Line improvement
Here is the UCLA notebook I wrote in today's paper, with much of it focused on the offensive line.
Another thing Bruins offensive coordinator Norm Chow and offensive line coach Bob Palcic told me is they are pleased with the development of the line through the first week of training camp.
"We're better than we were when we finished in the spring,'' Palcic said. "We're better run blockers. We're better (pass) protectors. We have a better understanding of the offense."

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.
Thank God. At least there is SOME good news.
Well what else is the coach going to say? "Our OL has gotten worse since the spring. We now have no ability run and pass block. None of our guys understand the offense at all."
