There's just one thing to say after last night.
Happy New Year, Hawaii Warriors!
UH capped a regular season full of miracles with yet another one, coming back from a 21-point deficit to beat Washington 35-28 with game-winning and saving plays in the final 44 seconds. Hawaii earned itself a spot in a Jan. 1 bowl game, most likely the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
The 11th-ranked Warriors are 12-0 and set a school record for wins.
The general consensus is Hawaii is headed to the Sugar Bowl. A source said the opponent will be Georgia, but others speculate that the opponent will be SEC champion Louisiana State.
Either way, the Warriors finished the regular season as the nation's only unbeaten major college football team.
"We just wanted a win," said UH quarterback Colt Brennan, who may have played his way into an invitation to next week's Heisman Trophy presentation with five touchdown passes, including a 5-yarder with 44 seconds left to give UH its only lead.
Brennan completed 42 of 50 passes for 442 yards and no interceptions.
Washington scrambled back after the decisive TD and got to the UH 4, but Ryan Mouton -- normally a cornerback, but playing safety -- intercepted Jake Locker's pass in the end zone with 3 seconds left. It set off the second wild on-field celebration in as many weeks at Aloha Stadium, as many of the 49,566 fans streamed onto the field.
"We just didn't make one more play," Washington coach Tyrone Willingham said.
The Huskies ended their season 4-9 despite 145 yards rushing by Louis Rankin.
Washington's 403 total yards was more than matched by Hawaii's 538, and the Warriors once again came up with the big plays on offense and defense when they were most needed.
"It's the same quote we've been saying all year," said Jason Rivers, who tied his career high with four touchdown catches. "We believe, we believe.
"For us that didn't matter. First thing that came to mind when it was 21-0 was we've been in this position before. We've been behind in bad weather, we've had to overcome all kinds of adversity."
Rivers caught 14 passes for 167 yards.
UH previously came back from second-half deficits at Louisiana Tech, San Jose State and Nevada and last week at home against Boise State. This was the fourth win that came down to the final minute or overtime.
"What a win! It hasn't soaked in yet," Warriors coach June Jones said. "(The team) was committed to getting a win tonight. They played hard and I can't be more proud of them. It's unbelievable. The (regular season) could not have ended better. I think the turning point in the game was the third TD (to Jason Rivers that was reversed by instant replay). That's when I knew we were going to win."
Jones said Brennan vetoed his call on the final touchdown.
"I had called a run play, but Colt said that he knew (UW) would be in man and wanted to call a "go" route, so we went with it."
The touchdown capped a 76-yard drive that started with 4:15 left.
"Coach Jones trusted me on that last call. I told Coach 'we got 'em,' so I changed it to a pass play because I knew they were going to be in man," Brennan said. "I've got the most talented receiving corps in the nation. People can't play us man-to-man."
Running back Daniel Libre was also a force for Hawaii, sustaining drives with 82 yards on 10 rushes and 61 yards on six catches.
Mouton's clutch play was all the more notable because he normally plays cornerback, and he was paired with backup safety Erik Robinson because of injuries to starters Desmond Thomas and Jake Patek.
"We just communicated with each other all across the field," Mouton said. "As a whole defense we communicated and adjusted."
Brennan hit Rivers for a 40-yard touchdown pass with 8:01 left to tie the game at 28-all. It was the combo's fourth scoring hook-up of the game.
On the next series, Locker returned to the game after being knocked out of it on a hit by linebacker Blaze Soares in the third quarter. He apparently completed a third-down pass to Quintin Daniels for a first down, but was ruled beyond the line of scrimmage, and UW punted.
UH took over on its own 24, and the winning drive went like this:
Brennan immediately hit Grice-Mullins for a 27-yard gain, and then Bess for 13 more to the Huskies 36.
A third consecutive completion went to Rivers for 9 yards to the 27.
Brennan then scrambled and found Rivers again, for 10 yards to the UW 17.
It was to Rivers again for 6, and two carries by Libre got the ball to the 5 and set up the game-winner to Grice-Mullins, who finished with 10 receptions for 121 yards.
Early on, it didn't seem like any of that would matter, as 14-point underdog Washington took advantage of Hawaii mistakes and built a 21-0 lead.
"We came out flat, we came out real flat," Soares said. "I think we came out too complacent. Then we all talked to each other and asked who wanted it more."

