Keep in mind
Here is the notebook I wrote for today's paper, which updates on QB Kevin Craft's progress and on the offensive line situation because of the injury to LG Darius Savage.
Two other things I thought were worth mentioning:
The 135 yards UCLA's defense allowed were the fewest since the Bruins yielded 42 in the 1989 Cotton Bowl against Arkansas.
Remembering many of these players are still kids, when I talked to Savage after the game, he said he needed to call his mom because she left him a few voice mails during game because she was concerned about his injury.

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.
Terrible news regarding Savage. I certainly hope Tevaga is NOT the answer. If anyone paid attention to the OSU game it looked like Sonny was wearing concrete shoes. A scholarship athlete at a D1 school has to be better then that.
I would be surprised to see Mr. Tevaga on the front line
