Neuheisel ON: Part 6
On Nelson Rosario:
"I think Nelson is a very, very talented young man who at times teases you that he's going to blossom into that great one. He reminds me of J.J. Stokes. But I'm also mindful that J.J, didn't really hit full stride until the ninth game of his sophomore year. As a freshman I think he had four catches. Nelson got here and there wasn't anybody to follow behind. He got thrust into it early in his career. While we all want him to blossom now, I still believe there's this big-time player who's going to come out."
On UCLA not realizing Cal had only 10 men on the field for two plays, one of which was an interception returned for touchdown:
"It's rare that a quarterback counts 10 and 11. We see coverages, and there were seven in coverage which is the norm. The coverage wasn't out of whack. The pass rush was."
On Johnathan Franklin playing a bigger role in the passing game:
"Johnathan Franklin is a very exciting young player and will have a the impact in the throw game as he continues to develop. It's about growing up and learning that and developing it."
