Blake questionable
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said defensive end Tom Blake was questionable for Saturday's game at Oregon with an abdominal strain. If Blake does not play, Neuheisel said freshman Datone Jones would get most of the snaps.
Neuheisel said it would be a game-time decision whether Kai Forbath or Jimmy Rotstein handle kick-offs for the Bruins.
Also, Neuheisel said he was uncertain whether Marcus Everett (toe) or Micah Reed (knee) would make the trip. Neither are expected to play, but there is a limit of 64 players allowed for Pac-10 road games, and he may chose to bring an emergency player or two (like a long snapper) to Eugene.

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.
Then I sure hope we are leaving Ben Olsen at home. We sure as heck aren't going to need him.
A long snapper, huh? I guess the expectation is that we'll be doing a lot of punting...
To be fair, though, punting IS winning.
