CANTON, Ohio — A day after a couple of old Redskins were honored, a couple of new ones put a fitting capper on Hall of Fame weekend.

Rookie Colt Brennan, the former Hawai'i quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist, threw two touchdown passes in the second half, leading new Washington coach Jim Zorn and the Redskins to a 30-16 victory over Indianapolis in last night's Hall of Fame Game.

Winning seemed like an appropriate tribute to two of the Redskins' most revered players, Art Monk and Darrell Green, who were inducted into the Hall of Fame along with former Kansas City cornerback and Redskins assistant coach Emmitt Thomas on Saturday. The other inductees were linebacker Andre Tippett, tackle Gary Zimmerman and defensive end Fred Dean.

"Taking my first snap, I went to the line, took a deep breath and thought to myself, 'Just have fun out here tonight,' " Brennan said. "And I had a lot of fun."

So did the huge contingent of Washington fans who turned Fawcett Stadium into a makeshift version of FedEx Field.

"Guys walking around you are Hall of Famers," said Brennan on playing in the Hall of Fame Game. "When you get into that stadium — and it's a real intimate stadium — you're not blown away by it being the NFL. It's normal basically. I felt really comfortable there. When it was my turn, I was chomping at the bit. I was ready to play football. It was a nice place to start out. It gives you a lot to get excited about what you're about to take part of."

The debuts of Zorn and Brennan produced exactly what the Redskins had hoped for — even if it was a meaningless preseason game.

"I've had such an up-and-down offseason since the (Sugar Bowl) game, with my (hip) injury," Brennan said. "I was looking for something to go right for me. I was thinking, with this being my debut, it would be awesome if I could go out and do really well, and start off my new career on a good note. Luckily, that kind of took place."

Zorn, who replaced retired Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs, wanted to use the league's preseason opener to get in sync with his coaches and players. He did better than that. His team scored the final 21 points.

And Brennan was nearly flawless. He was 9 of 10 for 123 yards with two touchdowns and a near-perfect quarterback rating of 157.5.

"More than his throws, what I was pleased with is how he was looking to the right guy when he was backpedaling," said Zorn, a former NFL quarterback. "He knew the plays, knew the routes. He should feel very good about his performance."

Brennan entered midway through the third quarter, trailing 16-9, 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 threaded a 26-yard pass to tight end Jason Goode, and took the Redskins 88 yards, ending with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Mason that made it 23-16 with 10:22 to go.

"I just got lucky on that play," Brennan said of the deep middle pass to Goode, one of his three completions over 20 yards. "I saw the guy flash wide open. I tried to give him a chance. I knew there was a guy back there. Luckily, it was a good enough ball where it got over the linebacker and it gave the tight end a chance to make a play on it."

Matterral Richardson sealed the victory by picking off Jared Lorenzen and sprinting 38 yards for a touchdown with 1:50 to go.
