Hawaii already has tied a school record for wins, earned its highest national ranking ever and won its first outright WAC title. The 11th-ranked Warriors, however, feel there's a whole lot left to accomplish.
Led by Heisman Trophy hopeful Colt Brennan, Hawaii looks to remain the only undefeated team in the Football Bowl Subdivision as its bid for the first BCS bowl invitation in school history continues Saturday in its regular-season finale against Washington at Aloha Stadium.
The Warriors (11-0) clinched sole possession of the WAC championship last Friday with a 39-27 victory over Boise State, tying a school record with their 11th win - a mark set in 1992 and matched last season.
This year's team, however, is in position to do much more than the previous 11-win Hawaii clubs. The Warriors are 12th in the BCS standings, and if they finish in the top 12 after Saturday's finale, they'll get an automatic bid to a BCS bowl game for the first time.
After clinching their first conference title since they were WAC co-champs with TCU and Fresno State in 1999, the Warriors say they're ready to take the next step.
"It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders and now there's all this energy and new life," Brennan said after beating Boise State.
