2 UCLA Football EagleBank Bowl Guide
Rick Neuheisel, who quarterbacked UCLA to victory in the 1984 Rose Bowl and who enjoyed a high level of success as a head coach at two other programs, is completing his second year as head coach at his alma mater and has led the Bruins to a berth in the EagleBank Bowl.
The energetic and personable Neuheisel returned to UCLA in December of 2007 and has brought energy and excitement to the program. This season, the Bruins scored a huge win on the road at Tennessee and won three straight games in November to become bowl eligible. Kai Forbath won the Lou Groza Award, Forbath and Brian Price earned fi rst-team All-America acclaim, Rahim Moore earned second-team honors and those three, along with Reggie Carter and Alterraun Verner, were fi rst-team All-Pac-10 selections. Twice in 2008, the Bruins rallied late in the fourth quarter for victories, including versus Tennessee on national television on Labor Day evening.
In addition, he laid a solid foundation to build upon and in February signed a second straight Top 10 recruiting class. Neuheisel is “relentlessly positive” and sees great things for the future of Bruin football.
“Rick has enjoyed great success throughout his career and we believe he is the coach who can take our program to the next level,” said athletic drector Dan Guerrero at the time of Neuheisel’s hiring. “His teams at Colorado and Washington continually challenged for conference championships and national rankings and that is what we are looking to do at UCLA.
“Rick is an outstanding coach and recruiter. He is outgoing and personable and can motivate our players, fans and support-ers. We believe he is well equipped to lead the program and attain the success all Bruin fans wish to achieve.”
“I am thrilled to be returning to my alma mater as its head coach,” said Neuheisel. “UCLA is a special place and I want to thank Dan Guerrero and Chancellor (Gene) Block for the opportunity to come home. We are going to build a program our sup-porters will be proud of, both on and off the fi eld. I can’t wait to get started.”
Neuheisel, 48, returned to the collegiate ranks after spending the three seasons (2005-07) as an assistant coach for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens. He served as quarterbacks coach in 2005 and 2006 and in January of 2007, was promoted to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. With the Ravens, he worked with quarterbacks Kyle Boller, Steve McNair and, most recently, 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith.
In his eight years as a college head coach at the University of Colorado and the University of Washington, he fashioned a record of 66-30, winning at least 10 games on three occasions and fi nishing in the Top 10 on three occasions, and led his teams to seven bowl games.
During his four seasons (1999-2002) as head coach at the University of Washington, Neuheisel led the Huskies to a record of 33-16 (.673) and four bowl games (one Rose Bowl, two Holiday Bowls and one Sun Bowl). His Pac-10 record was 23-9 (.719) and Washington won one league title and fi nished second twice in those four seasons. The Husky offense averaged over 390 yards per game in each season, topped by 420.7 in 2002 (17th in the nation) and 407.9 in 2000 (35th).
In his fi nal season, the Huskies fi nished 7-6 and tied for 4th in the Pac-10 while ranking fourth nationally in passing offense (346.2 yards per game) and earning a spot in the Sun Bowl.
In 2001, Washington fi nished 8-4 overall and second in the Pac-10 with a 6-2 mark, earning a trip to the Holiday Bowl. The Huskies faced fi ve teams ranked in the fi nal AP Poll that season, winning three of those games.
In 2000, Neuheisel led the Huskies to an 11-1 record, a fi rst-place fi nish in the Pac-10 and a victory in the 2001 Rose Bowl. It was a year of great comebacks as Washington trailed in eight of its 11 wins and recorded fi ve straight fourth-quarter comebacks. It marked the fi rst time Washington had won 10 games since 1991 and the school’s fi rst Rose Bowl title since that same season.
In 1999, his fi rst season in Seattle, Washington fi nished 7-5 but fi nished second in the Pac-10, earning a trip to the Holiday Bowl. Neuheisel became the fi rst coach in school history to lead a Husky team to a bowl berth in his fi rst season.
During his four seasons (1995-98) as head coach at the University of Colorado, Neuheisel won 33 of 47 games (.702) and won all three bowl appearances. In his fi nal season, Colorado fi nished 8-4, including a 51-43 victory over Oregon in the Aloha Bowl, and the Buffaloes ranked 13th nationally in total defense that year. In 1997, Colorado fi nished 5-6 but still led the Big 12 in passing offense (232.4). Neuheisel then signed a recruiting class that formed the nucleus of Colorado’s 2001 Big 12 championship team.
During the 1996 season, Neuheisel recorded his second straight 10-2 season, including a 33-21 victory over Washington in the Holiday Bowl, and fi nished second in the Big 12 North. The Buffaloes were ranked eighth on both polls and outscored op-ponents 319-199 while setting a school record by winning 10 consecutive road games. That team produced three All-Americans, including Butkus Award winner LB Matt Russell, and averaged 452.1 yards of offense, including 303.5 in the air, while allowing just 315.5 yards to opponents.
Neuheisel’s 20-4 record in his fi rst two seasons were the fi fth most wins at the time for a fi rst-time head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision (Division IA).
In his fi rst season as a head coach (1995), Colorado fi nished fi fth on both major polls. He guided the Buffaloes to a 10-2 record (the best ever by a fi rst-year CU coach) and an appearance in the Cotton Bowl (a 38-6 win over Oregon), becoming the

fi rst rookie Colorado coach to take a team to a bowl game. Following his fi rst season, he signed a recruiting class (February 1996) that was rated No. 2 nationally.
Neuheisel spent the 1994 season as a Colorado assistant coach under Bill McCartney after going to CU from UCLA. That year, Colorado defeated Michigan in Ann Arbor on a last second touchdown play modifi ed on the sideline by Neuheisel.
Neuheisel spent six seasons (1988-93) as an assistant coach at his alma mater. During his fi nal four years he tutored the wide receivers, helping to develop some of UCLA’s all-time great receivers, such as J.J. Stokes, Kevin Jordan and Sean LaChapelle. In 1993, Stokes helped the Bruins reach the Rose Bowl while setting school records with 82 receptions, 1,181 yards (since broken) and 17 touchdowns. LaChapelle made 73 receptions in 1991 and Jordan made 45 as a sophomore in Neuheisel’s last year (1993). In 1990, three Bruins – Scott Miller, Reggie Moore and LaChapelle – all made at least 35 receptions for at least 600 yards.
Neuheisel joined the UCLA staff full-time in 1988 and coached quarterbacks for two seasons, including NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman’s senior year (1988). Aikman earned consensus All-America honors and fi nished third in the Heisman Trophy race, completing a school record 228 passes (since broken) for 2,771 yards, a .644 percentage and a school record 24 touchdowns (since broken). Aikman was the No. 1 selection in the 1989 NFL Draft.
In 1986, he served as a volunteer coach and his major assignment was to teach the offense to a transfer from Oklahoma who had to sit out the 1986 season – Aikman.
The Bruin head coach also played some professional football. In 1987, he played in three games with the San Diego Chargers and started twice. He completed 40 of 59 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown and also ran for a score. Against Tampa Bay, he completed 18 of 22 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown, setting a team record for completion percentage in a game (81.8%).
He also spent two seasons (1984 and 1985) in the United States Football League (USFL), playing with the San Antonio Gunslingers. In his rookie season, he completed 211 of 385 passes (.548) for 2,544 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Neuheisel began his collegiate career at UCLA (1979-83) as a walk-on, holding for place kicker John Lee, and earned the starting quarterback job during his senior season (1983). He led the Bruins to the Pac-10 title after a 0-3-1 start, earning honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors while completing 185 of 267 passes for 2,245 yards and 13 touchdowns. His completion percentage of .693 that season is still a school record. In a classic game against Washington, he completed 25 of 27 passes for a then-NCAA record .926 completion percentage in a 27-24 victory. That mark is still a UCLA record.
In his fi nal game as a Bruin, he overcame food poisoning to lead UCLA to a 45-9 victory against Illinois in the 1984 Rose Bowl. He was named the game’s MVP after throwing for 298 yards and four touchdowns. In 1998, he was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame for his efforts.
During his career, he completed 198 of 290 passes for 2,480 yards and 15 touchdowns and his completion percentage of .683 is also a school record.
Neuheisel earned his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science in 1984. In 1986, while he was tutoring Aikman as a volunteer, he attended law school at USC and earned his degree in May of 1990.
Born February 7, 1961 in Madison, WI, he grew up in Tempe, AZ, attending McClintock High School. He and his wife Susan, a UCLA graduate, have three children, Jerry, Jack and Joe.

