Media day tidbits
Here are a few things that came out of Pac-10 media day, in regards to UCLA:
--UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said Nate Chandler, Mike Harris and Nick Ekbatani would compete for the right tackle spot. (He is not allowed to speak about Donovan Edwards because he is not in school yet.)
--UCLA and USC likely will not both wear home uniforms when they play this season, Neuheisel said.
--QB Osaar Rasshan is rehabbing from offseason knee surgery, but is experiencing soreness and Neuheisel said he was not sure if Rasshan would be ready for training camp.
--Neuheisel re-iterated what he told me a few months ago about QB Ben Olson being the starter entering camp, but said Olson needs to display more leadership skills.
--Outside of offensive line, Neuheisel said the sorting out of the secondary remains the biggest issue.
--Former center Aaron Meyer may try to transfer to Nicholls State to finish his career. Neuheisel confirmed what I already reported, that Meyer will not play this season and his scholarship will be open.

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.
I was looking forward to all home unis too !!
