But while Colt Brennan may have secured a spot for himself on the Washington Redskins roster with his superb performance in last night's's Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, Tyler Graunke will not be in uniform when UH opens training camp today in Manoa.
First, Brennan: Colt threw a pair of touchdown passes while completing 9 of 10 attempts for 123 yards, helping to rally the Skins to a 30-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts, who are without the services of recovering star QB Peyton Manning.
Brennan slipped to the sixth round of this year's draft amid criticism that he lacked size and experience operating out of a pro-style offense.
But he appeared right at home in Washington's huddle.
Brennan entered the game midway through the third quarter and eight plays later hooked up with Maurice Mann on a 20-yard TD pass to tie the score at 16.
On the next series, Brennan took the Redskins 88 yards and scrambled around long enough to deliver a 5-yard TD pass to Marcus Mason, making it 23-16.
As for Graunke: He was suspended – but not dismissed from the squad -- by coach Greg McMackin for unspecified personal reasons.
That means Graunke initially will not be part of a competition for the starting job that also includes returnee Inoke Funaki and incoming JC transfers Greg Alexander and Brent Rausch.
