Third and ...punt

Here is the notebook I wrote that was in today's paper, with UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel talking about the shortcomings of the offense and also an injury update.
Neuheisel also talked Sunday night about UCLA's problems converting third downs. The Bruins were 4 for 17 against Arizona, and are 15 for 46 on the season.
"Our third down efficiency on offense is a real problem, especially when we had so many third-and-shorts," Neuheisel said. "I think we had six third-and-1s, 2s or 3s, and converted one time and five (third-and) 4, 5 or six and converted one time. That's a place where we have to make measured improvement as we go forward."
