Answers, Part XI

Is there any chance we will see the two kids from Birmingham Milton Knox and Donovan Carter?
Sure, they'll be on the sideline Saturday. Neither will play since they are both red-shirting, but they'll be at the game. That said, the staff is very high on both of them, and I can see them both playing important roles next season.

In your opinion, would Craft be a starter if he were a QB at any other PAC-10 school?
I think he may be able to start at Washington State, but it is an unfair question. If he was given more time to develop and learn UCLA's system, I think he would be a much better quarterback.

what do you know about this UCLA ISP Sports Network business on the radio? Did something change that we don't know about?
I don't understand this question. I know about ISP, but what do you want to know?

Do you think this football team will win a single road game?
Yes. Knowing coach Rick Neuheisel, he will find a way to win at Washington.

Do you think Prince may get into the UA game if Craft doesn't start out well or will the coaches stay with Craft pretty much no matter what?
I think the only way Prince gets in the game is if Craft is injured.

Do you still think UCLA beats Fresno St.?
Yes, I do. The Bruins are a much different team at home. And Fresno State may suffer some lingering affects from the Wisconsin loss and being knocked out of the BCS picture.

Do you think a highly regarded true frosh could start on the OL next year?
Without question. Now, before everyone starts asking who that player is, let me say that I have no idea.

With Norm Chow in the press box, who is handling the offensive play calling on the sidelines relaying info to Craft?
One of the assistant coaches. Chow has always been in the box, so it's not as if this is any different.

Do you really think Craft will be the starting QB in 2009?
Honestly, it is too early to tell. But after two games, I would say no.

what do the coaches do on game day once they get to the rose Bowl? Isn't gameplanning complete? If so, are they working to tweak it or is it a case of getting the team through warm ups and then seeing how the game starts to unfold?
They are watching how their team warms up, checking how the other team warms up, and looking for any edge they may get. They are checking with kickers about field goal length, talking with players about last-minute game plan situations and going over what they want to do in the game.
