Finally, room to run

| | Comments (6) |

Johnathan Franklin took the handoff from Kevin Prince, cut to the left and bounced outside.

And seemingly in unison, coach Rick Neuheisel, offensive coordinator Norm Chow and offensive line coach Bob Palcic let out an enthusiastic scream.

For one of the few times since UCLA donned full pads and participated in contact drills, a running back got the ball and saw daylight in front of him.

Franklin ran for nearly 40 yards before being pushed out of bounds, the longest gain in any 11-on-11 drill during the day.

Otherwise, all of the Bruins' biggest offensive gains in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 competition came through the air, as Kevin Prince and Richard Brehaut overcame some early erratic play to connect with freshman Ricky Marvray for three passes of 15 yards or more -- including a diving catch in between defenders in the end zone on a 20-yard pass by Prince -- and screen passes to fullbacks Chane Moline and Jayson Allmond that resulted in gains of more than 20 yards.

we basically told him to leave because he would not play. He was not developing as we had hoped and was no longer UCLA material. Howland put it in his best interest to leave

Kendall also seemed to be a hot head. On one of the instances when Howland went to see him play, Kendall was shouting back to his coach. That's not a good sign.

Hi All,

See Brian's post "2009.07.28: Williams and UCLA parting ways". Brain talked about the split. I think you can find this in the archieves.
