Press conference tidbits

UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said met the media for his weekly press conference, and he spoke about playing Tennessee in the season opener Monday at the Rose Bowl.
“We’re eager to find out where we are,” Neuheisel said.
A couple other quick hitters —
*Neuheisel said defensive tackle Brigham Harwell (back spasms) should return to practice Tuesday. He hasn’t practiced since Thursday.
*Neuheisel added starting left tackle Micah Kia (broken left hand) was being fitted for a custom cast and it was anticipated he would be ready to play.
*”There will be growing pains, but we’ll have to weather those,” Neuheisel said.
*Neuheisel’s first career start came against fellow SEC team Georgia, which somebody brought up.
“I knew it was going to be a tough night when Uga threw up on my shoes,” said Neuheisel, who opined about throwing four interceptions. “I’m not sure which Uga, though.”
