Post-scrimmage update

| | Comments (5) |

UCLA's offense didn't look nearly as good as it did in the scrimmage last weekend. The first-team offense didn't score and Patrick Cowan and Ben Olson were a combined 8 for 20.
Afterward, coach Rick Neuheisel said, in short, the passing game needed to make a dramatic improvement in the next week to give it some momentum heading into the offseason.
The first- and second-team offensive line had trouble with penalties -- holds and false starts.
The running game also struggled with Christian Ramirez and Chane Moline shouldering most of the work after walk-on Craig Sheppard went down with a shoulder injury, although it's not expected to be serious. It got to the point where walk-on receiver Ben Bruneau, who played a little running back last season, was shifted over and actually made a 60-yard run, which was nullified by a false start.

At the beginning of the year the defense is almost always ahead of the offense; the pitchers ahead of the batters.

The schools whose players go to practice ahead of those schools... I mean the one school whose players don't.
