Olson and the sixth
Before heading in for surgery to repair his broken foot, I spoke with UCLA quarterback Ben Olson about whether he would seek a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA.
Basically (and as expected) Olson said he wouldn't qualify because you have to miss two complete seasons because of injury, and his injuries are spliced across three seasons.
"I talked to (Patrick) Cowan about it, because he looked at it, and you have to miss two full years,'' Olson said. "Plus, I plan on coming back this season. I'll be back this season. You can count on that."

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.
