Eddie Williams update

The redshirt junior transfer sat out practice after suffering from dehydration yesterday.
After practice on Tuesday, Williams began to cramp up and after attempts to insert an intravenous fluid tube proved unsuccessful, he was taken to the hospital.
Rick Neuheisel said after practice, though, that Williams would be full go at practice tomorrow, and would still be starting on Saturday.

Eddie Williams dehydrated, rushed to hospital

UCLA junior offensive guard Eddie Williams was treated for dehydration at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital and has been released.

Williams suffered cramping and was in need of fluids. Because of his dehydration, the athletic training staff was unable to start an IV so he was transported to the hospital for the required fluids.

Williams is not expected to practice on Wednesday.

Early Odds and Ends

Eddie Williams on the offensive optimism:
“We know as a unit we can move the ball. Even our coaches say that they see it in everyone. Everyone is more confident in their blocking, not shying away. We’re going to move the ball.”

Datone Jones on his expectations:
“I’m not trying to break even. I’m not trying to be average. Every day is a grind for me. If I mess up on a drill, I want to restart the drill. I’m not trying go break even this season. I know Brian Price and Reggie Carter and all the others have public spotlights. I’m trying to do the same thing.”
