Hawaii enters this season with very high expectations after being ranked in the preseason top 25 for the first time in school history. The team's offense was certainly up to the task as they scored four times in the first eleven minutes to take a commanding 28-0 lead heading into the second quarter.

Senior quarterback Colt Brennan threw for 416 yards and six touchdowns in the first half to lead the high-powered Warriors past the Bears of Northern Colorado.

Wide receiver Ryan Grice-Mullen caught nine first half passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns and Davone Bess followed up with two touchdowns of his own to give the Warriors a 42-0 lead heading into halftime.

Last season, Brennan excelled under June Jones's offense as he threw for 5,549 yards and an unheralded 58 touchdowns in a mere 14 games. At the pace he's on in 2007 it looks like he will surpass the numbers he posted a year ago and position himself very well heading into the NFL draft.