Rest in paradise Colt Brennan. I was a sophomore at UH when I was watching this game. Best comeback game of all time.
Former University of Hawaii quarterback and 2007 Heisman Trophy finalist Colt Brennan has died, according to his father Terry Brennan.
Colt Brennan, 37 was a patient at a rehabilitation facility when he was found unconscious a few days ago. He died on Monday at Hoag Hospital in Newport, Calif.
“He was doing so well, the spark was back in his eyes, and he was healthy and doing great, and it happened,” Terry Brennan said.
The elder Brennan said his son was in the fifth month of a six-month treatment program. Terry Brennan indicated his son left the facility and suggested a drug his son then ingested contributed to his death.
R.I.P to Colt Brennan, was one of my idols as a kid. He made watching Hawaii fun.
I was in the Army from 2006-2010 & was stationed in Hawaii. They are hard core football fans. They love their Warriors. I experienced the Colt Brennan era & it was amazing. Been a UH fan since!

These are timeless memories for the entire state of Hawaii. Thanks braddah neil
We were at a company Christmas party in Kapolei. Some Chinese restaurant. My boss was listening to the game with earphones as she ate her dinner. The last touchdown she screamed and raised her arms in victory completely forgetting that she was holding a fork full of food. Noodles went everywhere. Most hilarious thing I'd ever seen. I'm a UW alumni and this was the one time I was happy that the Huskies were beat. RIP CB.
Ho Ho Chinese Restaurant?
@@youarepredictable Yes! Thats the one.
Man no matter how everything has turned out to be for Colt he was amazing. I miss him play.

@@frankcanete3171 Rest in peace Colt... thanks man
Spectrum really should be playing all these old games on repeat. I have a theory that lack of UH games for free on TV has hurt recruiting local kids as they grow up watching other teams unless they pay per view. Thank you for uploading these.
I was at this game. My father in law had season tickets since the old downtown stadium days and the whole extended family all went to most home games for years for many years until 2013 or so. He had 4 seats down near the 50 yard line and 4 in the loge. He always gave us the loge seats, which we loved because it was always in the shade and out of the rain and it was right next to the press box. We were the only people in that section who were just regular people with regular jobs and not presidents of their own companies or people like that. The athletic directors of UH and the visiting school always sat 3 rows behind us. Carol Kai's seats were 10 feet away. This game was memorable because not only was the visiting AD behind us, but the president of Washington U and family/friends were there. They talked smack the entire time and I really enjoyed giving them a look once we tied it up then went on to win. I remember saying to my father in law, whose been an avid UH football/sports supporter from the beginning, "Really savor this, because I think we just witnessed the greatest season of UH football you'll ever see".
By this point , my father in law had been a season ticket holder for 40 years I think. We eventually all stopped going to the games as the kids went from toddlers to grade school and had sports and all sorts of other stuff on the weekends and my father in law was getting to be about 80 and it was just getting to be a burden to load up the cars and cookout/get food every Saturday. The regulars in the loge who'd seen us every year, saw us go from 1 baby to 2 toddlers and watched them grow into adolescents. After we all stopped going, we'd get the game on the PPV and watch it at the gathering house and people could come and go as needed on Saturdays as time permitted. Father in law is still going strong at 86 and still travels and watches all the games. Miss those days.

@@frankcanete3171 I read that too...that's what brought me to this video. He's been having trouble for the last 15 years.

I was at this game! Man what a game. The crowd and the cheers still give me chills! Blessed to have witnessed the colt brennan era at UH.
I was there too up in section AA with my family, man this was a core memory. UH will always be my college football team :)
Finally, it's been along time since I've seen these. Thanks for letting me relive the glory days 🤙
Very bitter-sweet watching the 2007 UH football season..... Not only has Colt Brennan recently passed, but June Jones, who put UH on the football map, moved on after the 2007 season, reportedly due to the incredible stupidity of UH administration refusing to upgrade the primitive football facilities...
I work at Aloha Stadium as a parking attendant. 2007 was my first year and what a year it was. Colt Brennan and the Hawaii Warriors had an amazing season and I will never forget it. Thanks for the memories Colt Brennan. RIP.
Agreed
Thank you Colt for the memories, priceless memories 🤙🏼 RIP #15
Man that stadium was packed and rocking. So different now.
Most of those guys were bandwagons not real Hawaii fans
@@brandon515 shows that there are lack of authentic fans.
Colt Brennan would have thrived in todays NFL. Rip #15
Remember it just like yesterday. Good ol glory days in Hawaii when this team bought back joy in the islands.💯💯 Good fkn times indeed. Aloha & GO WARRIORS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
So many good memories from this season. Thanks for posting!
RIP Colt, you and this team gave Hawaii an unforgettable few years while you were here!
He ended up 42/50. To put it into perspective that would be 84/100 or 84% he completed a pass. Every 10 passes, he completed 8 of them. I don't think I've ever seen any QB with that kind of precision, and his career average was 70+%.
@2:55:50 commentator definitely doesn’t know about Hawaii’s culture. This win was for the entire state, not just for the football team! Thanks for all the memories Colt. Risked millions for himself so the state could make millions RIP! 🙏🏼
Their second guessing doesn't say much for their knowledge of the game when they say "this is the offense we came to see" DUH, if the defense is blitzing, you need to stop the blitz with screens, draws, shovel passes. It took them all the way till Desmond Howard told them that it was to slow down the blitz.
Of course he doesn't know about the culture, he's never lived here. Just like you don't know the culture of a small village in the Amazon jungle because you've never lived there. Donkey.
The pinnacle of Rainbow Warrior Football. June took a team with mediocre facilities and non existent nutritiom program, and along with his coaches developed a average filled team into a powerhouse that was as good a program pound for pound as anyone. Miss those days. IMUA!
Thank you for posting.... great memories.
Thank you for this upload once again. 15 years!
I was at this game in the nose bleed section... this was the last time the stadium was sold out. When we were coming back with touchdowns I really though the stadium was gonna fall apart.. good times

