Post-Practice Update

* UCLA's last big practice before the spring game was a lively one, with a number of nice plays and a few skirmishes.

* A really productive day for both Morrell Presley and Anthony Barr, and with their respective skill sets, UCLA would be nuts not to use them often. Say you have 70 offensive plays - between Presley, Barr, Cory Harkey and Joseph Fauria, they should see the ball 15 times. I know that's combining the F-back and tight end positions...but don't they basically do that anyway?

* Barr had a couple moves in heavy traffic that I haven't seen from him, and he seems to be building confidence.

* It was also the Ricky Marvray show today, as he caught a number of passes in both team drills and 7-on-7 action. As I said to a fellow reporter, you come to a UCLA practice, and you'd think Marvray was Marvin Harrison.

* The offensive line was dreadful in the two-minute drill session at the end of practice, and got stern talkings-to from offensive coordinator Mike Johnson. Meanwhile, Richard Brehaut and Brett Hundley did fairly well with limited time in the pocket, though Neuheisel came down hard on Hundley a couple times. Overall, it was not a crisp offensive performance.

* RS Freshman OL Wade Yandall is out with a concussion, Rick Neuheisel said.

* Neuheisel said Sean Sheller, Kai Maiava, John Young, Damien Thigpen and Yandall wouldn't play in Saturday's scrimmage. He added that Tony Dye could see limited action.

* Stan Hasiak and Damien Holmes mixed it up once, but Hasiak ended it pretty quickly - man, has that kid matured - and there was a tiff between Jordan Zumwalt and Taylor Embree. Pretty standard stuff, though.

* Lastly, gotta say, I was impressed by Nick Crissman today, who looked good in his limited action.
