>>A LITTLE BANGED UP: Kicker Chad Christen was on crutches Tuesday, recovering from a recent surgery. His spring is done but Pasqualoni feels that he should be 100 percent for the fall.
"We had to do a little bit of surgery on Chad and everything came out good. He'll be ready to go for the season," Pasqualoni said. "We didn't want to take a chance of going into preseason camp having anything wrong with him."
Christen's injury was a recurrence of the groin injury that he suffered the week before the Cincinnati game, which forced Pasqualoni to burn the redshirt on freshman kicker Bobby Puyol. Looking at the MRI after Christen re-aggravated the injury, the decision was made to have the surgery.
"He was doing fine. He was kicking a PAT (extra point) and it happened again," Pasqualoni said. "Just warming it up, kicking a PAT. It was almost the way it happened the first time. He felt the strain. We rehabbed it and he was doing well and then he kicked the PAT and it happened again, so we said, `that's it.' We didn't want to take a chance."
