of the season that were released today. The highest ranked team from the WAC. On top of the standings sit Ohio State and South Florida.

The UH Warrior Football Team needed a comeback 4th quarter and a dominant overtime to stay undefeated and preserve their rank among the upper echelon of NCAA teams.

Colt Brennan threw for a WAC record 75 times for 545 yards, 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. One announcer last night summed up the game for Brennan pretty well saying something to the effect of Colt was able to put himself out of the running then back into the running for the Heisman Trophy all in one game.

And it was true. His turnovers were tough to swallow as he looked unlike his usual cool composed self for the first 3 quarters. Even in the 4th quarter, he brought the Warriors to within 7 with a touchdown score, but on the next UH drive threw an interception that looked like it would end the game for the Warriors.

A quick San Jose fumble and UH recovery allowed some life to be pumped back into the Warriors which showed as Colt Brennan rushed his way to a tie game from the 2 yard line after several easy completions for the recomposed quarterback.

Then in overtime, a quick TD completion and a UH interception and the Warriors stayed undefeated with their BCS hopes still alive.

The UH warrior football team, ranked 16 in both the major national college football polls is being considered one of the top runners for the BCS bowl, the Tostidos Fiesta Bowl. (Let’s hope this doesn’t jinx ‘em.)

The scout for the Bowl is going to be at the UH Football game this Friday in San Jose and will be looking at the potential for UH to be one of the options.

In order to qualify for the game UH would most likely have to finish the season undefeated and finish in the top 12 of the BCS rankings. I say undefeated because their strength of schedule might not help them out if they lose a game.

Also a possibility, if UH loses a game, knock on wood, they would have to finish in the top 16 of the BCS rankings and be higher than a champion of one of the six conferences that is guaranteed a BCS bowl spot, the WAC not being one of them.

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.

Although we don’t know the complete schedule we have heard that athletic director Herman Frazier was able to secure 13 games next season as opposed to the snafu this year of only 12 games. The NCAA allows for 13 regular season games.

We do know that the UH Warrior football team will get a couple of tough opponents in addition to it’s WAC schedule, both at the beginning and at the end of the season. The biggest name in the bunch is defending national champions Florida. The Warriors will play Florida on the road.
The Warriors are playing the following non-conference games:

Aug. 30th - Florida
Sept. 6th  - Weber State
Sept. 13th - Oregon State
Nov. 29th - Washington State
Dec. 6th    - Cincinnati

Starting with Florida will really set the pace for UH and could bust them onto the national scene for good.
