In addition to Brennan, the other Warriors named to the All-WAC first team are: running back Nate Ilaoa, left slotback Davone Bess, left tackle Tala Esera, center Samson Satele, left defensive end Melila Purcell III, right defensive end Ikaika Alama-Francis, free safety Leonard Peters and kick returner Ross Dickerson.

Left wideout Jason Rivers, right tackle Dane Uperesa, nose tackle Michael Lafaele and inside linebacker Adam Leonard were named to the second team.

"That's awesome about coach Jones," Brennan said. "He did a great job. I'm so happy for him."

Brennan, who leads the nation in total offense and touchdown passes, called his award "a great honor. It's huge. I remember during the summer when they said I was going to be the preseason Player of the Year. I said then it only matters what happens at the end of the year. I'm glad (the voters) thought I did a good job.

"But again, this isn't about me. It's about our offense. We wanted to make a statement that we weren't one of the best offenses in the nation. We wanted to win the overall title. That's why this is a good honor for the receivers, the o-line and Nate. They deserve as much credit."

Ilaoa, who is Brennan's roommate on the road, praised Brennan and the rest of the offense.
