OL woes

| | Comments (0) |

I spoke to UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, offensive line coach Bob Palcic and offensive coordinator Norm Chow about the offense's performance in Saturday's scrimmage, and each were pleased with what the offense was able to do.
However, when the topic turned to the backup offensive line -- Brandon Bennett, Sonny Tevaga, Jake Dean, Aaron Meyer and Mike Harris -- there was a lot of concern.
Palcic said: "I thought that the first line did a commendable job for a first scrimmage, for being as young and inexperienced as they are. The second offensive line, we need to get much, much better."
Neuheisel said: "The first offensive line graded out ok. The second offensive line has still got a long way to go, and that's where we really have to do a lot of work in the last seven days of practice, to make sure our backup offensive line can be productive if they're forced into action."
Chow said: "There's no waiver wire here, so you've got to make 'em play. That's what we have to do."

About Inside UCLA

This is Brian Dohn's sixth 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.
