Here's what Neuheisel said when I pulled him aside at the press conference:

On the rumors of Milton Knox possibly transferring:
"Until Milton talks to me I have no reason to believe rumors. Addressing the more general issues, there are going to be youngsters who are frustrated. There's a couple ways to deal with that frustration. One is to continue to work and continue to look inside yourself as to how you go out and become somebody that everybody notices. The other is to way, well I'm just gonna go try it someplace else. My answer is it's always best to stick it out, having done it. I was fifth, fourth, third, second. I was the lowest of the low on the totem pole. I know, having stuck it out, not only did it have a happy ending for me as a player, but I also know I never walked away. There are always times it's prudent to do something else. As your time dissipates and you want to go play and you're not going to get that chance. Certainly my door is always open for those conversations. In the case you're mentioning, Milton has a lot of time left, and it doesn't make any sense to me. But that's a conversation for him and I."

On the offensive line in the red zone:
"I don't see our issues in the red zone as an offensive line issue. I see the throwing game not on all cylinders down there. We ran in for a touchdown on Saturday, we had a long run for touchdown. But we've gotta make plays, and we've got to execute when we're asked to execute on that area of the field."

On the offensive issues:
"Our issue is experience, and getting it so that everybody is on the same page. When we have it, the good news is when we have it, we're going to have it for a long time. These guys are still very early."

Can I ask if these knox rumors are coming from any significant source or are they just coming from upset fan talk from ucla fourms?
