Spring Football: Day 4 quick hits
Just got back after UCLA's fourth day of spring football and for the first time, we got to see what the offense might be capable of. The offensive line --which was still without Alexsey Lanis (knee) and Nick Ekbatani (who sat out with an ankle injury, but should be back by Thursday) -- was opening up some gaping holes for running backs Christian Ramirez, Chane Moline and Craig Sheppard. The wide receivers --mostly Gavin Ketchum and Marcus Everett -- were making some good catches down the field.
Ben Olson, Patrick Cowan and Kevin Craft took most of the snaps again, but unlike Saturday's practice, Chris Forcier and Osaar Rashaan got some snaps too. The quarterback competition should really start to take shape this week. Coach Rick Neuheisel said that tommorrow (Tuesday) will be an important day, because after that, they are going to start limiting reps because ``we've got to get a team ready to play.''
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth 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.
