Quotes about Colt's strive for perfection

About how he strives for perfection with his passes, Colt said:
"If I do that, everything will take care of itself. The wins, the statistics, the records, the accolades." (HA)

HA Note: "For all the numbers that surround Brennan — and he set 18 NCAA records last season — there are only two statistics he admits to checking: wins and completion percentage. The two go hand in hand for the Warriors, as Brennan's nation-leading 72.6 percentage in the 11-3 season of 2006 illustrate.

But if winning is the bottom line for Brennan, then completion percentage is what he figures will drive the No. 23-ranked Warriors there. Indeed, it is what he has hitched his career to and made his trademark."


About his accuracy, Colt said:
"It is what I pride myself on." (HA)


About striving for perfection, Colt said:
"When I'm out there on the practice field, unless the ball is completely perfect, then it is my bad. That's how I throw the football, and that's how I look at it. I just realized that if I could be a really accurate passer, that's my chance to keep on playing." (HA)

HA Note: "It has kept him playing, all right: a 68 percent completion rate as a senior in high school; 70 percent in junior college; 68 percent in his first year at UH.

They have kept him dreaming, too. The thought of a perfect game — no incompletions — teases him. Difficult to be sure for someone who has authored, on average, 41 passes per UH appearance. The closest he's come is a 32-of-39 (82 percent) showing in a 68-37 bombardment at Fresno State."


Hoping to throw the perfect game, Colt said:
"To go a whole game and not have an incomplete, well, that would be awesome. That would be so sweet." (HA)


About how Colt's accuracy is even better now, QB coach Dan Morrison said:
"he's more accurate. More accurate deep, too. He's always been accurate middle to short, but this year he is even more accurate deep." (HA)


About working all offseason on his deep passes, Colt said:
"I worked on it in the spring and all summer. I think it will show." (HA)


About the season, Coach Morrison said:
"He's ready." (HA)
