During those nine games, Rolovich threw for 3,361 yards and 34 touchdowns on 233-of-405 passing. He ended his college career with three straight 500-yard passing games. He also tossed school single-game records of 8 touchdowns and 543 yards in a 72-45 win over BYU on December 8, 2001. Those numbers helped him place tenth in the nation in pass efficiency (105.5) while breaking 19 school passing records and eight total offense records. Prior to playing at Hawaii, Rolovich was a two-time junior college All-American (1998-99) at City College of San Francisco, where he led the Rams to a national championship in 1999. Rolovich also participated in and was named one of the two MVPs from the 2002 Hula Bowl college all-star game.
