Hawaii tops Boise State 39-27
Unbeaten. Record-breaking. Western Athletic Conference champion. Maybe BCS bound. All apply to Colt Brennan and Hawaii.
The Warriors' prolific passer threw for 5 touchdowns to break the major college career record as host No. 14 Hawaii (11-0, 8-0) beat No. 17 Boise State (10-2, 7-1) to win its first outright WAC title.
Brennan finished 40 of 53 for 495 yards for the Warriors, who set a school record with 12 straight wins and denied the Broncos a sixth straight conference championship.
The WAC heavyweights traded scores and the lead until Brennan erupted for 3 TD tosses in the third quarter to give the Warriors their largest lead, 39-27, heading into the final quarter.
The quick-striking Warriors, who have won 21 of its last 22 games and lead the nation in scoring, ran out the clock with their rare running game to seal the win as the crowd chanted, "BCS! BCS!"
With the final seconds ticking off the clock, players and thousands of fans spilled onto the field and celebrated the Warriors' biggest win in school history.
