Advertiser Staff
University of Hawai'i quarterback Tim Chang was selected as the Western Athletic Conference Preseason Offensive Player of the Year in polling of the league's sportscasters and writers today."It's a great honor, but we still have to play some games," Chang said this morning.
Chang is the first Hawai'i football player in more than a decade to be named as offensive player of the year.
Hawai'i was predicted to finish third in the WAC this season.
Two-time defending champion Boise State was tapped No. 1 followed by Fresno State.
Chang, a Saint Louis School graduate, has passed for 12,814 yards in his 40-game UH career. He is on track to break former Brigham Young's quarterback Ty Detmer's NCAA record of 15,031 yards.
