In Saturday's 34-23 victory over Louisiana Tech, Chang broke former Brigham Young quarterback Ty Detmer's record of 15,031 career passing yards. Chang, who threw for 285 yards and four touchdowns, now has 15,303 passing yards.

"I hope they have an extra one for me," Chang said of donating his jersey. "I'm going to still need it. I have to play some more games."

UH equipment coordinator Al Ginoza said UH will donate Chang's green jersey used for home games. The Warriors also wear black jerseys when they play at Aloha Stadium.

"It'll be the nicest jersey in the Hall of Fame," UH coach June Jones said.

Dan Morrison, who coaches the quarterbacks, said: "It's a great honor for both Tim and the university. Those are the kinds of things that stand in perpetuity. Kids, 25 years from now, will look at that jersey and see 'Hawai'i' on it. It's good for everybody involved."

Chang said: "It's an honor. Football is such a big team game, I wish all of our jerseys could go in there. We shouldn't leave anybody out. I would want everybody's jersey in there. Everybody contributed to the success — from the guys in the past to the guys now, to the trainers, to the coaches, even to my family."

Yesterday, Chang also was named the Western Athletic Conference's Offensive Player of the Week.

"It's a great honor to the team," Chang said. "It's a big award but, more importantly, we won the game."

Morrison said Chang was deserving of the weekly award, and not just because he broke the record with a scoring pass to Jason Rivers in the first quarter.

"He played well in that game," Morrison said.

Although Chang benefits from playing in a pass-oriented, four-wide offense, Morrison said, Chang faces defenses prepared to defend passes.

"There's one aspect to throwing all of the time and there's another aspect when everybody knows it. He faces every blitz dog, zone dog, stunt. Those are the kinds of things you have to take into account. He goes through things a lot of other quarterbacks don't, in regards to what he faces."

Jones said the challenges Chang faces now will prepare him for a professional career.

"He will have a tremendous advantage on making the adjustment to the National Football League because he's seen everything," Jones said. "Some quarterbacks ... see three zone blitzes in a ballgame. He's seen every zone blitz six times in one game. So when you get into the other offense (in the NFL), even though there will be new routes and all of that kind of stuff, he will know what's happening way more than any quarterback who hadn't been in a pass system."

Jones said in UH's offense, Chang and the receivers run plays based on the defensive alignment. The improvisation, Jones said, can lead to indecision and inaccuracy. In the NFL, most offenses use set plays. "That's why he'll excel in another system, I think," Jones said.
