Former Hawaii Warrior quarterback Colt Brennan threw two touchdowns as the Washington Redskins defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 30-16, to kick off the NFL pre-season in the annual Hall of Fame game played in Canton, Ohio.
Colt's play will definitely help to make the Redskins roster so long he continues to show positive improvement. It was great debut performance for the sixth-round rookie who completed 9-of-10 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
Quoted from Redskins.com:
...the Redskins turned to Brennan. Seeing his first NFL action, Brennan started the second half at quarterback and was impressive guiding the offense downfield n his first drive. He converted a key 3rd-and-7 play by throwing a 34-yard pass to Billy McMullen.
Brennan capped the drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Mann in the left corner of the end zone. Mann made a diving grab to pull in the pass one step ahead of a defender.
In the fourth quarter, Brennan led a 15-play, 88-yard drive that consumed more than seven minutes of game clock and resulted in another touchdown.
On a 3rd-and-4 at the Colts' 5-yard line, Brennan rolled right and waited for a receiver to get open. He saw Mason at the goal line and threw a quick pass. Mason grabbed it and broke a tackle, turning into the end zone for the score.
Overall, Brennan completed 9-of-10 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
