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.
I don't blame him. That screw worked wonders on his last injury. Great decision, Ben!

The season will be half over by the time he will actually be able to play again. At that point, will the coaches actually let him play?
Really, best case scenario is he's healthy enough for senior day and he takes a couple of snaps with the first team.
I think regardless of his health, UCLA will have moved on by the time he's in a position to be playing again. Good luck to him in his rehab.
