Quotes about Colt

About Colt, Idaho LB David Vobora said:
"He's an awesome player. I've been in a game that I literally felt, that no matter what we called, Colt Brennan was going to complete a pass. There was literally times I'd call this or call that, a check out of this, and just pray: 'Can we at least get someone within 5 feet of him?' He's impressive. Stopping him is impossible. Slowing him down will be a task." (HA)


About Colt (UH's leading returning rusher) and his mobility, Fresno St DE Tyler Cutts said:
"From a defensive line perspective, it's tough, because he's a double threat. He can run and he can throw. He's quick. He's deceptively elusive. He changes up your pass rush. You're a little more hesitant because you don't want to lose contain. He's much harder to defend than a guy who's a pocket passer." (HA)


Idaho CB Stanley Franks talked about playing against Colt when they were in junior-college:
"I was a receiver at the time, so I got to stand on the sideline and really study him. He's a very smart quarterback. You can't blitz him. He'll run right by you. And he has that composure. He's so cool back there you wouldn't even know he's playing a game. He never gets too high or too low out there." (HA)


About how he had been told before that Colt had a low-throwing motion, Clutts said:
"He must have changed it. The last time we played Hawai'i, he wasn't throwing low. You still have to get your hands up when you rush him. Even if you don't knock it down, it disrupts the vision of the quarterback and the receivers have trouble seeing the pass come out. But that's not easy against him." (HA)


Asked if Colt's accuracy was god-given or a result of coaching, JJ said:
"It's God-given. You can improve a quarterback's technique, his fundamentals. But when you get under pressure you go back to what comes naturally and you either hit the guy or you don't. Jeff George, Dan Marino and Colt are the only guys I've seen sometimes release the ball and their right foot is off the ground." (HSB)


Asked about the significance of throwing the ball with the right foot off the ground, JJ said:
"I don't know what it means, but I'm gonna start looking for it in high school (recruits)." (HSB)
