Weekly Answers, Part 1

I think ucla's o-line misses eddie williams at gaurd its killing the rushing attack. How do you see the ground game vs ASU working with ryan taylor starting? - Leon Black
If Ryan Taylor starts at all? I expect UCLA to struggle in the running game unless they find a way to mix it up a little bit and catch the Sun Devils off guard.

2) I would like to know what the plans for Presley are? Is he likely to be a go to guy at WR or are there plans to use him at TE again? - BruinBurd
Unless Presley puts on about 40 pounds, he won't move back to tight end. He's too small to block a defensive lineman. He'll stay at wideout.

3) Also what is going on with the Ohio St transfer kid?
Willie Mobley is at Orange Coast College, attempting to gain enough units by next semester as to qualify for UCLA. He has opened his recruiting, though, in case he does not meet the requirements.

4) I'm assuming Anthony Stover is on the BB team. Is there anything going with this guy? Status? Is he redshirting this year? - rejn
I'm almost positive he's going to redshirt.

5) WHAT WAS THE NAME THAT WON IN NAMING THE WILDCAT OFFENSE? - g2ucla
It's still up for voting: VOTE

6) WHO DO YOU THINK STARTS THIS WEEK AT RUNNING BACK? - g2ucla
Derrick Coleman will start at running back this week, with Franklin rotating in.

7) After this year, is sean sheller moving back to offensive tackle, or does he have a future on the defensive line? - Oscar
No, I've been told Sheller will stay put.

8) Do you think we will beat USC this year in football? - Anonymous
Until I see UCLA's offensive line manage a decent pass rush against Arizona State, I don't know. The gap is certainly closed, but an angry, beaten-up USC team at home won't be an easy task.

9) On a scale of 1 to 10, how good of a coach do you think Rick Neuhisel is? - Anonymous
As a game manager, I say somewhere around a 7.5. There have been some blown timeouts and misuse of players that I didn't agree with. As a recruiter, he's a 10. So overall, I'd say around an 8.7.

10) Do you think Richard Breheut should have been redshirted? - Anonymous
Yes, but it's complicated. From the start, I don't think they gave Craft enough of a chance to prove himself as a backup. Had they known that he wasn't going to be such a calamity as last year, they probably would've at least preserved Brehaut's redshirt earlier in the season. With Craft's emergence as a suitable No. 2, it threw things off.