Chuck Bullough (Michigan State ’92) - Defensive Coordinator/LinebackersChuck Bullough (BULL-ah), who had fi ve years of NFL coaching experience with the Chicago Bears prior to coming to Westwood, is
completing his fourth season as coach of the Bruin linebackers and his fi rst as the defensive coordinator. In 2009, UCLA ranked second in the Pac-10 in pass defense, third in scoring defense and fourth in total defense. The defense was led by Pac-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year and fi rst-team All-American Brian Price, and included three other fi rst-team all-conference defensive selections.
In 2008, the linebackers played well. Reggie Carter led the team with 83 tackles and three fumble recoveries, while redshirt freshmen Steve Sloan and Akeem Ayers gained valuable experience for the future. Carter’s 20 tackles at BYU were the most by a Bruin since 1989.
The 2007 Bruin defense ranked 14th in the nation in rushing defense (109.2 yards per game) and 29th in total defense (343.23 yds/g). Leading the way for the linebacker group was the foursome of Christian Taylor (third on team in tackles), Kyle Bosworth (5th), Reggie Carter (t-6th) and Aaron Whittington (9th). Taylor ranked second on the team with 12.5 tackles for loss, while Carter was third with a total of 12.0. Bosworth recorded a 19-tackle effort in a game at Washington State.
In 2006, the Bruins tied for ninth in the nation, and for fi rst in the Pac-10 conference, in rushing defense (91.08 yds/g) with a young group of linebackers. Taylor, Carter and Eric McNeal helped to lead the Bruin defense. Taylor ranked second on the team with 83 tackles and fi fth (tied) in the Pac-10 in tackles (1.04/g) for loss and 16th in tackles (6.38/g).McNeal made a game-saving tip and interception against USC to seal a Bruin victory. Carter earned Freshman All-America honors after tallying 48 tackles, including 6.0 for loss.
Bullough came to UCLA from Western Michigan University, where he coached linebackers in 2005. WMU linebacker Ameer Ismail ranked 34th nationally with 8.0 sacks and tied for sixth in the nation with 20.0 tackles for loss. In 2004, Bullough worked as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Lake Forest, IL College.
For the fi ve previous seasons (1999-03), Bullough (BULL-ah) worked on the staff of the Chicago Bears. He assisted with the special teams for the entire fi ve years and also worked with linebackers for three years (1999-01), the defensive line for one season (2002) and defensive backs for one season (2003).
A two-time All-Big Ten selection (fi rst team in 1991 and second in 1990) and second-team All-American linebacker at Michigan State University, he set an MSU single-season record with 175 tackles in 1991. Bullough also led the Spartans in tackles in the 1990 season with a total of 164 and ranks fi fth all-time at the school in total tackles with 391 career stops. He was a member of three bowl championship teams, including the 1987 Rose Bowl squad, and the Spartans won two Big Ten titles during his career (1987 and 1990). Bullough was selected in the eighth round of the 1992 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and had a fi ve-year career in the National Football League. He played for the Miami Dolphins (1993-95) and attended camps with the Eagles (1992) and Indianapolis Colts (1996). He began his coaching career at his alma mater, assisting with defensive backs in 1997 and the offensive line in 1998. A native of East Lansing, Mich., Bullough received a bachelor’s in physical education/exercise science from Michigan State in 1992.
Norm Chow (Utah ’68) - Offensive Coordinator/QuarterbacksNorm Chow, who is considered one of the top offensive coaches in football history, is in his second season as the Bruin offensive coor-
dinator and quarterback coach. In 2009, Kevin Prince enjoyed one of the top seasons ever by a UCLA freshman quarterback. A year ago, Kevin Craft completed 232 passes, the second-highest total in school history.
Chow came to UCLA in January of 2007 from the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, where he had served as offensive coordinator for the previous three years. He is credited with helping quarterback Vince Young’s transition from college to pro football. In 2007, the Titans earned a spot in the NFL playoffs and fi nished the regular season with a record of 10-6.
In 2006, Young, a rookie quarterback from Texas, took over the offense during the fourth week of the season. He led the team to an 8-5 record, earned Rookie of the Year honors (only the second quarterback to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year) and became the fi rst rookie quarterback to play in the Pro Bowl.
Young earned all of the headlines, but it was the running game that drove the offense as the Titans fi nished fi fth in the league in rushing, amassing the sixth highest rushing total in franchise history (2,214 yards) and the highest yards per carry in franchise history (4.7).
In 2005, Chow adapted to the pro game with ease despite an offense that relied on a youthful cast of players and encountered numerous injuries. Tennessee ranked ninth in the NFL in passing and ranked 17th overall in offense. The group of rookie receivers (WR Brandon Jones, WR Roydell Williams, WR Courtney Roby and TE Bo Scaife) became the fi rst quartet of rookie receivers since the 1968 Buffalo Bills to each record at least 20 receptions in a season. Scaife would also establish a new rookie tight end franchise mark for receptions with 37.
Before joining the Titans, Chow spent 32 productive years coaching at the collegiate level, tasting every form of success at that level, including three national titles (BYU, 1984; USC 2003, 2004), tutoring three Heisman Trophy winners (Ty Detmer, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart), participating in 27 bowl games, and three times being named Assistant Coach of the Year. He left an indelible mark on the college game as he worked with many of the NCAA’s top career passing effi ciency leaders. Chow has mentored six fi rst round NFL draft picks (Palmer, Leinart, Philip Rivers, Steve Young, Jim McMahon, Marc Wilson) and one Pro Football Hall of Fame member (Young).
Chow joined the Titans in February of 2005 after spending four seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Southern Califor-nia. At the helm of USC’s offense, Chow directed an attack that ranked in the nation’s top 20 in total offense in each of his fi nal three seasons, tutored two Heisman trophy winning quarterbacks (Palmer in 2002 and Leinart in 2004) and won two national titles. The Trojans were 42-9 during his four seasons, 36-3 in the fi nal three.
In his fi nal season at USC, the Trojans ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense (38.2), seventh in passing effi ciency, 12th in total offense (449.1) and 13th in passing offense (271.7). Quarterback Matt Leinart was the Heisman Trophy winner, Walter Camp Player of the Year, repeated as a fi rst team All-American and was the Pac-10 Co-Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. In 2003, Leinart set Pac-10 season records for touchdown passes (38) and consecutive passes without an interception (212). He also had the highest passing effi ciency rating (164.5) of any USC quarterback in history. USC was fi fth nationally in passing effi ciency and scoring offense, 13th in passing offense (291.6) and 14th in total offense (447.5). The offense set Pac-10 season records with 534 points and by scoring 40-plus points in seven consecutive games.
In 2002, quarterback Carson Palmer won the Heisman Trophy and Unitas Award en route to becoming the NFL’s number one overall selection and the Pac-10’s career leader in passing yards and total offense, while USC led the Pac-10 in total offense and scoring offense. Nation-ally, the offense ranked sixth in passing effi ciency, eighth in passing offense (306.8) and total offense (449.2) and ninth in scoring offense (35.8).
Chow spent the 2000 season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Carolina State. The Wolfpack passing of-fense was ranked 15th nationally (292.6). His quarterback, Philip Rivers, was a Freshman All-American who completed 53.7% (237 of 441) of his passes for 3,054 yards with 25 touchdowns and ranked 12th nationally in total offense (269.9). Rivers is now the starting quarterback for the San Diego Chargers.
Prior to joining the N.C. State staff, Chow spent 27 years (1973-99) at BYU. At various times, he was the Cougars’ assistant head coach, offensive coordinator, co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, receivers coach, recruiting coordinator and graduate assistant (1973 and
5UCLA Football EagleBank Bowl Guide
1974). The Cougars posted a 244-91-3 record during his time in Provo, appeared in 22 bowls and saw 21 offensive players earn All-America honors. In 12 of his 18 years as offensive coordinator at BYU, Chow led the offense to a place in the NCAA’s top 10 in total offense. Chow was with coach LaVell Edwards for all but two (1972 & 2000) of his 29 years at BYU.
Chow began his coaching career as the head coach at Waialua (HI) High, serving for three seasons (1970-72).He was a two-year starter and three-year letterman at guard for Utah (1965-67). In 1967, he earned All-Western Athletic Conference
fi rst team and All-American honorable mention honors. He was selected to Utah’s All-Century Team.In his years of coaching, Chow has garnered numerous accolades, including: the Broyles Award (2002) as the nation’s top assistant coach,
National Assistant Coach of the year (1999) by the American Football Foundation and Athlon (1993), and the NCAA Division 1-A Offensive Coordinator of the Year (1996 & 2002) by American Football Monthly. In 2006, FOX’s Terry Bradshaw named Chow the NFL’s Top Assistant Coach. Additionally, Chow served as the grand marshal of the 2004 Golden Dragon Parade celebrating the Chinese New Year in Los Angeles’ Chinatown in 2004.
A native of Honolulu, Chow and his wife, Diane, have three sons - Carter, Cameron and Chandler and a daughter, Maile.
Frank Gansz, Jr. (Citadel ’85) - Special TeamsFrank Gansz Jr., is in his second season in charge of the UCLA special teams. Gansz, who has an extensive background at the professional
and collegiate levels, was the special teams coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens in 2006 and 2007, coaching with UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel.
This season, placekicker Kai Forbath won the Lou Groza Award and earned several fi rst-team All-America honors, making 26 of 29 fi eld goal attempts, redshirt freshman punter Jeff Locke averaged 44.0 yards per kick and Terrence Austin set school career records in kickoff and punt returns. Forbath was named fi rst-team all-conference, while Locke and Austin were named second-team All-Pac-10. In 2008, Aaron Perez led the Pacifi c-10 Conference in punting (45.2), Forbath tied for the league lead in fi eld goals (19 in 12 games) and Austin set UCLA marks for all-purpose yards (1,878) and kickoff return yards (1,109). UCLA also blocked two punts for touchdowns and one extra point for a defensive conversion.
In 2007, Baltimore placed ninth in the NFL in punt returns (9.7 yards) and 10th in the league in kickoff returns (23.5). In addition, place kicker Matt Stover made 27 of 32 fi eld goals and all 26 PATs. His 27 fi eld goals tied for 10th in the league. In 2006, Stover led NFL kickers with a 93.3% conversion mark, making 28 of 30 fi eld goals, and ranked fourth among all kickers with 121 points. He was named a fi rst alternate for the Pro Bowl. In addition, linebacker Gary Stills led the NFL with 44 special teams tackles, the second most in NFL history, and was also named a Pro Bowl fi rst alternate. Rookie punter Sam Koch produced just three touchbacks, 30 punts inside the 20 (fi fth in NFL). He was second in the league with 12 punts inside the 10.
Gansz, spent the previous fi ve seasons (2001-05) as special teams coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs. During that span, Stills became the Chiefs’ all-time leader in special teams tackles (148) and Dante Hall was named to the Pro Bowl in both 2002 and ’03 as a kick returner and also led the NFL in most kicks for touchdowns (10, six on kickoffs and four on punts). Gansz-led units excelled in blocking punts and kicks, recording four blocked punts from 2001-02 and Kansas City batted away three fi eld goals in two seasons (2002-03). In 2005, the Chiefs’ special teams units ranked fourth in the NFL in average drive start (30.7) and eighth in the league with 1,591 kickoff return yards. Kicker Lawrence Tynes converted two 50-yard FGs for the second time in two years. Hall scored a TD on a kickoff for the fourth straight. In 2004, Hall scored two kickoff return touchdowns for the second straight year and Tynes made two 50-yard FGs in his fi rst NFL season. Kansas City also set single-season franchise records in kickoff returns (75) and yardage (1,820).
In 2003, Gansz’s units excelled, leading the NFL with four special teams touchdowns, as Hall scored two kickoff returns and two punt returns for scores, en route to his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance. Hall became the fi rst player in NFL history to record a score on a kickoff return in four straight games. His touchdown in the divisional playoff game vs. Indianapolis gave him fi ve overall returns on the season. Hall also broke a single-season franchise record with 2,446 combined net yards. Kansas City led the league in both punt return average (16.4) and kick return average (25.4), the fi rst team to do so since Washington in 1995. The 16.4 punt return average broke a 43-year-old team record. In Gansz’ second season with the Chiefs (2002), Hall scored on three kick returns (two punts and one kickoff) to earn his fi rst pro bowl berth. In 2001, the Chiefs blocked two punts and partially blocked a third.
Prior to his tenure in Kansas City, he coached special teams for the Oakland Raiders for two seasons (1998 and 1999), tutoring standouts Desmond Howard, Darrien Gordon and Napoleon Kaufman. He was also coached in the 1999 Senior Bowl.
Gansz spent fi ve seasons (1993-97) as tight ends and special teams coach at the University of Houston, setting a school record for kickoff return average in 1996. His units set another school record with an 87-yard punt return vs. SMU en route to the Conference-USA championship and a trip to the Liberty Bowl vs. Syracuse.
He spent one season (1992) with the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League (NFL Europa). The Knights led the league in punt returns, kickoff returns, kickoff coverage and special team touchdowns (four).
Gansz spent two years (1990-91) as tight ends/special teams coach at West Point, two years at the University of Pittsburgh, coaching spe-cial teams and the offensive line in 1988 and special teams and the secondary in 1989, and one season (1987) as a graduate assistant at Kansas, working with the wide receivers.
Gansz was a four-year defensive back at The Citadel, graduating with a B.A. in history in 1985.
Todd Howard (Texas A&M ’91) - Assoc. Head Coach - Defense / Defensive LineTodd Howard, who possesses both NFL playing and coaching experience, is in his fourth season as UCLA’s defensive line coach and his
fi rst as Associate Head Coach - Defense. This season, junior tackle Brian Price earned fi rst-team All-America honors and recorded 22.5 tackles for loss, the highest total ever by a Bruin lineman. Price, a defensive tackle, was also honored as the Pac-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year.
In 2008, Price earned fi rst-team All-Pac-10 and Sophomore All-America honors and ranked seventh in the Pac-10 with 14.0 tackles for loss. Senior Brigham Harwell was a second-team All-Pac-10 pick (coaches) and Korey Bosworth ranked seventh in the Pac-10 in sacks (7.5), averaging 0.62/g.
In the 2007 campaign, despite numerous injuries along the line, the Bruins fi nished the season ranked 14th in rushing defense (109.2), 29th in total defense (343.23), 29th in scoring defense (22.3) and third in third down conversion defense (29.1%).

