Found some full games from the 2007 season on my old hard drive. This was the 1st game of the magical 12-0 season in 2007. Enjoy!

***
Colt Brennan passed for six touchdowns in the first half as 23rd-ranked Hawaii routed Northern Colorado 63-6 last night in the season opener for both teams.

UH won for the 11th time in its last 12 games going back to last season, when Hawaii went 11-3 to tie the school record for wins.
The Division I-AA Bears went 1-10 last season and were not the best test, but UH executed well enough to secure the win.

Brennan completed 34 of 40 passes for 416 yards (no interceptions). The first-string defense also dominated, allowing just 46 yards on 25 first-half plays for UNC. Linebacker Brad Kalilimoku, subbing for injured starter Blaze Soares, was in on a team-high nine tackles in the first half alone.

The Warriors led 42-0 after a first half in which Brennan completed two touchdown passes to Davone Bess and one each to Kealoha Pilares, C.J. Hawthorne, Jason Rivers and Ryan Grice-Mullins.

Brennan, who broke the NCAA single-season TD passing record last year with 58, tied former high school teammate Matt Leinart of USC for sixth place on the career scoring passing list with 99. Brennan also tied or set five school records. He and most of the other starters didn't play after the first half.
UH's first score of the season came on the opening drive, as Hawaii went 80 yards on eight plays, with Brennan completing six of seven passes, including the TD on a 15-yarder to Pilares, a freshman running back from Damien.

Mike Washington returned a punt 80 yards for a TD on the first series of the second half, and UH led 49-0.
