Ex-UH star Sopoaga to start for 49ers

Advertiser Staff

Former University of Hawaii defensive lineman Isaac Sopoaga will make his second start of the season for the San Francsco 49ers Sunday at Arizona.

Sopoaga replaces nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who is out with a calf injury.

Other former UH players also are nursing injuries.

Wide receiver Ashley Lelie, who missed last Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams with a quad injury, remained out of practice yesterday.

Linebacker Jeff Ulbrich, who injured his ankle last week against St. Louis, did not practice yesterday.
