UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel met with the media today, and an early topic was his not-so-pleasant relationship with the Oregon fans, dating back to when he faked a punt against the Ducks while at Colorado and the Buffs ahead 32-6.
“I anticipate (a rough welcoming) because we’ve been type cast in our roles, and I’ve got the black hat,” said Neuheisel, adding he “may be disappointed” if such wasn’t the case.
Neuheisel also revealed defensive back Tony Dye, who took over the nickel coverage against Washington State, will undergo wrist surgery after the season to repair a break, and have a pin inserted. He did not immediately know which wrist.
As far as other injuries, Neuheisel said receiver Marcus Everett (toe) and offensive lineman Micah Reed (knee) could play against the Ducks.
Also, linebacker Josh Edwards (foot) and running back Raymond Carter (groin) are questionable for Oregon.
