Brennan likely back for Hawaii at Idaho

Sep 29, 2007 - 10:45 AM No. 19 Hawaii (4-0) at Idaho (1-3) 5:00 pm EDT

MOSCOW, Idaho (Ticker) -- Colt Brennan should be back under center for Hawaii this week.

After missing a week with a sprained ankle, Brennan hopes to help the 19th-ranked Warriors defeat host Idaho in Western Athletic Conference action on Saturday.

A Heisman Trophy candidate, Brennan hurt his ankle on September 14 - a day before he helped Hawaii (4-0, 1-0 WAC) rout UNLV, 49-14. But he sat out last week's matchup with Football Championship Subdivision squad Charleston Southern as a precaution.

Tyler Graunke filled in for Brennan and passed for 285 yards and three touchdowns in the 66-10 romp, although he did toss two interceptions.

Under first-year coach Robb Akey, Idaho (1-3, 0-0) has dropped back-to-back contests, including a 42-35 setback to visiting Northern Illinois last Saturday.

Nathan Enderle passed for 423 yards and two TDs but was picked off three times in the setback. Deonte Jackson collected 111 yards and two scores on 20 carries for the Vandals.

Last year, Hawaii crushed Idaho in Honolulu, 68-10, behind five TD passes from Brennan.
