Brennan's five-yard pass to Davone Bess in the second quarterhelped the 24-year-old signal-caller tied Ty Detmer on theNCAA's all-time list with 121 TD passes.


However, Brennan was unable to stick around to break the recordafter taking a hit from linebacker Marcus Riley on a third-downscramble in the fourth. He was down on the field motionless forseveral minutes before being helped to the sideline.

"(Colt) is fine," Warriors coach June Jones said. "He'll beready for the next game. I just talked to Colt and he said he isready to play right now."


"I saw the hit on Colt, I knew it wasn't good," Hawaii's RyanGrice-Mullen said. "Not just talking about football, even if a<div class="pre">family member went down, you never wish that on anyone both</div>sides of the ball. Fresno showed class, especially theirtrainers, who were on the scene quickly."


Brennan went 28-of-39 for 396 yards and two TDs, including animpressive 67-yard strike to Jason Rivers to open the scoringwith 13:44 left in the opening quarter. He also ran for athree-yard score at 9:46 of the period to give the Warriors(9-0, 6-0 WAC) a 21-0 cushion.


Leon Wright-Jackson ran for 65 yards and a score andGrice-Mullen caught nine passes for 128 yards for Hawaii, whichregistered 549 total yards of offense.


"We rushed the ball pretty well," Jones said. "Fresno didn't doanything that we didn't know they were going to do. Overall,we played good enough to win the game."


Bulldogs quarterback Tom Brandstater also was stellar in thisone, completing 15-of-26 attempts for 209 yards and threetouchdowns.


"We had three dropped balls, a fumble and a late hit," Fresnocoach Pat Hill said. "We just didn't get it done, but our guysare fighters. Most teams would have folded. We grew some. Ijust wish we could have started faster. It was just one of<div class="pre">those games. Bottom line we came out one touchdown short."</div>

Brandstater's second fourth-quarter TD toss to Marlon Moore drewFresno State within 37-30 with 1:34 remaining.