Willingham should have been fired after this game. Would have saved us the embarrassment of going 0-12 the next season. Glad those days are behind us.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I was there.
Bro!!! You did it!! Thanks man!!!
No problem man!
RIP Colt I remember watching Hawaii this time back on mainland was so fun exciting and I used them on video games ncaa ps2. Definitely one of the greatest college qbs to ever do it.

This was the last (and final) sellout at Aloha. Good times!
Spectrum should be showing these types of classics as well. We'll obviously not the ESPN telecast. But the Purdue game, ya know all those classics from K5. not just last seasons games.
This season made the stadium age 10 years 😂 RIP Colt 🙏🏼
Hawaii was rolling in 2007.
Thank you Colt. Rest in peace 🙏
The Holy Grail for UH Rainbow Warrior football. Right ons!!!
Rastafarian Targaryen 1992 and 99 were also fantastic seasons. That 1999 team was so much fun.
Rest in aloha colt
Man the lineups was a cool feature
Epic and legendary right here!
the all time littiest hawaii as ever been
If Hawaii could be an NFL filter school for somoa and the pacific islands.... it's a national championship every year
What a ride.
Look at that crowd! Good times! RIP Colt Brennan.
This version is great quality, and the copy I had ends as soon as they make the INT in the endzone
Rest in Aloha Colt
Great play call on 1st and Goal by Washington lmao. Even better non heads up play by Locker to throw the ball out of the end zone when the run was clearly stuffed so you could save the time out. That play alone told you Locker would never be a decent NFL QB.
I wen stay remembah dis game cuz I wen go waimalu zippys aftah with my friend Jojo. He wen ordah one zip min and side ordah fries and I wen ordah chili frank wit too scoop rice. Da buggah was extra Ono dat nite cuz the Bows wen win this game....oh broke do mouth that chili frank den I wen ordah one chili and rice too cuz I was still hungry and I ate jojo's leftovah fries
Re-watching this for Umpteenth time!-lol...Announcer at ending 1st half pronounced Kalilimoku...Kailimoka!...Negatory!.... Kah-lee-lee-moh-koo! Was watching this game High-Up in Yellow nose-bleed section, N(tunnel)-side end zone! Ever hear the song/expression..."If the House is Rockin'...Don't bother Knockin'?!"...Well, that house that Hawaii football built, Was Definitely Rockin' & Jones, Brennan & Co. were Definitely Knockin' on NCAA BCS doors!
...Get W/de Program, UHM Administration & State Lawmakers! IF you care as much about UH athletics as you profess, & if you want to see these kinds of crowds, EVER Again...Bite the Bullet, Make the Sacrifice & Commit to releasing the necessary $$$$M to make this Dream a Reality!....Imua, UH Athletics...Imua, Koa Anuenue! RIP. Coach Greg McMackin...RIP. Colt Brennan!
This was such a fun season until they got splattered like a bug on a windshield in the Sugar Bowl by Georgia.
I wonder why Hawaii went white jerseys for this game...
2:12:35 Did they just play Spongebob music?
Yes
Anyone else catch da aunty in green on the left at 2:32:42 mistakingly flip da bird with her left hand?
More like Louis "over Rankined" XD
Boy, did Hawaii luck out in this game or what?
Ahhhhh the good ol days when UH used to win and the head Coach June Jones got a girl on the volleyball team pregnant named Lili Kahumoku and then had to leave the state and hide.
