Colt Brennan

Colt Brennan, he's been everywhere, man: Laguna Beach, born there, 1983. Santa Ana. Played quarterback at Mater Dei High, once serving as backup to Matt Leinart. Worcester Academy, Massachusetts. One year of finishing school, although Brennan was far from done. Colorado. Walked on, spent a redshirt year, got into trouble after walking drunk into a woman's dorm room, pleaded guilty to trespassing and burglary charges, spent seven days in jail, and was dismissed from the football team.

Colt Brennan rallied Hawaii from 14 points down in the final 3 minutes 53 seconds by scoring the tying touchdown on a two-yard run with 31 seconds left in regulation, then threw an eight-yard scoring pass to Jason Rivers on the first possession of overtime to give the Warriors a 42-35 victory over San Jose State on Friday night at San Jose. The win for No.

Colt Brennan threw for 409 yards and five first-half touchdowns as Hawaii coasted past Division I-AA Eastern Illinois, 44-9, on Saturday night. The Warriors (2-2) aired it out against the Panthers (2-3), scoring early and often. Hawaii threw 38 passes and called only one run play in the first half, while jumping out to a 34-9 lead. Brennan passed for 369 yards in the one-sided half and led the Warriors to a 32-point lead before being taken out midway through the third quarter.

Louisiana Tech fell to 3-7 overall and 1-4 in conference.

As tropical vacations go, Colt Brennan is having one heck of a college football career. The Southern California kid is hanging around Honolulu these days, trying to get to the beach as often as possible and, in between, playing some quarterback for the University of Hawaii. That means running Coach June Jones' warp-speed offense, flinging passes as casually as Frisbees on the sand. It also means grabbing attention for himself at the western fringe of the game.

With three touchdown passes in Saturday's 42-35 win over Purdue, Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan moved to within three of the all-time single-season NCAA Division I-A record.

Colt Brennan broke the NCAA single-season record for touchdown passes, throwing five in the second half to lead Hawaii to a 41-24 victory over Arizona State on Sunday in the Hawaii Bowl. Brennan, who completed 33 of 42 passes for 559 yards, threw a seven-yard scoring pass to Ryan Grice-Mullen on the Warriors' second series of the second half to break the mark of 54 set by Houston's David Klingler in 1990, also against the Sun Devils.

When Hawaii plays top-ranked USC here today, Colt Brennan is expected to split time at quarterback for the Warriors. For Brennan, the game marks a reunion with former high school teammate and USC quarterback Matt Leinart. It also represents the start of a major college career delayed by a criminal conviction. In early 2004, as a reserve quarterback at Colorado, Brennan was arrested for drunkenly entering a female student's room and allegedly exposing himself and fondling her.
