• It’s too bad cornerback Steve Christian won’t be able to play for an extended period. Christian suffered a labrum injury that will require surgery. He redshirted as a freshman last year. • Just because UH can endure the loss of wideout Malcom Lane, it doesn’t mean it won’t be easier without him. Lane left training camp to tend to “personal business.” Not only does Lane have experience — he has not redshirted in his first three UH seasons — […]
• Right wideout Malcolm Lane is not in camp because of personal reasons. • Paipai Falemalu has moved from linebacker to defensive end. • Alex Dunnachie boomed several long punts, drawings calls of “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” from teammates. • Brashton Satele made a nice interception of a Shane Austin pass on a fake field-goal attempt. * * * * * Here’s a look at the Warriors as they were checking into the dance studios that will serve as their training-camp […]

Craig Stutzmann is joining the Portland State coaching staff. Stutzmann, who is in charge of UH receivers, told PSU head coach Jerry Glanville he will accept the offer, which must be finalized by the school president. An announcement is likely to be made tomorrow. Stutzmann’s younger brother, freshman wideout Billy Ray Stutzmann, will remain with the Warriors. * * * * * Very happy birthday wishes to Rob25.
in a show of support — and leadership — middle linebacker Brashton Satele organized his teammates’ turnout for the news conference to announce the sanctions against coach Greg McMackin. Satele arranged it so the players would line up alongside McMackin’s path leading to the Stan Sheriff Center. * * * * * McMackin’s penalty will total $162,250.