HEAD COACHRICK NEUHEISEL*Owns a record of 76-44 in his 10th year as collegiate head coach*Led teams to three Top 10 fi nishes and seven bowl games*Coached three seasons in the National Football League
Rick Neuheisel, who quarterbacked UCLA to vic-tory in the 1984 Rose Bowl and who has compiled a record of 76-44 as a collegiate head coach, is in his second season as his alma mater’s head football coach.
The energetic and personable Neuheisel returned to the collegiate ranks in January of 2008 after spending the previous three seasons in the NFL. In his eight years as a college head coach at the University of Colorado and the University of Wash-ington, he fashioned a record of 66-30, winning at least 10 games on three occasions and fi nishing in the Top 10 three times, while leading his teams to seven bowl games. He was also recognized as one of the nation’s top recruiters during his college coaching days.
Neuheisel spent the 2005-2007 as an assistant coach for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens. He served as quarterbacks coach in 2005 and 2006 and in Janu-ary of 2007, was promoted to offensive coordina-tor/quarterbacks coach.
During his four seasons (1999-2002) as head coach at the University of Washington, Neuheisel led the Huskies to a record of 33-16 (.673) and four bowl games (one Rose Bowl, two Holiday Bowls and one Sun Bowl). His Pac-10 record was 23-9 (.719) and Washington won one league title and fi nished second twice in those four seasons.
In 2000, Neuheisel led the Huskies to an 11-1 re-cord, a fi rst-place fi nish in the Pac-10 and a victory in the 2001 Rose Bowl.
During his four seasons (1995-98) as head coach at the University of Colorado, Neuheisel won 33 of 47 games (.702), including all three bowl appear-ances. His 20-4 record in his fi rst two seasons at Colorado were the fi fth-most wins at the time for a fi rst-time head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivi-sion (Division IA).
Neuheisel spent the 1994 season as a Colorado assistant coach under Bill McCartney after going to CU from UCLA.
Neuheisel spent six seasons (1988-93) as an as-sistant coach at his alma mater. During his fi nal four years he tutored the wide receivers, helping to de-velop some of UCLA’s all-time great receivers, such as J.J. Stokes, Kevin Jordan and Sean LaChapelle.
Neuheisel joined the UCLA staff full-time in 1988 and coached quarterbacks for two seasons, includ-ing NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman’s senior year (1988). Aikman earned consensus All-America honors and fi nished third in the Heisman Trophy race, completing a school-record 228 passes (since broken) for 2,771 yards, a .644 percentage and a school-record 24 touchdowns (since broken). Aik-man was the No. 1 selection in the 1989 NFL Draft.
In 1986, he served as a volunteer coach and his major assignment was to teach the offense to a transfer from Oklahoma who had to sit out the 1986 season – Aikman.
Neuheisel began his collegiate career at UCLA (1979-83) as a walk-on, holding for place kicker John Lee, and earned the starting quarterback job dur-ing his senior season (1983). In his fi nal game as a Bruin, he overcame food poisoning to lead UCLA to a 45-9 victory against Illinois in the 1984 Rose Bowl. He was named the game’s MVP after throwing for 298 yards and four touchdowns.
(2007-9th), Fresno State (2008-25th), USC (2008-5th) and Oregon (2009-13th).

UCLA has drawn at least 70,000 fans in 12 of its last 20 home games, including 77,819 this season versus Oregon on Oct. 10 and 72,924 versus Washington on Nov. 7.

THE OFFENSE QUARTERBACKS — Redshirt freshman KEVIN PRINCE (#14) became just the
second Bruin freshman (redshirt) quarterback to open a season under center, and the fi rst to win a season-opener, when he took the fi rst snap in the San Diego State game. On the night, he completed 18 of 29 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions. In the fi rst half, he completed 12 of 16 passes for 140 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He connected on nine of 11 passes on fi rst down and seven of 12 on third down.
At Tennessee, Prince became the fi rst UCLA freshman quarterback to win his fi rst road start since Drew Olson won at Washington in 2002. He completed 11 of 23 passes for 101 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown pass to Chane Moline, and did not throw an interception. An x-ray examination the day following the Tennessee game, on Sept. 13, indicated that Prince had suffered a fractured jaw. He had the jaw wired close to assist in the healing process and missed the Kansas State and Stanford games.
He returned to the starting lineup against Oregon and completed 13 of 25 passes for 81 yards. He had one interception which was returned for a touchdown. He also netted 22 yards on the ground. Against California, he completed 21 of 41 passes for 311 yards -- all career highs at the time. He had three completions
of at least 29 yards, including a 48-yard pass to Logan Paulsen. He produced six scores - two touchdowns and four fi eld goals. He had one interception late in the game that was returned for a touchdown after he had moved the Bruins from their own 27-yard line to Cal’s 34-yard line. His 332 yards of total offense rank fourth among UCLA freshmen quarterbacks while his 311 passing yards ranked No. 7. At Arizona, he completed seven of 15 passes for 60 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
At Oregon State, he passed for a career-high 323 yards and two touchdowns, completing 22 passes on 34 attempts. In the fourth quarter, he rallied the Bruins from a 19-3 defi cit. He engineered touchdown drives of 70 and 94 yards and threw scoring passes of 58 yards to Nelson Rosario (8:06 left) and seven yards to Taylor Embree on fourth-and-seven with 2:06 remaining. He also passed for a pair of two-point conversions. In the fi nal quarter, he completed nine of 13 passes for 198 yards and the two touchdowns. The 58-yard scoring toss to Rosario is the longest completion of his career.
Prince was on fi re against Washington. In the fi rst half, he completed 13 of 17 passes for 212 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His TD pass to Cory Harkey came on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. However, with 5:07 remaining in the half, he was injured on a helmet-to-helmet hit at the end of an eight-yard run and did not return. It was later determined that he suffered a concussion. He completed fi ve passes of at least 15 yards prior to exiting the game.
At Washington State, he recorded his third 300-yard passing game. He completed a career-high 27 passes on 40 attempts for 314 yards and one touchdown. He also led the Bruins in rushing with 76 yards, including a 68-yard touchdown scamper. It was the longest run by a Bruin quarterback since John Sciarra had a 71-yard non-scoring run against Tennessee in 1971.
Prince completed passes to eight different receivers and engineered fi ve touch-down drives - three of at least 70 yards. He threw a 27-yard scoring pass to Taylor Embree on UCLA’s fi rst offensive play of the game, following an interception by Akeem Ayers. On the day, he had three completions of at least 25 yards. His 390 yards total offense rank No. 2 among Bruin freshmen (Tommy Maddox holds the record with 445 vs. USC in 1990). It also ranks No. 9 (tied) on single-game total offense list.
Against Arizona State, he completed 15 of 31 passes for 161 yards, including one for 35 yards to Nelson Rosario. He also added 42 net yards rushing for 203 total yards. At USC, he completed 10 of 22 passes for 90 yards and two interceptions prior to leaving the game in the third quarter with a sprained right shoulder. He also ran for 34 yards on seven attempts.
On the year, Prince completed 157 of 277 passes (56.7%) for 1,829 yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions in his 10 games. He is just the second freshman quarterback in UCLA history to pass for over 300 yards three times in a season (Tommy Maddox, 1990) and his 323 yards vs. OSU rank No. 5 on UCLA’s freshman passing list.The 323 yards vs. OSU also rank 28th on UCLA’s single-game list and are the most since Patrick Cowan threw for 329 at California in 2006. He is also third on the team in rushing (165 yards).
Prince ranks eighth in the Pac-10 in passing effi ciency (110.9) and total offense (199.4) and ninth in passing yards (182.9). He was co-offensive winner of UCLA’s John Boncheff Jr. Memorial Award for Rookie of the Year.
Prince was named the starting quarterback a few days following the completion of 2009 Spring Practice. In 2008, he competed for the backup role at quarterback and dressed for each contest, but did not see game action.
Prince earned three letters in football at Crespi HS in Encino, CA. He was injured in the fi rst quarter of the fi rst game in the 2007 season. Prince missed the remainder of the 2007 high school season after undergoing knee surgery. As a junior, he completed 112 of 197 passes for 1,422 yards and 12 touchdowns and fi ve interceptions.

