Impressive morning
Taylor Embree doesn't have eye-popping speed, but he has tremendous hands and showed them off with a sensation one-handed catch along the sideline. He also made several nice catches during the two-minute drill toward the end of practice.
Running back Milton Knox has looked good in his limited reps, but Kahlil Bell and Raymond Carter are getting most of the carries at running back.
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said he will give Bell the afternoon practice off as a precautionary measure. Bell is returning from ACL surgery.
Also, DT Jerzy Siewierski and RG Scott Glicksberg returned to practice, although Glicksber ran with the second team.
I will have Neuheisel's audio up on the site within the next hour, word from the afternoon practice and the latest on quarterback Ben Olson's foot injury.
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.
