Post practice update

UCLA players caught the wrath of the coaching staff Tuesday when they did the traditional ditching of practice, but without going "over the wall" but rather by running through an open gate, so coach Rick Neuheisel ended Thursday's practice, after a two-hour session, by sending all the players "over the wall." And this time they all went over it.
The practice was quick in tempo and hard-hitting, and Neuheisel was generally pleased. However, he was upset about a half-dozen of so fumbled snaps between center Micah Reed and quarterback Ben Olson, and said he will get that cleaned up by focusing on it.
As far as Friday's scrimmage is concerned, guard Nick Ekbatani could see some action after missing the last week with a sprained ankle.
