Hawai‘i 63, Northern Colorado 6 Sept. 1, 2007 Ranked No. 23 in the preseason Associated Press top 25 poll, the University of Hawai‘i football team cruised to a 63-6 victory over the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-AA) Northern Colorado Bears at Aloha Stadium to open up the 2007 season. The win pushed the Warriors three spots up in the AP poll to No. 20. Despite a weekend that saw underdog teams like Appalachian State defeat then-No. 5 Michigan in a 34-32 upset, UH silenced any recurring thoughts as they took an early 28-0 lead with 4:24 left in the first quarter.
For the second time this season, University of Hawai‘i junior wide receiver Davone Bess is a football All-American, as he was named to the 2007 Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America team Thursday night. The team was announced during the live broadcast of the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show.
The University of Hawai‘i's Heisman candidate, senior Colt Brennan, finished third in this year's Heisman voting, bettering his sixth-place finish last year. The Heisman Trophy was awarded to Florida sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow Saturday in New York City. Brennan was one of four finalists to make the trip and was the school's first ever to do so.
