SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) -- For much of the game, ColtBrennan looked like anything but a Heisman Trophy candidate.

Brennan rallied Hawaii from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficitwith less than four minutes left in regulation to post a wild42-35 overtime victory over conference rival San Jose State onFriday.


Brennan, who was unable to finish his last start against UtahState due to an injured ankle, dealt with an opportunisticSpartan defense and sloppy field conditions all evening long.Both factors played a large role in the signal-caller'sfour-interception performance.


Following a nine-yard touchdown run from Spartans running backJames T. Callier that gave San Jose State a 35-21 lead with12:33 left in the fourth quarter, Brennan and the explosiveWarriors offense showed their mettle.


One drive after Brennan threw his fourth interception of thecontest, the senior signal-caller guided his team down the fieldon an eight-play, 97-yard drive that was capped off by receiverDavone Bess' bobbling one-handed TD grab as he slid out ofbounds to cut the lead to 35-28 with 3:54 remaining.

Needing a little bit of help from San Jose State (3-4, 2-1 WAC)to give the Warriors a chance to send the game into overtime,Hawaii (7-0, 4-0) benefited from the Spartans' first lost fumbleof the season when Callier fumbled on the second play of thenext series. The ball was recovered by linebacker Adam Leonardat the San Jose State 45.


From there, Brennan calmly directed the Warriors down the field,a drive which ended with his sixth rushing TD of the season ona two-yard option run to knot the game at 35-35 with 31 secondsleft in regulation.


The Warriors quarterback went 44-of-75 for 545 yards and fourtouchdowns for the game, setting a new career high for attemptsand completions in a single game while registering the fourth500-yard passing game of his career.


The Spartans were unable to get into field goal range in theremaining time, sending the contest into overtime.

After San Jose State won the coin flip and elected to playdefense first, Brennan hit receiver Jason Rivers from nine yardsout to give Hawaii a 42-35 advantage.


The Spartans' hopes were dashed quickly thereafter, when AdamTafralis was intercepted by Myron Newberry on the San JoseState's second play of the first overtime.


Tafralis completed 24-of-47 for 302 yards with 302 yards, twotouchdowns and three interceptions.


The comeback overshadowed what was a spectacular defensiveperformance through three quarters.


Trailing, 14-0, late in the first half, San Jose State battledback as punt returner Dwight Lowery fielded a punt from TimothyGrasso. Lowery worked his way from the middle of the field downthe left sideline and ran untouched 84 yards for the Spartans'first special-teams return TD of the season, cutting the lead inhalf at 14-7 with 1:21 remaining in the first half.

It did not take long before Lowery struck again.


On the first play of the second half, Brennan tried to hit hisreceiver on an out pattern to the left side of the field, butLowery took the ball right out of the hands of the receiver andran the other way 25 yards to knot the score at 14-14.

Hawaii, which extended its school record by winning a seventhstraight road game, has won its first seven games for the firsttime since 1981.

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) -- For much of the game, ColtBrennan looked like anything but a Heisman Trophy candidate.

Brennan rallied No. 16 Hawaii from a 14-point fourth-quarterdeficit with less than four minutes left in regulation to post awild 42-35 overtime victory over conference rival San JoseState on Friday.


Brennan, who was unable to finish his last start against UtahState due to an injured ankle, dealt with an opportunisticSpartan defense and sloppy field conditions all evening long.Both factors played a large role in the signal-caller'sfour-interception performance.


"He showed what he's made of," Hawaii coach June Jones said."He's a very competitive kid and I felt bad for him because theconditions were so terrible. Had he had better conditions, Idon't think it would have been a really close game."

"I've had a rough couple of weeks these past couple of weeks andjust haven't really been in my groove or in sync lately,"Brennan said. "But I knew that if I stepped up when I had toand made the plays when I was supposed to, that we would stillbe in this game and we could still win this game."

Following a nine-yard touchdown run from Spartans running backJames T. Callier that gave San Jose State a 35-21 lead with12:33 left in the fourth quarter, Brennan and the explosiveWarriors offense showed their mettle.


"We had a lot of character (tonight), when we went down 35-21and Colt throws a pick," Jones said. "I just grabbed everybodyand said 'look guys, if we come back and win this game it willdo more for us as a team and it will do more for you, ColtBrennan, than anything you can ever do in your life.' And hegot it together, put it together, and got us in the end zone andwe won."


One drive after Brennan threw his fourth interception of thecontest, the senior signal-caller guided his team down the fieldon an eight-play, 97-yard drive that was capped off by receiverDavone Bess' bobbling one-handed TD grab as he slid out ofbounds to cut the lead to 35-28 with 3:54 remaining.

Needing a little bit of help from San Jose State (3-4, 2-1 WAC)to give the Warriors a chance to send the game into overtime,Hawaii (7-0, 4-0) benefited from the Spartans' first lost fumbleof the season when Callier fumbled on the second play of thenext series. The ball was recovered by linebacker Adam Leonardat the San Jose State 45.


From there, Brennan calmly directed the Warriors down the field,a drive which ended with his sixth rushing TD of the season ona two-yard option run to knot the game at 35-35 with 31 secondsleft in regulation.

The Spartans were unable to get into field goal range in theremaining time, sending the contest into overtime.

After San Jose State won the coin flip and elected to playdefense first, Brennan hit receiver Jason Rivers from nine yardsout to give Hawaii a 42-35 advantage.


"This offense is very good no matter what and if you only giveus 25 yards to drive, we have a good shot at scoring," Brennansaid. "We knew we just had to get to overtime. I didn't haveconfidence in my reads and where I wanted to go with the ballearly on. When the rain died off, it really allowed us to throwthe ball a lot better at the end of the third and fourthquarter."


The Spartans' hopes were dashed quickly thereafter, when AdamTafralis was intercepted by Myron Newberry on the San JoseState's second play of the first overtime.


Tafralis completed 24-of-47 for 302 yards with 302 yards, twotouchdowns and three interceptions.


The comeback overshadowed what was a spectacular defensiveperformance through three quarters.


Trailing, 14-0, late in the first half, San Jose State battledback as punt returner Dwight Lowery fielded a punt from TimothyGrasso. Lowery worked his way from the middle of the field downthe left sideline and ran untouched 84 yards for the Spartans'first special-teams return TD of the season, cutting the lead inhalf at 14-7 with 1:21 remaining in the first half.

It did not take long before Lowery struck again.


On the first play of the second half, Brennan tried to hit hisreceiver on an out pattern to the left side of the field, butLowery took the ball right out of the hands of the receiver andran the other way 25 yards to knot the score at 14-14.

"He's a real playmaker and he has been since he's been here,"Spartans coach Dick Tomey said. "His two plays got us back inthe game when we really weren't doing anything offensively. Hegot us in the game and he got our team ignited and he's beendoing that since he got here. There were a lot of guys whoplayed really well."


"Definitely, Dwight single-handedly brought us back in thegame," Tafralis said. "I wasn't doing anything on offense (inthe first half). None of us were. There was not a whole lotgoing on. He brought us into it."


Hawaii, which extended its school record by winning a seventhstraight road game, has won its first seven games for the firsttime since 1981.
