UCLA football preview: Defensive line (194 clicks)
UCLA linebacker Reggie Carter has a challenge for the Bruins’ offensive linemen this training camp.
“I would like to see someone block Brian Price for a while,” Carter said at the Pacific 10 Conference’s media day. “I have never seen that.”
Price, a junior defensive tackle, is the centerpiece of what should be a strong starting defensive front this season. His abilities are such that UCLA coaches are already fretting that he may jump to the NFL after this season.

A Neu Theme in 2009? (104 clicks)
If relentless optimism was the dominant theme in 2008, are we up for a change in 2009? I've been noticing a trend in the articles on BN and also among other media outlets of a certain brash confidence among our players (offense and defense) and coaching staff. So far, I like it.

In 2008 we had a couple different starters at right tackle, but it was The Mike Harris Show (I mean that in a good way!) for the last 5 games. After spring in 2009, Jeff Baca is slated to start at the right tackle spot.

UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel wanted to make one thing perfectly clear last week at the Pacific 10 Conference’s media day.
“We’re going to be able to run the ball or die trying this year,” Neuheisel said, then paused, then hammered it home again. “We’re going to be able to run the ball or die trying this year.”
A dramatic leap in ability and execution will be required to keep the Bruins off life-support.
UCLA ranked 116 out of 120 BCS Division teams in rushing last season, averaging 82.8 yards per game. The Bruins’ average of 2.6 yards per carry was fodder for three-yards-and-ground-to-dust jokes.
