Brennan helps Redskins move past Colts in Hall of Fame Game

Aug 4, 2008 - 3:28 AM CANTON, Ohio (Ticker) -- Colt Brennan's astounding collegiate success carried over to the Washington Redskins' first preseason game.

The rookie quarterback threw for 123 yards and two key scores to lead the Redskins over the Indianapolis Colts, 30-16, in Sunday's Hall of Fame game at Fawcett Stadium.

The win capped a three-day celebration in which revered Redskins Art Monk, Darrell Green and former assistant coach Emmitt Thomas were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

After throwing for 131 touchdown passes over three seasons at the University of Hawaii, the 24-year-old Brennan was drafted in the sixth round and 186th overall by the Redskins to serve as a potential backup to starting quarterback Jason Campbell.

In limited time, Campbell completed all five passes he threw, including a 20-yard touchdown to Antwaan Randle El at the 13:50 mark in the first quarter.

Brennan, who holds the college FBS record for the most touchdown passes in a single season with 58 along with 30 other NCAA marks, threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Mason with 10:30 left in the game to snap a 16-16 tie and give the Redskins the lead for good.

Jim Sorgi was 7-for-10 with 66 yards while filling in for the injured quarterback Peyton Manning, who underwent surgery to remove an infected bursa sac in his left knee and will miss most of the preseason.

Colts running back Joseph Addai had one carry for a 4-yard loss and was taken out of the game for precautionary reasons after suffering a minor head injury.
