Brennan, Hawaii try to stay unbeaten vs. Fresno State

Nov 10, 2007 - 11:31 AM Fresno St (6-3) at No. 14 Hawaii (8-0) 11:05 pm EST

HONOLULU (Ticker) -- The number of undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision is down to three. Colt Brennan and Hawaii would like to continue to be one of them.

Brennan and the 14th-ranked Warriors look to remain perfect on the season when they host Fresno State in a Western Athletic Conference matchup.

Hawaii (8-0, 5-0 WAC) is joined by just No. 1 Ohio State and No. 5 Kansas in the ranks of unbeaten squads.

The Warriors have not played since October 28, when they crushed New Mexico State here, 50-13.

A Heisman Trophy candidate, Brennan threw for 425 yards and six touchdowns with one interception for Hawaii, which jumped out to a 23-0 second-quarter lead and cruised thereafter.

A senior, Brennan has thrown for 2,820 yards and 26 touchdowns with 11 picks on the season.

Hawaii is tied atop the WAC standings with Boise State, which visits here on November 23.

Fresno State (6-3, 5-1) is just a half-game back of both squads, though it lost to Boise State on October 26, 34-21.

The Bulldogs rebounded with a 38-27 home win over Utah State last week as Clifton Smith and Ryan Mathews combined to rush for 232 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bulldogs won here two years ago, 27-13, but Hawaii posted a 68-37 road rout last year behind 409 yards and five TDs from Brennan.