Game 5 - #13 Oregon 24, UCLA 10October 10, 2009 at the Rose Bowl
Game Notes - The Bruins suffered their second loss of the year as the Oregon Ducks defeated UCLA in the Rose Bowl 24-10. UCLA was able to hold the Ducks scoreless in the fi rst half, but Oregon scored three touchdowns in the fi rst fi ve min-utes of the third quarter to seal a Duck win. Oregon returned a kickoff for 100 yards to open up the second half, then picked off Kevin Prince, who had returned to action after missing the last two games with a fractured jaw, and returned it for a touchdown for their second score of the game. Prince fumbled on the ensuing possession, giving Oregon the ball at the 50-yard line and, eventually, another seven points. Kyle Bos-worth led the defense with nine tackles. Akeem Ayers interceped an Oregon pass in the endzone for UCLA’s only touchdown of the game.

Neuheisel reflects on globe-spanning Coaches Tour By Jon Gold, Staff Writer Updated: 11/25/2009 10:56:05 PM PST
Rick Neuheisel is a mess. It's the tail end of an eight-day, continent- jumping, energy-sapping 2009 Coaches Tour t hat has whisked him from St. Louis to Germany, from Turkey to Iraq, from Kuwait to Djibouti, Africa, and finally has him in the last destination, Rhoda, Spain. His body aches, thanks to a heavy Kevlar vest dragging his small frame down during the more dangerous legs of the trip. His neck throbs, courtesy of difficult sleeping conditions, though he now says he's lucky to have even gotten a single wink. Fatigue is setting in, and the effects of the trip are finally hitting the ever-energetic 48-year- old, whosounds like he's 38, looks like he's 28 and actslike he's 18. Robbing Neuheisel of his energy is like taking the chisel from Michelangelo. It doesn't just take away the fire in his eye, the ability to connect with a quarterback or an offensive lineman or a
dentist or a stonemason, but it saps him of his lifeblood. Eight days into the May 28-June 4 trip to visit U. S. soldiers along with six other prominent college football coaches, a trip that has brought him to hospitals and war zones, to dirt lots that have gone from battlefields to ballfields, Neuheisel meets the captain of a naval base in Rhoda. Throughout the trip, all he'd seen was orange and red - orange for Texas' Mack Brown, red for OhioState's Jim Tressel, two other coaches on the trip - and he needed to see some blue and gold. The plane touches down, the coaches deboard, they climb some stairs to get into the base, and the captain greets him in a UCLA hat. "It turns out, he was the guy who, in our first game against the Trojans at the Rose Bowl in 1982, got up on the crossbar," Neuheisel says, breaking into a wide smile. "There's a picture of when Karl Morgan sacked Scott Tinsley - no time on the clock, they're going for two to win the game - the crowd rushes the field and one guy gets on the goal post. That was this guy." It took Neuheisel eight days, seven countries and thousands of miles to find him. Maybe even to find himself. Neuheisel insists the Coaches Tour did not change him.

This is not a man who needed changing. Some visit the American soldiers in the Middle East and come back different people. They see the soldier missing a limb or the 52-year-old father who hasn't even met his baby girl, and they plead to change their ways, to all of a sudden support the war or the troops or the country itself. An optimist by nature, Neuheisel did not need the trip to make him feel a sense of duty. The trip needed him. It needed his energy and his joy, his lust for life that borders on the obscene. Riding in the back of a military bus alongside Brown, Tressel, Ole Miss' Houston Nutt, Air Force's Troy Calhoun, Wake Forest's Jim Grobe and former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, Neuheisel busted out his guitar and belted some Buffett. "You go into the trip and you don't know what to expect, but a person's true colors come out in those conditions, in that schedule," said UCLA football intern David Raih, who accompanied Neuheisel on the trip. "What I realized is that as the trip got tougher and more difficult, and the opportunity to get negative arose with each day, he tried even harder to be more positive and more dedicated. He was the guy - and I'm sure the other coaches would agree - keeping things light: telling jokes, patting guys on the back,
laughing and laughing some more." When the coaches weren't visiting troops or telling their own versions of war stories, they talked football. Of course they talked football. "You can't put a bunch of barbers in a room and not talk about cutting hair," Neuheisel said. "There was certainly a lot of football talk, no question. But I think more than anything was the sense of how fortunate we all felt to have the jobs we all have." After all, they were on this trip because of those jobs. They were there to take the soldier's minds off war and loneliness and despair. They were there to bring the game to men and women who get to see so little of it, who hope for a glimpse of SportsCenter or for a newspaper clipping in the mail. They were there to coach, too. "Those games were blood-and-guts games," Neuheisel said of the flag-football game that broke out in front of the coaches. "The Army vs. Air Force game that I saw; the halftime speech that was given by the Army coach blew mine out of the water. It's passion - he got after his guys. It's a huge lift to have some measure of distraction, some measure of deviation from the `Groundhog Day' that can become a part of the routine."

Even in the midst of the desert, sandstorms almost cancelling the game, Neuheisel couldn't escape his own mind. He thought of blitz schemes and pass patterns, of the perfect route to take advantage of that overeager PFC who took just one too many steps upfield. "He's never not thinking about football," Raih said. "The next best play, a way to beat a defense, a way to improve this program - he's never not thinking about that. There was this trooper with the army, Private Wheeler, from Georgia, a woman. Neuheisel's out there reading up the defense of a flag- football team, trying to draw up a play so she can get a sack. It doesn't matter if he's talking to Brian Price or Private Wheeler, he's going to try to find the best way to do it." The trip was not all fun and games, though. The coaches visited military hospitals, and during one such visit, Neuheisel met a soldier who was the lone survivor after his military vehicle was hit by an IED. For the first time on the trip - maybe the first time in his life - Neuheisel was cautious, unsure of how to approach a situation. The doctors told him to be quiet, that he should avoid any sudden or loud noises.
"You walk in just on pins and needles, worried about what you're going to see," Neuheisel says. He trails off, looks off into the distance and shakes his head. But then his eyes sparkle. "How fast the kid lit up wanting to talk ball, how important it was to him," Neuheisel said. "It made you feel good about how important college football can be. But it also made you realize how fleeting life can be." If anything, that is what Neuheisel took from this trip: that he wields considerable power in his position as UCLA head football coach, but that power means nothing if not for even the basic freedoms. "There was a moment when we were flying from Baghdad to Kuwait, to change planes to go from Kuwait to Djibouti, Africa, and we got on the plane with a whole group of guys and women who were going home," Neuheisel said, breaking into a wide smile, "and the excitement of watching them get on, knowing they did their stint and were going back - and we all have this picture of what the troops look like. You've got men, you've got women, fresh-faced kids and veterans, a vast array. Not all just kids. "They started singing the song, `Na, Na, Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Goodbye,' and it gave me goosebumps. They're saying goodbye to this chapter of their life and going home, and the excitement of

