Post-Practice Update
* UCLA practiced in shells today and primarily focused on the gameplan, with extensive walk-through work.
* Kai Forbath warmed up but did not do much kicking, and he'll be a game-day decision, but Neuheisel said he's bringing all the scholarship kickers, and 72-73 players total.
* There was a skirmish between Taylor Embree and Akeem Ayers that quickly flared up and quickly died, and Neuheisel said it was the first Thursday altercation he's seen in a while.
* Kevin Prince looked the best he's looked in a while, and though he was off on some passes, I think he's definitely good to go.
* Saw a couple of nice catches today, including a great grab by Josh Smith. If the line holds up, expects some impressive down-field gains.
* Pay close attention to the running back rotation, because as of now, I have no idea what to expect. All four guys once again got reps with the first team, though Derrick Coleman and Johnathan Franklin obviously got the lions' share. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
* Also, Brandon Willis was at practice, and I've heard he'll join the team late next week, possibly Wednesday.
