BO may get to play this Saturday. Lonnie White reports:
Coach Karl Dorrell said there's a chance that redshirt freshman quarterback Ben Olson, sidelined since training camp because of a small fracture in his throwing hand, will see his first action of the season against Washington on Saturday at the Rose Bowl.
"I would like to get [Olson] in the game," Dorrell said. "To see him throw the ball and get his timing back ... that would be my goal."
Olson practiced on Monday and threw with more velocity. Although he said there's still some pain, Olson said he hopes to play Saturday. "Yes, hopefully this is the week," he said.
Well we sure expect to see BO then because UCLA should be blowing the Huskies out of Pasadena this Saturday."I would like to get [Olson] in the game," Dorrell said. "To see him throw the ball and get his timing back ... that would be my goal."

Kuwada of the OC Register has more on why the banged up Huskies will be in so much trouble facing the Bruins:
Washington has allowed opponents to complete 64.7 percent of their passes, the worst mark in the Pac-10. It also has allowed 8.6 yards per passing play, ninth in the conference.
Starting cornerback Matt Fountaine is nursing an injury suffered in Saturday's loss to Notre Dame and could be limited or out altogether.
If Fountaine cannot play, sophomore Roy Lewis would start - and he is listed as the backup at both corner spots.
The Huskies have little depth at the positions and were forced to move sophomore Durrell Moss (Orange High) from fullback to cornerback then outside linebacker then safety.
Dohn also has more on Washington's matchup problems against Maurice Drews and the resurgent passing game of UCLA. Like I said above, I am expecting BO to make his debut sometime during the 3rd quarter this blowout Saturday.