Drawing on family | UCLA’s Brian Price plays as a ‘quiet storm,’ striving to make his mother proud
BY RON BELLAMY The Register-Guard
Posted to Web: Thursday, Oct 8, 2009 12:53AM Appeared in print: Thursday, Oct 8, 2009, page C3
The headlines that followed defensive tackle Brian Price to UCLA didn’t tell the whole story, but they told a lot.
One talked about how Price “escaped killing fields of LA to play football in Westwood.” Another said “UCLA recruit keeps character intact despite the murder of both brothers.”
So there’s a tragic backstory to the life of the highly regarded UCLA junior, who faces Oregon on Saturday afternoon in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The brother to whom he was closest, Eddie, was shot and killed in 1998 at age 18, in a wrong-place, wrong-time drive-by after he’d come to the aid of a woman being harassed at a bus stop. Brother Damon was murdered in 2003, at age 24, while getting his life back together upon being released from prison.
“A tug-at-your-heart story,” said coach Rick Neuheisel, who has learned of Price’s story since becoming UCLA’s head coach after Price’s freshman year.
The recruiting highlight video for Price, showing his best plays at Crenshaw High School, played to the music of “Soul Survivor.”
“It made me a better person,” the 20-year-old Price said, of the impact of those tragedies on his life. “It made me a better man. I had to grow up fast.
“Everything happens for a reason. I have six beautiful sisters and two great parents, and I have four nephews, two that I see all the time, and they remind me of my brothers so much it’s like I never really lost them.
“Losing them, it was hard on my family, but it brought us closer. I always think of them when I’m on the playing field, or when I’m not on the playing field, and how much my mom’s been through in her lifetime. I just want to make her proud and happy. I never want to put too much stress on her, or any stress at all, so I just always wanted to do the right things.”
Page 1 of 3Print Story
10/8/2009http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/21232912-41/story.csp?print=true
Gifted at drawing, Price found himself releasing his emotions through pencil, paint andpaper.
“I don’t really talk about my problems,” he said. “I just keep everything bottled in. So I just always drew. When I had a problem, I’d just draw instead of talking about it.”
And so it’s interesting that Price said he hasn’t been drawing much lately. There’s football and school — he’s a history major, putting aside an earlier plan to major in architecture because of the time constraints of football — and he’s enjoying college life at UCLA.
“I want to finish school and have a degree, something to rely on to make my mom proud,” he said. “Having her son graduate from college is real big.”
Said Neuheisel: “I think he’s going to be very successful both in the football world, but also after football.”
When he came to UCLA, Price talked about going “three-and-out” to the NFL; last April, he said he’d return for his senior year, no matter how this season goes.
“Right now, I’m just focusing on school and football, and focusing on getting UCLA back to black-tie events, as coach Neuheisel would say,” Price said. “Right now, I’m just thanking God that I have another opportunity to play each week. You never know when the opportunity will be gone, so I’m just enjoying the experience while it lasts.
“At the end of the season, I don’t know where I’ll be, but I’m just taking it one game at a time.”
Neuheisel, who has coached in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, said there’s no question that Price “has the talent to play on Sundays,” and Price says that’s his “dream.”
“Not everybody is going to make it, but I look forward to it,” Price said. “I use it as motivation to get there. I want to go down as one of the greatest, so I think about that all the time. I’m not cocky or arrogant. I don’t say much. I just go play on Saturdays and let it all out. … I’m a quiet storm. I don’t say nothing during the game.”
As a sophomore, the 6-foot-2, 300-pound Price was named a first-team all-Pac-10 by the league’s coaches after leading the Bruins with 14 tackles for loss, seventh in the league. He entered this season as a preseason all-American and on “watch lists” for the Bednarik Award and Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s best defensive player, for the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman and for the Rotary Lombardi Award as the nation’s top lineman.
The numbers so far: Seven tackles for loss in four games to rank second in the Pac-10 and tie for 15th in the NCAA. In his last 11 games, dating to the Oregon contest last year, Price has 36 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 51/2 sacks.
“He’s played well,” Neuheisel said. “As is the case with a lot of players, you just look for that level of consistency. But he’s certainly getting a lot of attention from opponents,
Page 2 of 3Print Story
10/8/2009http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/21232912-41/story.csp?print=true
too. They know where he is and they’re finding ways to try to put two guys on him to try to neutralize his effectiveness. But that frees up other guys.”
The Bruins come into Saturday’s game after suffering their first loss of the season, at Stanford, and remembering a 31-24 loss to the Ducks in Eugene last year, with the clinching touchdown a 69-yard run by LeGarrette Blount with 2:22 remaining.
“Cold,” Price recalled of the 52-degree weather. “It was real cold and we missed a lot of tackles that game. … As I recall, I missed a tackle on that long run that Blount had. That’s what I really remember.”
Figure that Saturday, it will be a lot warmer in the Rose Bowl, and that Price will seek to become the nightmare in Oregon’s memories.

UCLA's Reggie Carter is well aware of his mother's sacrifices
The linebacker, whom teammates look up to for his gregarious and outspoken nature, is grateful for what his single mother has taught him.
By Chris Foster
September 1, 2009
UCLA linebacker Reggie Carter sits in front of his locker on game day, his ears filling with lyrics and his eyes filling with tears. His teammates see the intensity build. I gotta thank the Lord that you made me There are no words that can express how I feel Ya never kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate how ya raised me And all the extra love that you gave me Carter tries to live every day as he was taught by his mother, but game days are when the Tupac Shakur song "Dear Mama" really lights a fuse. "It's about the struggles he and his mama went through," Carter says. "It's the song for me." From the time Carter was 2, Selena Adway raised him as a single parent, and she still rises at 3:30 a.m. to catch a bus to the first of her two steady jobs. Mornings, she provides in-home care for a man with cerebral palsy. Afternoons are spent at United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles. For months, Adway has been working every Saturday too instead of her usual every-other-Saturday schedule. It's the only way she could arrange to have game days off this fall to watch her Reggie. Somewhere along the line, the son picked up his mother's work ethic. And also a plan for repaying her. "I hear players who say they will sit out when they're offered $10 million," Carter says, incredulous. "I have never seen that kind of money. If I'm lucky enough to go [in the NFL draft] on the first day, sure I'll get a house, a car, some clean clothes. But I'm going to take care of my mother. That is what will make me happy." Carter, who is 6 feet 1, 240 pounds, showed his pro potential last season, leading UCLA with 83 tackles, and standing out as one of the few players who didn't give up in an embarrassing 59-0 loss to Brigham

Young. He recorded a school-record 20 tackles in that game. "Reggie Carter is an old-fashioned football player," UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel says. "He doesn't look old-fashioned. He has the style and sense that personifies Los Angeles. But he loves the trenches. He's not looking to make big plays; he's looking to make every play." Teammates gravitate to Carter's gregarious personality and outspoken nature and fall in line when he talks about his expectations for this season. Despite a 4-8 record a year ago, he passionately predicts that the Bruins will contend for a championship in the Pacific 10 Conference. Go figure. "Defense wins championships," he explains, "and I expect us to have the conference's No. 1 defense." Any opinion to the contrary is summarily dismissed. "He's strong-willed," Neuheisel says. "I think you better ask his mother about that." Carter's talk-till-you-drop debating style is well known around the UCLA football team -- "I've seen him sometimes talk the coaching staff out of doing things," senior cornerback Alterraun Verner says. Around home? Not so much. "He likes to talk about all the times I whupped him," Adway says, laughing. "I think I can count on one hand the number of times I actually did." She had other ways of getting her message across. "When I was in eighth grade, I barely had a 2.0 grade-point average," says Carter, who is on schedule to graduate with a degree in sociology next spring. "Mama told me I couldn't go to football practice. I told her that I was going anyway. She said, 'Go, but I'll call the police and have them bring you right back here.' "There was never a quarter at Crenshaw [High] where I wasn't on the honor roll." Yes, Adway knows a thing or two about will. When she was pregnant with Reggie, she was told she might lose her baby or that he might have Down syndrome. But she kept the faith. Carter was born at UCLA Medical Center in 1987, a short run from where he now practices. He was six weeks early, weighed only 4 pounds 13 ounces and required an extended hospital stay. But, Adway says, "I believed he'd be OK and I thank God. Nothing happens without Him." Adway and Carter lived alone but were watched over by a neighborhood filled with aunts, uncles and grandparents all living around Sixth Street and Vernon. "I'd come home from football practice at 7 p.m. and stop at every house to talk and eat," Carter says. "I'd walk in our house at 9:30 p.m. and Mama would ask me, 'Where have you been?' "I had people drop me off at home and they'd say, 'Where do you live? I've dropped you off at three different houses on this street.' "

But Carter always knew home was where his mother was. "She'd get up at 3:30 a.m., but before she left she would make me breakfast," Carter says. "Looking back, that was crazy. I'm 16, 17 years old. If I don't know how to get up and fix myself something to eat,there's something wrong with me. But she wanted to make sure I had something to eat." Adway says she never worried about Carter in a neighborhood that gangs patrolled, trusting the lessons she imparted. "I never got in with a bad crowd," Carter says. "I knew the guys who were bad. But it was better to know them than to not know them because they kind of watched your back." Carter carries the reputation as a big hitter on the football field, but his aggression doesn't come from any kind of caged rage. "My mama taught me growing up, never say the word 'hate,' " he says. "I'm 22 years old and I can't remember saying I hate someone. I have love for everyone." On game days, though, he allows, "I have love for them, I just want to hit them real hard. "I guess you can call that tough love. Call them love taps . . . hard ones." Those "taps" are inspired by a familiar before-game beat. "You'll see him pregame, listening to that song," free safety Rahim Moore says. "You'll see the tears in his eyes and you just know he's going to come ready. "Look out."

