How does that controversial hire look now? Neuheisel took a depleted, injury-ravaged team that appeared to be completely overmatched by Tennessee and pulled the biggest shocker of the opening weekend, 27-24 in overtime. The newly toughened Bruins bear scant resemblance to the faint-hearted teams of Karl Dorrell. Neuheisel might have the best coordinators in college football in DeWayne Walker, Norm Chow and Frank Gansz Jr., but credit the head coach for the in-game psyche job on quarterback Kevin Craft to keep him from crumpling after four first-half interceptions Monday night. How the rest of the season looks: Before this, a winning record looked like a stretch. Now? Who's going to count the Bruins out?

Forde ...

also says UCLA benefited from two bad calls at the goal line and insinuated that Pac 10 refs were favoring the home team.

I’ve read a ton of coverage on the net including a lot of coverage from the Tennessee side and no one else thought that those two calls were particularly noteworthy. Both were replayed and confirmed. I think Forde doth protest too much.

The Carter TD especially

The replay showed absolutely nothing. The call on the field (right next to the play) was a TD, and there was no reason to overturn it.

Furthermore

Weren’t the refs from the SEC? Isn’t that the deal in a home and away series? I did not see any controversial calls, only a couple of close calls that were reviewed and confirmed.
