Colt Brenan for Heisman because Broke the NCAA record for most TD passes in two seasons (now has 88) and broke the NCAA single-season mark of 54 set by Houston's David Klingler in 1990. Klingler also held the two-season record of 83) and thrown 5 TD and 566 passing yards.
If you don't belive that he should win the Heisman.

What They're Saying...

" He was phenomenal against us, the best quarterback performance we've ever faced"

"Hey mainland. If you've been sleeping on Colt Brennan this is your wake up call. The Hawai'i quarterback is unbelievable. The numbers for this guy are just astonishing."

Pat Hill (Fresno State Head Coach)
"Give a lot of credit to Hawai'i. We ran into a buzz saw tonight. Their quarterback was really on. I don't remember playing against a quarterback as hot as that. There's no doubt that Hawai'i is a Top 25 team. They are very good. Their quarterback, Brennan, is the key to their offense. He's played outstanding every game. He was phenomenal against us, the best quarterback performance we've ever faced. They way they are playing right now offensively, they'll score a lot of points on anyone in the country."

Keenan Davis (NFL.com)
" I've watched Hawai'i junior quarterback Colt Brennan play several times this season. I'm finally convinced that you are not a system quarterback. Yes, Brennan plays in a passing system.But listen carefully; Brennan threw for over 4,300 yards last season (eighth most in WAC history). He has already thrown 39 touchdowns this season -- a school record. He doesn't make many mistakes -- he just ended a streak of 182 consecutive passes without an error -- another school record. And another thing, he's a winner. He won the state championship in basketball and football during his storied high school career at Mater Dei. Against Utah State, he completed 18 of 29 passes for 413 yards and six touchdowns in leading his team to an embarrassing 63-10 victory. He throws TD passes like I throw away column rough drafts (writers out there, I know you feel me on that). At 6'3, 190 pounds, Brennan has pin-point accuracy with the arm to make all of the big throws. The former Colorado Buffalo signee moves well enough in the pocket to buy time to punish you with his throwing prowess. I cannot stress how accurate his arm is."

Brennan eyeing return to Hawaii, but NFL not ruled out
Associated Press

HONOLULU -- After breaking the NCAA single-season touchdown record, Colt Brennan isn't sure he's ready to take a shot at the NFL just yet.
So far, Brennan says he'll return to Hawaii for his senior year unless an NFL team indicates it will select him with a high draft pick.
"Right now, I'm planning on coming back next year," Brennan said.
Brennan broke the NCAA record for touchdown passes with 58 in Hawaii's 41-24 victory over Arizona State in the Hawaii Bowl on Sunday night.
He finished the game with five touchdowns, one interception and 33-of-42 passing for a school-record 559 yards.
"The NFL or whoever is really going to have to present something to get me. If not, I'm just going to come back and enjoy myself," said Brennan, who finished sixth in Heisman Trophy voting.
He certainly seemed to enjoy himself at the Hawaii Bowl, capping a season in which he led the nation in TD passes, passing yards, total offense, passing efficiency, points responsible for and completion percentage.
Brennan threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Ryan Grice-Mullen on the Warriors' second series of the second half to break the previous mark of 54 set by Houston's David Klingler in 1990, also against the Sun Devils.
Brennan then hugged coach June Jones and waved No. 1 with both hands as teammates lifted the junior into the air.
"I have never had more fun in a season ever, mostly because of my teammates," Brennan said. "You see a lot of love for each other. It's sad to see the season over."
Jones said Brennan showed that he's the top passer in the nation, even above Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and Notre Dame's Brady Quinn.
"Colt is a money guy," said Jones, who became Hawaii's winningest coach with his 64th victory in eight seasons. "Colt is what I said he is: the best college quarterback in America, and he proved it tonight."
Hawaii (11-3) matched the school mark for most wins in a season, set in 1992 when the team went 11-2.
Perhaps overlooked by Brennan's performance was receiver Jason Rivers, who was voted the game's co-MVP.
Rivers tied a school record with 14 catches for two touchdowns and 308 yards, the most in a bowl game since 1937. NCAA records don't go back any further.
He combined with Grice-Mullen and Davone Bess to create a triple threat among the Warriors' sure-handed and fleet-footed receivers. Grice-Mullen scored twice with eight catches for 111 yards, and Bess made five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.
"This receiving corps is close. We really did something special this year," Rivers said. "We just really wanted to play hard and give it our all and leave it on the field."
In all, the Hawaii offense put together a season-high 680 total yards while holding Arizona State (7-6) to 391 yards. Hawaii trailed 10-3 at the half, but 21 points of unanswered offense in the third quarter put the Warriors ahead.
At one point this season, Hawaii won nine games in a row before falling to Oregon State. The team's other two losses came against Alabama and Boise State.
Regardless of whether Brennan returns next year, Hawaii will lose several key seniors.
They include running back Nate Ilaoa, who ran for 97 yards in 18 attempts Sunday; wide receivers Ian Sample and Ross Dickerson; offensive linemen Samson Satele, Tala Esera and Dane Uperesa; defensive linemen Ikaika Alama-Francis and Melila Purcell; and safety Leonard Peters.
"The worst thing about college football is that we're going to lose a couple of players," defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville said. "Now you got to start over."

Hi caseman To be honest, this isn't very suited to our board, so I'm going to close this thread. I would have moved it to the Sports board, but I saw that the mod there asked you to post this in the Sports board news thread (which is here) - that looks like the best place for it.
