Stephen Tsai profiles Ian Sample.

Head coach June Jones said Sample is now the No. 1 right wideout.

"He's doing a great job for us," Jones said.

Tsai also profiles Malcolm Lane.

Jones said Lane will be used as a kick returner and backup wideout in this week's game against Nevada. By playing in Saturday's game, Lane, who graduated from an American high school in Germany in June, forfeits his opportunity to redshirt this year.

"It's an honor for me to play as a true freshman," Lane said. "And you never know what's going to happen down the road. You might get hurt, and you might need your redshirt year then. I'm glad coach Jones is giving me this chance."

Watch out next year, Michigan State! Oh that's right, they're wimping out of their commitment. Watch out Rebels!

Dave Reardon writes that UH is wary of the Wolf Pack.

"After watching the game tape I think that we have to play a lot better than that to beat Reno," Jones said yesterday at his weekly news conference. " ... Offensively I don't think we blocked their scheme as well as we needed to block it. And because of that we're going to get more of it. We're going to have to be mentally a little bit more ready than we were."

It will definitely be a great game. Let's hope UH cuts down on the mistakes!

And Kalani Simpson feels the Nevada game will bring back the fans to Aloha Stadium.

Nevada. Defending champs. A good offense, decent athletes, well coached. And, after winning the Hawaii Bowl in OT, last Christmas, you have to think the Wolf Pack will be one of the few Aloha Stadium visitors not intimidated by the trip.

There could be fireworks. This is a big one.

I'm genuinely excited. Can you feel it?

If you're on Oahu, you definitely gotta make it out to the stadium. Even if you're on the FUTGAS list, the Financially Unable To Go Aloha Stadium list, you need to borrow some money from grandma and go! GO WARRIORS!!!
