Post practice stuff
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel met with the media after practice and said he spoke with his team about the necessity to give great effort and mentioned it "would be criminal" if the team didn't come together and play its best football of the season in the final month in hopes of securing a bowl berth.
As for the quarterbacks, there really wasn't much change from the season. Kevin Craft took the majority of the reps, and Neuheisel said Craft looked good. Chris Forcier took the odd snap with the first unit, but wasn't impressive.
Meanwhile, Ben Olson did some jogging and could take some reps this week, but Neuheisel said it would be "very, very, very optimistic he'd be ready for the next game."
On the injury front, TB Kahlil Bell (ankle), OL Micah Reed (knee), OL Jeff Baca (hamstring) and LB John Hale all sat out practice with nagging injuries.
Craft always looks good in practice. Games are a different story. It is disappointing that we can't come up with an alternative. I hope Rick is true to his word and starts giving Forcier or anyone but Craft more reps.
Dude, Craft is better both in practice AND in games. Forcier was 1 for 5 in the last game.
If we give reps to others, we are losing out on chances to make Craft better.
