Road woes
UCLA goes on the road this weekend, traveling to Oregon. The Bruins are 10-18 as visitors since 2003, compared to 26-9. For more details about the road woes, here is the notebook I wrote for today's paper.
Also, in the notebook, there are updates on some injured players, Kevin Craft's streak of not throwing an interception, and an update on Oregon's quarterback situation.

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.
What is the status of QB Nick Crissman?. Is he redshirted have'nt heard a word about him.?
Forget the past. Right NOW I see a flat Oregon team coming back from a confidence shaking loss to SC. I think our rush D will hold the line and force them to pass. If our O can burn them in man coverage we'll pull out the win.
I was close on the Fresno game - our own fumble killed us. WSU there was no point predicting since we should win that game as handily as we did.
If our kids can set aside the crazy atmosphere of their stadium (we I believe they can) I think we will be the upset of the week in the PAC10.
