Box Score

HONOLULU - The University of Hawai`i moved to 9-0 for the first time since the 1925 season with a 37-30 victory against Fresno State in a Western Athletic Conference game in front of 49,047 fans at Aloha Stadium. Quarterback Colt Brennan tied two NCAA Division I career touchdown records in the game.

Brennan tied Brigham Young's Ty Detmer for most career touchdown passes (121) and most career touchdowns responsible for (135) with two passing and one rushing scores against the Bulldogs.

The Warriors (9-0, 6-0 WAC) are one of only two undefeated teams remaining in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I). UH extended their win streak to 10 games, tied with Kansas for the longest current streak in the country.

Lightning struck quickly as Brennan hit wide receiver Jason Rivers on a 67-yard post pattern on the third play of the game to put the Warriors up 7-0. Brennan finished the game completing 28-of-39 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game in the fourth quarter.

"I'm glad we could get the win," head coach June Jones said. "We started off pretty good and then got ourselves in a football game. (Colt) is fine. He'll be ready for the next game."

On UH's next possession, Brennan drove the offense down the field 83 yards on eight plays, capped by a 33-yard run by Leon Wright-Jackson. Brennan called his own number on UH's third possession from three yards out to lead 21-0. However, Bulldog A.J. Jefferson took the ensuing kickoff and returned it 98 yards to pull to within 14.

UH's Dan Kelly put the Warriors back on top by 17 splitting the uprights with a 25-yard field goal the next time UH had the ball.

Brennan then connected with Davone Bess on a 5-yard crossing route that gave UH a commanding 31-7 lead at the 11:26 mark in the second quarter. That TD pass by Brennan tied him with former Brigham Young quarterback Ty Detmer at 121 career TD passes for a share of the all-time NCAA Division IA career TD passing mark.

Fresno State (6-4, 5-2) added a 28-yard field goal by Clint Stitser to trim the deficit to 31-10 with 4:33 remaining in the second.

After recovering a fumble at the UH 26, the Bulldogs drove a short field with FSU quarterback Tom Brandstater finding Isaac Kinter in the back of the end zone for a 6-yard score. The extra point went wide right to pull FSU to within 31-16 with 37 seconds left in the second.

UH then drove 53 yards in 35 seconds to set up a 50-yard field goal by Kelly to take a 34-16 lead into the half.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Warriors opened up the fourth with Kelly booting his third field goal of the evening, a 24-yarder.

The Bulldogs took the kickoff and traveled 85 yards in five plays with Brandstater hooking up with wide receiver Marlon Moore on a 31-yard TD reception.

"Anytime we play Fresno, it is a tough game," linebacker Adam Leonard said. "Pat Hill's team is a run first and we knew they would have an attitude and not let up. We were fortunate to come out with a win."

Brennan would leave the game at the 10:43 mark after taking a head-on collision with FSU linebacker Marcus Riley.

"I'm doing fine," Brennan said after the game. "I'd like to thank everyone for the support they gave out there. I'm looking forward to getting back on the field for next week's game against Nevada."

The Bulldogs added a late score. UH recovered the onside kick and ran the clock out.

Hawai'i makes its final road trip of the season next week when the Warriors visit the Nevada Wolf Pack, Friday, Nov. 16, in an 8 p.m. MT (6 p.m. HST) nationally televised game on ESPN2.
