PROFILE

This is Brian Dohn's fifth 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.

A few things

UCLA coach Karl Dorrell said tonight he was pleased with the play of QB Ben Olson (read more in tomorrow's paper), and that he liked the way UCLA responded after not playing well offensively in the first half.
There were no significant injuries, although he said more would be known about TB Chris Markey's turf toe either Monday or Tuesday. Markey told me after the game he took an injection to get on the field in the second half.
Dorrell added that LT Aleksey Lanis didn't play in the second half because his left knee tightened, and that Lanis has been dealing with tendinitis since training camp.

This was a confidence building victory for Ben Olson. Before this, I don't think he played in a game where we had to come back and win.

Good point DoubleBruin, the last time UCLA was losing in the 4th Q of a game and Olson was QB was UW in 2006.

I know it borders on pointless, but will you please ask about Price? What surprises me about Price is I would have thought Howard/Walker called those shots.

I hope this means that Bell's shoulder injury is not serious. We need him healthy and firing on all cylinders for the duration, regardless of Markey's toe status.
