UTE NOTES

Teams and coaches for the Red-White game will be selected on Wednesday ... Saturday's affair will be a full-scale game, minus kickoffs, kickoff returns and punt returns (all punts will be fair caught) ... The first two quarters of the Red-White game will be 12 minutes in length, with a normal game clock. Quarters three and four will feature a running clock and will last 10 minutes each. There will be a three minute halftime ... Defenders Martail Burnett and Steve Tate are two starters who will miss the spring game. Both are nursing sore shoulders ... Kenape Eliapo and Gabe Long have nailed down the two starting tackle positions after fending off competition from Pauli Latu and Zeke Tuinei-Wily ... Jason Boone has moved from right to left tackle. Dustin Hensel is the new starting right tackle ... Paul Kruger is practicing at both tight end and defensive end.
