Stats and stuff
Could a position change be in the cards for quarterback Osaar Rasshan? During today's scrimmage, he was fifth-string quarterback, behind Patrick Cowan, Ben Olson, Kevin Craft and Chris Forcier and received very few reps.
Also, among the formations UCLA showed today (I mention it because the scrimmage was open to the public) was splitting tight end Logan Paulsen wide to create mismatches. Also, tailback Christian Ramirez ran well, both in getting to the corner and between the tackles, and coach Rick Neuheisel was very complimentary about Ramirez when I asked him in the post-scrimmage media get-together.
Here are the stats from today's scrimmage

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.
