<h3>Brennan goes for passing mark in showdown against Boise State</h3>

No. 17 Boise St (10-1) at No. 14 Hawaii (10-0) 9:05 pm EST

HONOLULU (Ticker) -- If Colt Brennan is going to make history,he will have to overcome recent history.


In a showdown that will determine the Western AthleticConference champion, Brennan leads 14th-ranked Hawaii intoFriday night's matchup against No. 17 Boise State.

Brennan enters what could be his final home game with 121 careertouchdown passes, tying Ty Detmer's NCAA record.


While he almost certainly will break's Detmer's mark, Brennanwould love to help the Warriors (10-0, 7-0 WAC) unseat thefive-time conference champions.


The Broncos (10-1, 7-0) have won the conference each seasonsince joining in 2002. Even more impressive is their 46-1record within the conference.


Brennan should be 100 percent for this contest. Recovering froma concussion, the senior attempted just two passes in lastweek's 28-26 win at Nevada.


Tyler Graunke started in place of Brennan and threw for 358yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Warriors escaped Nevada'supset bid on Dan Kelly's 45-yard field goal with 11 secondsremaining.


But Brennan is the leader of Hawaii's offense, which leads theBowl Championship Subdivision in scoring at 48 points per game.Last week marked the first time this season that the Warriorsfailed to reach at least 30 points.


A win here will give the Warriors the WAC title while alsogiving them a legitimate shot at playing in a BCS bowl.Currently 15th in the Bowl Championship Series Ratings, theRainbows need to be 12th in order to secure a BCS berth.

Hawaii and Kansas are the nation's lone remaining unbeatenteams.


Staying unbeaten should be a challenge for the Warriors, who arerunning into a red-hot team. The Broncos have reeled off ninestraight wins, with all but one of those victories coming bydouble digits.


Boise State, which is third in scoring (44.2 ppg), has won itslast three games by an average of 32.8 points.


Leading the way for the Broncos has been Taylor Tharp, who hasthrown for 2,839 yards and 27 touchdowns this season.

To keep Hawaii's aerial attack grounded, the Broncos could turn<div class="pre">to the combination of running backs Ian Johnson (944 yards)</div>and Jeremy Avery (563 yards).


Last year, Johnson rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns to leadthe Broncos to a 41-34 victory over the Warriors.
