The theater was fun to watch in the third quarter when starting quarterback Kevin Craft limped off the field with an ankle injury, which sent backup Chris Forcier into the game.
Then the Bruins ran a gimmick play in which Forcier handed the ball off, then ran behind the running back as the two ran the option. Forcier gained seven yards on the run, and Craft got an Oscar nomination for pretending his was hurt.
"I thought he sold it pretty well,'' UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said. "Actually, he's got a little nick in his foot, so we went ahead and used it."
thanks for this info, brian. this kind of entry is why u make the big bucks!
Back here in Brian's old stomping ground we got to see the game on MSG - a great treat for us East Coast Bruin fans!
Forcier looked very good on that play. Maybe he should take a few more reps there (RB) in practice...
LOL. Not as good an actor as that stupid punter on the Oklahoma squad who got brushed by the defender and then fell to the ground with an "ankle injury." He did it TWICE.
Why are the coaches making this public info?
