This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.

Great news! In the interim, with Irvin starting, I assume Skaggs is the backup the next two weeks. What's teh current depth chart? Who is behind Skaggs there? thanks, Brian

Listed on the depth chart behind Irvin is Skaggs. However, I would not be surprised if Micah Reed played ahead of Skaggs. I talked to OL coach Bob Connelly just before the season, and he said Reed could be the backup at center and both guard spots.

That is great news. I think Shannon has a chance to play in the NFL, and it would be a shame if an injury called that possibility.

At the rate we're playing, we will need everybody healthy to compete against Notre Dame.

You are what you are. You don't go from being a 7-6 team to a national champion. Shame on the media for overhyping a talented team. They are good and will get better, but to make them out to be LSU is absurd. Give Dorrell and his staff a break. They'll bounce back fine.
