The Power Of Relentless Optimism

And folks thought ... that was just some kind of shallow words ... from our prodigal son. I really don't know where to start? We have heard the snickering, lampooning, sneers ... from all over the college football world (both traditional media and the blogosphere) since CRN's arrival in Westwood....

Spaulding Roundup: (Craft) Making An Impression

So it sounds like there has been some movement in quarterback competition. According to the press reports Craft has stepped up. He is making an impression on the coaching staff earning more reps. According to Dohn he “took almost every snap” with the fist team yesterday: Neither...

Spaulding Roundup: Finding The Right Combination

Practice keeps humming along over at Spaulding. Given all the question marks around our offense most of the news is coming from that front and from what I am reading in the papers, it seems like coaches are trying out everything to put together a workable combination in two weeks. The tinkering by...

Spaulding Roundup: We Are Going To Be Allright

So on the second day after Ben Olson went down at Spaulding the Bruins had a sluggish day on offense (or a dominating one on defense from another pov). The sloppy offensive performance (to start the Monday of second week of Fall practice) led to Neuheisel making a comment about being...

New Quarterback for UCLA In 08: Olson Out For 8 Weeks

Looks like Neuheisel and Chow have some new (and dramatic) information to work with. Hot off Dohn's blog: UCLA quarterback Ben Olson will miss at least eight weeks after breaking the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during a non-contact drill Saturday. It is the same injury Olson...

Spaulding Roundup: A Time To Chill

Allow me to start this Sunday with a story I heard from a good buddy of mine during last football season. Apparently last year after Utah humiliated UCLA in a game in which Olson was bruised and battered (a game in which he was kept in even though as it was later revealed that he had suffered...

Spaulding Roundup: First Saturday Of Full Pads

Here we go. The first day of full pads gets started today at 4:30 (till about 6:45). Ben Olson will be in action. He sat out yesterday after going all out for three straight days. Rick Neuheisel decided to sit out his starting quarterback for a day before the team begins its first full pad session...

Questions Around Our Signal Callers

Let’s shift our attention from the least glamorous position in the offense to the most glamorous one – the quarterback. And you know where the story begins in this position. Anyone who considers himself or herself a UCLA football fan should know the story of Ben Olson. If you need to...
