Hey guys,

Sorry for the long delay, I had to take care of some office stuff before practice that ran a bit longer than I expected. As in three hours.

Back to the fun stuff: With two practices to prepare for Stanford, the Bruins are more than eager to get out there and prove that their 3-0 start is no fluke. Practice was crisp on Wednesday, as UCLA prepares for the conference-leading Cardinal.

Reggie Carter had some awesome stuff to say about preparing for Toby Gerhart, Kai Maiava chimed in on the anticipation of attempting to become 4-0, but Logan Paulsen said that is not the ultimate goal.

I’ll be back throughout the night with updates, so thanks for checking in,

Now Fox Sport’s Billy Witz says UCLA-Stanford is the big game in the Bay this weekend…

Other Game

UCLA’s offensive line is getting to know each other after three straight starts as a unit:

The Unit

While the temperature dipped on Tuesday afternoon, UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel did not believe his player’s energy did.
The Bruins were active on offense and playmakers on defense, as there were a handful of crunching hits. Andrew Abbott popped Randall Carroll with a beautiful shoulder tackle late in the day.

Here are a couple of interesting things to note:
After starting the same offensive three straight games just once last year – Weeks 4 through 6 – the Bruins have put out the same group every game this year.

UCLA must keep an eye on electric returner Chris Owusu. Owusu averages 59.2 yards per kick return. Fifty. Nine. Point. Two.
