Elusive with a quick, side-arm release, Colt Brennan etched his name in the UH record book with single-season records for most yards passing per game (358.4), best attempts-to-touchdowns ratio (14.7) and best efficiency rating. In all he set or tied 11 school records. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior, whom coach June Jones says has an NFL future, led the nation in total offense (4,455 yards) and touchdowns thrown (35).


What kind of season are you expecting from yourself, the team, and why do you feel that way? Also, how does it feel to be the man in the spotlight on and off the field?


"I'm actually expecting some great things for us this year. Last year we went through a lot of rough games and we had a lot of close calls, and I think that we did a great job of battling with teams but we never got the victory. This year I expect us to go out there and win a lot of football games. Offensively and defensively we are steps ahead on a much different level than compared to last year. Our offense is doing some great things. A lot of talent on defense and I know they're really fired up this year. Expecting some great things and expecting definitely to get to the top of the WAC and definitely to get into a big bowl game."

(On being in the spotlight)

"It's cool. It's one of those things where people expect you to have a life that's, like, awesome and it's definitely not like that at all. There's obviously some perks, there's obviously some disadvantages as well. Truthfully it's a great experience here in Hawai'i. People out here are great. Big supporters of the football team. And because the team kind of profiles the quarterback, people are always quick to give a lot of love and respect when I see them out in the community and stuff. It's a great experience."
