WAC Player of the Week Awards
Congratulations to Colt Brennan and Dan "Clutch" Kelly.
University of Hawai'i quarterback Colt Brennan and placekicker Dan Kelly were named this week's Western Athletic Conference Players of the Week following the Warriors' 45-44 come-from-behind overtime victory over Louisiana Tech on Saturday.Stephen Tsai gets some reaction from Kelly:
In addition, Brennan was named the Rivals.com WAC Player of the Week award.
"I'm honored, but I'm still kind of embarrassed by my performance. Look at my stats. I was 33 percent on field goals. That's not where I want to be ever."Also from that post, reaction from Colt, LaTech coach Derek Dooley talks about the haka penalty, and more.
But teammates and coaches praised Kelly for hitting the pressure-filled field goal.
"I'm honored to be given that award," Kelly said. "It's something to hang on the wall and forget about now."

I'll be honest, when we didn't get the first down and Kelly was trotting out there for the attempt, I just figured we lost.
I mean, the attempt before that when he tried to kick it out of the field of play...horizontally, didn't inspire confidence.

Tom-
Another key play for Kelly was how he tackled the defender running back his blocked field goal at the end of the first half. Miss that tackle and they add on another 7 pts that would have been too steep a hole to climb out of. That was clutch as well.