UCLA kicker Forbath gaining from offensive woes By Jon Gold, Staff Writer Updated: 10/22/2009 03:08:42 AM PDT
Kai Forbath is caught in that awkward spot between self and team. Self: Seventeen field goals, tops in the country, each successful kick bringing him closer to the riches and fame of the NFL. Or, at least, the riches and fame an NFL kicker can hope to attain. Team: UCLA's struggling red-zone offense, a team that simply needs to punch it into the end zone rather than settle for three points. Every time Forbath steps back to kick a field goal, he goes through his same routine. Find his place, find his footing, picture the target, zero in on the back of the ball. Every time Forbath steps back to kick, he realizes his offense has just failed. "Obviously I enjoy kicking field goals, but at the same time, when our team is scoring most of our points off them, it's not a good thing," the junior kicker out of Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks said. "I think we just need to find a balance there. Find a way to get the ball in the end zone more, kick more PATs."
Forbath has certainly made the most of his opportunities.
Through 31 career games, Forbath has 61 career field goals on 70 attempts, including 17 of 18 this year.
He has become automatic, a pillar of consistency, just about the only Bruin who can be counted on without fail, without worry.
There has even been a little chatter of Forbath leaving UCLA a year early to go to the NFL, a rare leap for college kickers.
"His body of work speaks for itself," said UCLA special teams coach Frank Gansz Jr., who spent nearly a decade coaching in the NFL, most recently with Baltimore. "But the next level is going to be a lot different. He's going to go in there and compete against guys who are also really good. The last kid who was here was an All-American, Justin Medlock; he's not even in the league, I don't think.
"Kai definitely has the tools to play at the next level, but then you've got to go do it."
This season, he has improved on the tiniest of details, despite missing only three of 22 kicks last year. His speed and accuracy are up, certainly, but that is to be expected after another offseason worth of training with renowned kicking instructor - and former UCLA kicker - Chris Sailer.
However, Forbath is getting more height on the

ball, his rhythm has gotten crisper, his follow- through more consistent. Those hours spent in February and May and in July with long-snapper Christian Yount and holder Danny Rees sure helped. "A lot of preparation in the offseason; I worked with Christian and Danny all offseason on getting our timing and operation to be smooth so it's the same thing every time," Forbath said. "I also spent a lot of time alone on my technique trying to get stronger and more consistent. I think it's starting to pay off." The biggest improvement in Forbath's game, he said, is the consistency of his swing. A kicker's leg swing is like a batter's in baseball, an outside hitter's in volleyball. Every step leads to a follow-through. Ask any batter and they'll tell you they feel the slightest misstep in their swing. Any outside hitter will explain how his very first step affects the smallest details. For Forbath, his success this season can be broken down on film: Every converted kick he has made this year has looked like the previous one. "It's just a lot of little adjustments I've had to make on my swing," Forbath said. "I'm getting to the point where I feel comfortable that I'm doing the same thing every time. My freshman year, I had success, but my swing was different every
kick. It'd look totally different. I've gotten to the point now where my swing looks pretty much the same on every kick.
"That's where you get the confidence and consistency."
And then there's the one miss.
Tennessee, Neyland Stadium, end of second quarter. Time ticks off, three seconds left, 51 yards. Off.
"I actually crushed that ball, it went halfway up the uprights," Forbath said, shaking his head. "If it was a couple yards back I think it would've hooked back in. I think about it. I didn't follow through my target like I should have. But I didn't miss-hit it. I hit it good."
That's where Forbath has come this season.
He is like a precise scale measuring to the tiniest amount. The kick was off and he knew it.
There went his season goals.
Lofty goals.
"I set goals for myself to be perfect this year," Forbath said. "I felt a lot of my misses last year were bad. I have one miss this year, and it was close, but I wish I could take it back. There's no reason to have any misses I've had. They're so stupid. I wish I could take them back.
"The goal? Don't miss."

By MARCIA C. SMITH 2009-11-21 19:54:25
PASADENA -- The final UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl for the player known as "The Train" was as Shout-it-out dirty as he had always wished it would be: grass stains on the shoulders, sweaty handprints on his No. 42 jersey, clods of mud on his achy kneecaps and red scratches on his biceps.
In the Bruins' 23-13 victory on Saturday over Arizona State, Chane Moline, the senior fullback from Mission Viejo High who has spent most of his Bruin career setting blocks and clearing paths for everybody else, got his chance to be the featured tailback.
Finally.
The sturdy 6-foot-1, 247-pound didn't slash through the defense with speed; he slugged and stiff-armed his way around tacklers. He didn't cut past and juke out tacklers with nimble toes; he stomped and towed two, sometimes three, Sun Devils on his hips as if he were a John Deere tractor and they were his plow.
Chane "The Train" Moline didn't blow by defenders; he railroaded them, chugging and crushing and collecting a career-high and team-best 84 yards on a career-high 25 carries. These were 84 bone-throttling, lawn-mowing and clock-burning yards of heavy lifting through a Sun Devils' defense that entered the game ranked sixth in the nation.
"It felt nice, for my last game at the Rose Bowl, to be a big part of this offense and come through for this team," said Moline, walking off the field. "We won and I played!"
This was remarkable for the relative tortoise who has lived quietly among the backfield of Bruin hares.
"I'm not the quickest, fastest guy out there or that strong of an athlete," said the slower, steadier Moline, "but I try to play to my advantages like my good vision and Trevor (Theriot) in front of me."
Moline's legs weren't even mentioned at the beginning of the season by running backs Coach Wayne Moses, who planned on going with a ground crew of Christian Ramirez, Derrick Coleman, Jonathan Franklin, Milton Knox and Damien Thigpen.
After all, Moline had 30 carries all of last season. Until two games ago, Moline had carried the ball only four times for 11 yards and one touchdown this season.
But last Saturday against Washington State, Moline bulldozed three times for 25 yards and three touchdowns. That powerful performance had the engineers behind the Bruins offense thinking that maybe they should have taken "The Train" after all.
"We've been using him in bits and pieces in some big-back stuff, goal-line stuff, and we just decided to give him some chances to do it on an every down basis," said Coach Rick

Neuheisel. "There are some of you who will say, 'Why haven't you done that the whole time?' and the answer is 'I don't know why other than we keep looking for the right combination.'"
Earlier this week Bruin offensive coordinator Norm Chow met with Moline and Trevor Theriot, the former Newport Harbor High and Bruin fifth-year fullback, and told them to expect more work in the backfield.
Chow considers Moline "the most mature and most consistent (of the running backs), and at this point in time, our only concern is to try and win a football game. We have to hold on to the ball and we had to do some things to not turn it over. Obviously our young guys were struggling a little bit."
Coleman was the only listed running back to carry the ball on Saturday. He rushed twice for two yards, so Chow returned to Moline to carry out the Bruins "conservative" gameplan and burn out the second-half clock.
Moline swung around the right end for his long, lumbering gain of 12 yards in a Bruin fourth-quarter scoring drive that boosted their lead to 23-7. With 11 minutes and 41 seconds left in the game, and the Bruins ahead, 23-13, Moline got seven consecutive carries for 32 yards and, most importantly, ate 5 minutes and 32 seconds off the clock.
Once, Moline shoved his arm against the sternum of linebacker Vontaze Burfict to push for nine yards and a Bruin first down. Then he charged between linemen for a 5-yard gain and later carried defensive back Jarrell Holman like a backpack for a 12-yard pick up.
"It was just going back to old-style power football," said Theriot. "The Train's a great short-yardage guy who can run and break tackles and is hard to knock down because he's a surfer. He's got those hips and that balance."
Moline is now savoring his best games, which, in his career, have come last. The next stop for "The Train": USC.

UCLA's Verner is answer man The senior cornerback has provided insight to help the younger Bruins on defense. By AL BALDERAS The Orange County Register LOS ANGELES -- Alterraun Verner is what you would call a go-to guy. When UCLA's defense is in need of a turnover, the Bruins' veteran cornerback is a good bet to get one. When the Bruins' up-and-coming young cornerbacks have a question about schemes, alignments, game film, or even life, Verner is usually the one they turn to. "If you have a question about anything, you could probably ask Verner," said freshman cornerback Sheldon Price, who filled a similar role during his senior year at Bishop Amat High School.
Price was picking Verner's brain before the Kansas State game on Sept. 19. That game marked Price's first start.
One week earlier, Courtney Viney was doing the same thing.
He was preparing for his first start of the season, against Tennessee. Viney had been thrust into the role as starting cornerback when Aaron Hester went down with a cracked bone in his leg.
"Verner has provided insight on a number of things," Viney said. "He's like another coach from the aspect that you can go to him when you need something. He's always there to give advice. Moreover, Verner has been in the program and he knows the defense inside and out."
Coaching, teaching, advising and basically helping others is nothing new to Verner. He's been doing it for as long as he can remember.
Years ago he helped out a friend in similar fashion and became hooked when he saw the results.
"Seeing the joy out of that person, seeing how happy they were that my advice actually helped, made me like that so I just kept doing it," Verner said. "I think it's a trait I've always had. It wasn't just with football. If there was

something in the classroom or with another sport, if I was playing basketball or running track, if I see an area for me to give advice to someone else, that gives me as much satisfaction as me actually performing." When it comes to football, Verner is the right person to follow. He has 11 career interceptions – three this season – and is on the watch list for the Lott Trophy. The trophy is awarded to the defensive player who as the biggest IMPACT (integrity, maturity, performance, academics, community and tenacity) on and off the field. He's holding his own in both venues. Verner is majoring in Mathematics-Applied Science and has been on the Director's Honor Roll four times. Though he has aspirations of playing in the NFL, he realizes that football isn't something he'll be able to do forever. "I know football is not that long, so schooling is something that is very important," he said. "I know that's what I ultimately have to fall back on to support my family and to survive after football. All of this hard work is going to pay off later." Some of it is paying off now. Verner employs his love for math with his approach to football. At this level, and at such a vital
position, he'll take whatever advantage he can.
"In essence, it has its parts in football," he explained. "Numbers and things always run through my mind. When you see the ball in the air, how long is it going to be there, and can you get there fast enough? Things like that.
"That tells me if I can take a chance of getting the pick, or if I have to play it safe to make the tackle or just bat the ball down. All of that dictates that."
After Sunday's bye, the Bruins have nine more games on the schedule, starting with Stanford on Oct. 3. Verner will have a lot more opportunities to keep mixing math with football. He'll also time to continue being a teammate, a friend, a counselor and an advisor.
"Anytime I say anything, they're fully paying attention and trying to grasp what I'm telling them," Verner said of his younger teammates. "I'm willing, anytime, to talk to them. I tell them that if they have a question or if they see something from the field and they want to talk to me, just come up to me. That's making the team better and that's going to make them good players too. I'd like to see them all succeed."

