Learning curve
Here is the UCLA football notebook I wrote in today's paper.
In talking to Bruins safety Rahim Moore, he, like almost every freshman, said the biggest adjustment was the speed of the college game. But he wasn't talking about the plays.
"I was covering a deep ball, and was jogging back and by the time I got to the huddle, the net play was being run,'' Moore said. "That took some adjusting, but I have it now. The speed is so much different."
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.
