Utah State (0-5, 0-1 WAC) played its final non-conference gameof the season last Saturday and came up short vs. intrastate foeUtah, 34-18.


Leon Jackson III threw for 139 yards and a touchdown and ran for60 yards and a score for the Aggies, who lost their 10thstraight to the Utes.

HONOLULU (Ticker) -- Tyler Graunke stepped right it and didnot miss a beat.


Graunke threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns in place ofinjured starter Colt Brennan as No. 16 Hawaii rolled to a 52-37win over Utah State in a Western Athletic Conference matchup onSaturday.


A Heisman Trophy candidate, Brennan left in the second half withan unknown injury. The senior signal-caller finished 19-of-25for 219 yards with his lone TD pass coming at 5:42 in the secondquarter - a 22-yard score to Davone Bess for a 24-13 edge.

Brennan has now thrown a touchdown in 31 consecutive games topull within four of Ty Detmer's NCAA all-time mark. He is alsoa touchdown shy from tying Detmer's other record of 122 TDs inthree seasons.


However, the night belonged to his backup.


Graunke's one-yard scamper with just five seconds left beforethe break helped Hawaii (6-0, 3-0 WAC) create an impressive31-13 cushion.


In the third quarter, Graunke showcased his arm, connecting withfour different receivers for scores, highlighted by his 77-yardpass to Kevin Robinson at the 6:24 mark.


Hawaii's receiving trio of Jason Rivers, C.J. Hawthorne and RyanGrice-Mullen all reached the 100-yard plateau as the Warriorsare off to their best start since 1981.


Leon Jackson completed 14-of-21 for 161 yards and a score andDerrvin Speight carried 20 times for 71 yards for the Aggies(0-6, 0-2), who has lost for the 12th straight time - secondlongest in the nation.