UCLA's Akeem Ayers goes on instinct
The Bruins linebacker has a way of locating the ball, a trait that will come in handy against Oregon.
By Chris Foster
October 9, 2009
Even the best-laid plans are subject to the whim of UCLA sophomore linebacker Akeem Ayers. Stanford went with a safe-and-sane pass to receiver Chris Owusu, who was wrapped up by cornerback Alterraun Verner for a short gain. But Ayers swooped in from the left, knocked the ball free and recovered the fumble. Then there is the to-Ayers-is-human side. UCLA had San Diego State stopped on the seven-yard line when a third-down pass fell incomplete. Except that Ayers grabbed a chunk of jersey on the play, giving the Aztecs a second shot, which produced a touchdown. Such growing pains are easy to endure. "You look at Akeem, and he may not always be in the right spot, but he finds a way to get his hands on the ball," senior linebacker Reggie Carter said. "That's great because you can teach scheme, but you can't teach that ability." So though Ayers might sometimes cause discomfort for defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough, he can be even more painful for opponents. "I don't know if he is a finished product yet, but you know what, some of that is why he's good," Coach Rick Neuheisel said. "There is constantly the effort to keep him disciplined and playing within the defense, but we also benefit from some of that instinct he carries with him." Such instinct could serve the Bruins well this week. Oregon, with its sleight-of-hand spread offense, comes to the Rose Bowl on Saturday, meaning, "You have to get on your toes and stay on your toes," free safety Rahim Moore said. "And you have to tackle." It puts Ayers in his element.

A year ago, Ayers made his second career start against the Ducks. He finished with six tackles, including a sack, chasing down Jeremiah Masoli, Oregon's nimble quarterback, from behind. "I just watched the film of that game," Carter said. "On the sack, Akeem fell down, got up and still caught Masoli. "Game time comes, your street ball instincts can take over. You want to just follow the ball. He may not always follow the guide because he wants to be around the ball." That has always been Ayers' way, pulling off such ad-libs by tapping into his raw skills. He has the size of a defensive end (6 feet 4, 252 pounds) and the speed of a receiver (he averaged nearly 20 yards per catch and scored nine touchdowns as a senior at Verbum Dei High). Against Kansas State, which also ran the spread offense, Ayers had five solo tackles -- including two sacks and another tackle for a loss. With UCLA leading by a touchdown in the fourth quarter, he picked up one of those sacks on a first-down play that started the Wildcats on a three-and-out series. Of course, the difference in Kansas State's spread offense and the one run by Oregon is like the difference between Manhattan, Kan., and Manhattan, New York. Ayers is aware of the chore ahead, but can't fight nature. "I don't want to mess everyone else up on defense, but when I see I can make a play, I go," he said. He can tell when it was the right choice. "When you make a big hit, most of the time it feels like you didn't hit anything," Ayers said. "You don't even feel the contact." On the other hand . . . "When I don't do what I'm supposed to do, I can tell," Ayers said. "Reggie is yelling at me." Against Kansas State, Ayers also had a personal-foul penalty on a third-down play that extended a drive. The Wildcats ended up missing a field goal. "Compared to last year, he's doing a lot better," Carter said, but joked, "I tell him that he should send mea card on Father's Day because I have to make sure he's always in the right spot and that he's not getting in trouble." Carter understands the thought process. "If the guy is not near the play or ball, Akeem doesn't always want to be bothered with it," Carter said. "That's understandable when you're young. As you get older, you realize you have to work in the scheme. He could hurt us one day." Ayers smiled while being asked about the free-for-all style he throws at opponents. "As a linebacker, you got to be aggressive," Ayers said. "You have to be all over the field. That's what I'm trying to do. If you're around every play, you're around the ball. Run to the ball and hit."

That is what caught Bullough's eye when he was recruiting Ayers. Asked what jumped out at him, Bullough said, "That playoff game." Ayers had 22 tackles against Temple City in a 2006 playoff game. "I said, 'That's the guy I want right there,' " said Bullough, who was UCLA's linebackers coach at the time. Ayers was used mostly in nickel situations last season yet was still eighth on the team in tackles, finishing ahead of defensive tackle Brian Price. He was also third in sacks, with four. "His knowledge of our base defense has improved a lot," Bullough said. "That's why we trust him out there." Still, there remains a Wild West approach to Ayers' game. "If he's talking to me before the ball is snapped, then I know he knows exactly what he's supposed to be doing," Carter said. "He has this instinct that something is coming. When he has an instinct coming, he goes." [emailprotected] twitter.com/cfosterlatimes

UCLA's specialty division is a winner
Bruins' kicking-game productivity has been off the charts, thanks mainly to placekicker Kai Forbath, punter Jeff Locke, snapper Christian Yount and holder Danny Rees.
By Chris Foster
November 25, 2009
On Mondays this fall, four of UCLA's least imposing football players occasionally gathered on a golf course. "We're very strict on rules," said junior Danny Rees, the holder for UCLA's field goals and extra points. "There is no picking up the ball on the green. You putt everything out." Then there are the competitive video games, where long snapper Christian Yount and punter Jeff Locke tangle. "Yount thought he was the best at 'Call to Duty,' " said Locke, a redshirt freshman. "Then I showed up." Rees, Locke, Yount and kicker Kai Forbath give the stereotype of laid-back special-team players a beat-down. That intensity, though, seems the secret to their success. The one rock-solid area the Bruins have leaned on this season is their kicking game. And that falls on Forbath, Locke, Rees and Yount, who are standouts in their specialties. Forbath leads the nation in field goals with 26, and has made 35 consecutive attempts from inside 50 yards. He is also six for nine from beyond 50 yards in his career. Locke ranks ninth nationally, averaging 44 yards per punt. He had a punt against Arizona that netted 61 yards, but only because it lost 20 when the ball went into the end zone for a touchback. "Those guys work together and play together and hang out," said special teams coach Frank Gansz Jr. "They push each other and are always working with each other." On fourth down, Locke said, "[Yount] is a technician. He'll come to the sideline and tell me, 'That hit your left side, right?' He knows just by how the snap feels. I've never known anyone who can do that." UCLA has needed such meticulous behavior from the core of its special teams. The Bruins have scored

points 30 of 35 times they have moved the ball into the red zone, tied for 29th nationally. Yet only 12 of those scores have been touchdowns. The snap Yount was named a preseason Playboy All-American, though this was the first year the team was not invited to the Playboy Mansion. Yount has trained as a long snapper since he was a freshman at Rancho Santa Margarita Tesoro High. He studied how-to tapes and attended camps, and has developed a highly marketable skill. "When the snap comes back, the laces are up nine times out of 10," Rees said. "I don't have to spin the ball, that's huge." The hold Rees, a punter and tight end at Lake Forest (Ill.) High, was encouraged to walk on at UCLA. Yet, there seemed to be little future in it with Locke around. "First and foremost my goal was to be the punter," Rees said. "But Jeff, as everyone has seen, is very talented. I decided the best way for me to get on the field was to hold. So, Christian and Kai, I kind of planted that bug in their ears." The two spent the off-season putting their friend through drills. "We'd be on the field four times a week, doing 30 kicks," Yount said. "Danny was driving down to Orange County during spring break so we could go work out. That's how committed he was to it." The hardest part, Rees said, is finding a spot on the field, "which is easy on turf, but it gets difficult on grass. Stanford was the worst." Forbath hit three field goals against Stanford and swears by Rees as a holder. "One little thing goes wrong, and it's a miss," Forbath said. "Danny has been great. You have to trust your holder." The kick Forbath's approach to kicking borders between science and superstition. The cleat on his kicking shoe is three sizes too small. The one on his left shoe is 1½ sizes too small. To prevent slipping, he says. The ball has to be tilted a bit toward Rees, but not too much. "You will be on the sidelines talking, and it will be like a regular conversation, then third down comes," Locke said. "Boom, snap, he's in a zone." Forbath has made 70 of 82 field-goal attempts in his three seasons at UCLA. His range? Warming up before the Arizona game he made two from 70 yards. "You have to have a routine that you do every single time," Forbath said. "It has to be that way. In practice, if I get lazy on a kick, it's a miss." Forbath, who ranks third nationally among kickers with 99 points, said he is mulling whether to declare for the NFL draft.

