CB on the Watch, Nevada Notes, Case for UH

The Walter Camp Football Foundation has named Colt Brennan to their watch list for their 2007 Player of the Year Award.

The Walter Camp Football Foundation has announced 15 "Players to Watch" for its 2007 Player of the Year award and University of Hawai'i quarterback Colt Brennan is on the list for the second straight year. The Walter Camp Award is the fourth-oldest individual college football award in the nation.

"It's been quite a college football season so far and the final three weekends are shaping up to be very exciting," said WCFF President John Barbarotta. "We look forward to watching these players distinguish themselves as the possible recipient of our prestigious Player of the Year honor."

A list of the five finalists for the award will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 27.

Congrats to Colt!

The UH Athletics Department also released game notes and a press release for this Friday's game at Reno.

And Jared Reback of the Bleacher Report makes a case for the Warriors in the national title game, which won't happen this year, but he nevertheless writes a lot of good things about UH.

Let's face it: There is not a powerhouse in college football this season. There are a lot of good teams, and maybe a great team or two.

Who is to say that Hawaii is not one of them?

Hawaii certainly has not played the schedules of some of these teams, but they haven't lost either. They have had close calls, as have the BCS conference teams, but each time they have risen to—and beat—the challenge.

Looking beyond just record and schedule, there are other reasons why Hawaii's season merits inclusion in the title game.

Everyone knows that road games in hostile environments are difficult for any team to overcome. Hawaii must deal with all that adversity after flying halfway across the Pacific Ocean.

The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins showed what flying east for eight hours can do to a team on the football field. This is what Hawaii is up against every time they travel.
