Mornin', all
Here is the notebook I wrote for this morning's paper. With middle linebacker Reggie Carter out with a concussion, I spoke to backup middle linebacker Steve Sloan about the importance of getting reps with the first team.
"I'm getting there,'' Sloan said. "Coach (DeWayne) Walker puts so much pressure on the 2s to perform like the 1s that he's not going to let up because you're with the 2s. He's pushing the 2s harder than the 1s."

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.
