PROFILE

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.

Craft's work habits

Here is the football notebook that was in today's paper.
In addition, I was impressed by what JUCO transfer QB Kevin Craft did in the fall so he could achieve his associate's degree and enroll at a four-year school and take part in spring practice.
"It was 18 (units) of academic classes, and they also count football as classes,'' Craft said. "They count football as classes, so it is one unit for lifting, one unit for practice, one unit for meetings. I was pretty focused. If I wasn't on campus at school, I would be with my dad watching film or at practice. If I wasn't there, I would be at home because it was so late.''

Craft, who began his career at San Diego State, said he wasn't surprised to learn he would be able to enroll at UCLA in time for spring practice.
"I figured it would happen because I took 21 units last semester just so I could get my A.A. and go to a four-year school,'' Craft said. "I'm really not that surprised because somebody told me earlier that was the case, so going into that semester I figured that was the role."