Hang time One day during training camp, a Locke punt was in the air for more than six seconds. Locke's mammoth kicks are based on more than just physical strength. He chose football because "it was going to be easier to get a scholarship than in soccer." At Phoenix Mountain Ridge High he was ranked second among punters nationally by Rivals.com. "You watch on film and he drops the ball in the same place every time," Rees said. Locke's ability allows the Bruins to use punting as a weapon. "When you have a team as young as we have, you almost do it like you do in the NFL," offensive coordinator Norm Chow said earlier this season. "You play field position and you get to the fourth quarter in the game." That plan does not always work out. Against Oregon, Locke averaged 50 yards per kick and Forbath nailed a 52-yard field goal. The Bruins lost, 24-10. Yet, it has also worked to the Bruins' advantage, in victories over Tennessee, Kansas State and Arizona State. "I think we're good at what we do," Yount said. "We've all bonded and connected. We hang together. It makes it easier to get the job done." [emailprotected] twitter.com/cfosterlatimes

LOS ANGELES - Taylor Embree seemed destined to become a football player. He wasn't forced into it, but you could tell it was going to happen.
How? By looking at his family tree.
His father, Jon, was a former UCLA assistant coach who played tight end for the Los Angeles Rams. His grandfather, John, was a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos in the AFL and NFL.
Does Taylor Embree, a Bruins wide receiver, desire to follow in their footsteps?
"Definitely," he said. "I know that those goals are hard to achieve and you have to work real hard to do it. I know it's not the end of the world if I don't make the NFL but it's something I'd love to do.
"Growing up you always dream of playing in the NFL watching the Super Bowl."
Embree has a few things to take care of before thinking about the NFL draft. One of his goals is to help the UCLA football team continue its climb into the penthouse of the Pac-10.
"My No. 1 goal is to get this team back to dominance, especially getting on top of the guys across the town," Embree said, referring to USC, the Bruins' opponent Saturday. "No. 2, I'd like to set some records here. That would be fun, but I want to help this program and say I was part of that rebuilding."
If rebuilding a football program is his top priority, Embree came to the right place.
UCLA has had more downs than ups in recent seasons but might finally be starting to make a long-awaited climb.
"We hit that little spot in the middle where things didn't go how we liked them to, but before the Washington game (on Nov. 7), Coach (Rick Neuheisel) said, 'It's a new month. The games that they remember are the ones played in November.' Our goal is to go undefeated this month."
Embree, who leads the Bruins with 43 receptions, got to shag balls for the kickers, play catch with quarterbacks and hang around some of the big-name players when his father was playing pro football.
Jon Embree waited until Taylor and his brother, Connor, were in middle school before surprising them with one of life's lessons. The elder Embree insisted his two sons not play football for one year and focus on school.
"I was disappointed because I was young and all my friends were playing," Taylor Embree

recalled. "By him doing that, me and my brother realized how much football really meant to us."
Though he was around football for most of his life, Embree said basketball was his favorite sport while growing up. It was after his family arrived in California and he enrolled at Hart High that he switched to football.
"They kind of made it where I couldn't play both sports," Embree recalled. "The football coaches wanted you at all the passing tournaments and the basketball coaches wanted you at all the basketball games."
Embree got his final taste of basketball during his senior year in high school at Blue Valley West, near Kansas City, and he helped lead the Jaguars to the state championship.
"He's an awesome young man," Blue Valley West basketball coach Donnie Campbell said. "Basketball was not his main sport but he is a tremendous competitor and a great athlete.
"He's a big reason why we won a state championship. We don't have him, we don't win a state championship."
More rewards, and perhaps more championships await Embree as he continues his football career. With two more years of eligibility on his docket after this season, there is no telling how far he can go, or how far he can push the Bruins.
"When you grow up around the game, you develop a love for it," Embree said. "That's kind of what led to my passion for football."

LOS ANGELES - Xavier Su'a-Filo isn't one to worry about tradition.
In nearly four decades of coaching UCLA lines, Bob Palcic had not had a freshman open the season as a starter on an offensive line.
That ended this season.
Su'a-Filo arrived at UCLA's fall camp trying to make a good first impression. By the time the Bruins kicked off their season, Su'a-Filo had made a believer out of the longtime coach.
"He's the first freshman that I've had, in 39 years of coaching, that started the first game of their college career," Palcic said. "(UCLA All-American) Jonathan Ogden didn't start until about his fifth game.
"I've had the opportunity to coach great linemen during my career. Tony Boselli for a year, Jonathan Ogden and Joe Thomas (Cleveland Browns), two of them being Outland Trophy winners. I think Xavier, if he keeps progressing, I'll be able to talk about him in that company."
As unusual as it was for Su'a-Filo to open the season as a starter, it was not a shock because he was recruited as one of the top offensive tackles in the country when he graduated from Timpview High in Provo, Utah.
One thing that Su'a-Filo did right in preparing to play was to keep things in perspective. Though his high school team went undefeated in his final two years and he found himself fielding scholarship offers from LSU, USC, BYU and Utah, among others, he didn't let his ego get in the way.
"It (starting) was definitely one of my goals and I came in here thinking that it was a possibility, but I had to earn it," Su'a-Filo said.
"I had to work hard and compete for it because nothing ever comes easily. I was kind of excited and a little bit nervous but I had to try to make sure I did everything the coaches asked of me their way and be humble about it."
He's still humble. Though he has started in all eight games, Su'a-Filo is not taking anything for granted and continues to look for ways to get better.
At 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, he does not fit the stereotype of an offensive lineman. While most players at that position have their weight in their chest and stomach, most of Su'a-Filo's weight and power comes from below the waist.
"I wish I was stronger but that's going to come later," Su'a-Filo said. "My coach in high school (Louis Wong) always told me: 'If I had your butt and your legs (I'd still be playing).'"
Su'a-Filo makes sudden impact

12/11/2009http://www.ocregister.com/common/printer/view.php?db=ocregister&id=218038
Above the waist, Su'a-Filo tends to resemble NFL tight end Jeremy Shockey, but Su'a-Filo's big legs won't let him attain the speed he would need to play the tight end position.
For a left tackle, however, he has plenty of speed.
"Xavier does a real good job for how big he is," Bruins center Kai Maiava said.
"He adapted real well, as fast as he did too, for a freshman. He also adapted to the speed and the strength of the game.
"He still a little ... here and there ... makes errors or whatever but that's for every player. He's been doing a good job for us. He's improving every week from what I've seen and he's a real good player."
One preseason camp and eight games and one camp into his collegiate career, Su'a-Filo has learned plenty.
He learned what it takes to play at this level. He learned what he needs to do to get better, and he has learned what it feels like to be on the losing end of games.
The latter lesson has been the most painful.
"I knew there would be adversity, that's part of college," he said. "You've got to learn how to deal with it and work past it.
"Me and my dad talked about it. At first it was a bit of a shock because it hadn't really hit me yet but when it happens, it happens. You've got to deal with it. You can either dwell on it or work harder to fix it the next week. Losing was new to me and took some definite maturing."
If accolades and recognition are to be had, he's willing to wait.
"I think he's done a terrific job and I think the future is extremely bright for him," Palcic said.
"I think he's going to be a great college football player and if he keeps progressing the way that I think he can, he'll be a great pro football player."

Dorsey grads help the Bruins Kurt Streeter
September 20, 2009
As we march through its still young and electric season, it's hard to watch UCLA begin a single play without focusing on the team's burgeoning, bulging, increasingly effective middle. Straight up the gut resides a holy terror who goes by the name Brian Price. Straight up the gut you're finding wide holes carved by the offensive line and even, on occasion, quarterbacks who look like quarterbacks. And straight up the gut, at one end of the offense and one end of the defense, you find two 19-year-olds who've journeyed together since their first year of high school. A pair of unusual, world-wise kids all of Los Angeles should be proud of. When the Bruins have the ball, off scoots tailback Johnathan Franklin, the redshirt freshman who rushed for 119 yards on 23 carries and scored his second touchdown of the season Saturday night. When the Bruins defend, up swoops Rahim Moore, the sophomore safety whose helmet seems continuously drawn to the scrum. Saturday -- a day of infamy for rival USC -- brought fresh evidence of how bright the Bruins' future can be, in part because of these two guiding lights. For me, this game also provided a flashback -- repeated reminders of a scene that unfolded 24 hours earlier, smack in the middle of South L.A. Franklin and Moore are 2008 graduates of Dorsey High, the fabled City Section school that sits amid notoriously difficult streets. Friday night, Dorsey's football team celebrated a new era: its home field, long known for craggy grass and gopher holes, now shimmered with a glistening, $1.9-million slab of freshly laid synthetic turf. Friday night, Dorsey also celebrated its past, which is where Franklin and Moore come in. On a fog-doused field, amid crackling introductions and long ovations, stood the Bruins' duo: teammates since ninth grade. It was more than a homecoming. Their current success clearly embodies the dreams of a community. "I'm fighting the tears," said Moore, standing proudly on the mint-green field in his white UCLA sweats.

"Just remembering all the blood and guts I spilled on this field." "It's hard to describe this feeling," said Franklin, eyes gleaming as he focused on the new field. "This is home. And coming back home, being a Bruin now and coming out of here, two young black men, we want to show the kids they can be great in all aspects of life. . . . We want to mean something to the place where we come from." It's very clear what the two Bruins mean to their current team. The Kansas State game showed it. Franklin became the first Bruins back to rush for more than 100 yards in 12 games. Moore, who started as a freshman, seemed smack in the dust of every downfield tackle. The more we see of him -- five interceptions in three games, nearly two more in the 23-9 win over the Wildcats -- the more it becomes clear he should go ahead and have "All-American" tattooed on his back. What this pair means to Westwood is a real chance at old glory. What they mean in the halls of Dorsey High? Ask the folks who live for the place. "Leadership," said Paul Knox, the Dorsey head coach who has produced handfuls of pros and bushels of college stars. "That we have two young men here who do things right." "Legacy," said A.R. Mateo, a tutor who prepped the two Bruins for the demands of college. "Not just for their generation, but the next generation and the generation after that . . . they're proving you can come out of here and make it at a place like UCLA." "Inspiration," added Carolynn Middleton, a Dorsey English teacher who has known the pair since the 10th grade. As she spoke, all I could think was how these are the kids we need to celebrate in South L.A. The kinds we need to wrap our arms around and push: straight arrows, even amid the occasional madness. A pair always focused tightly on their goals, always willing to do whatever extra it took to get there -- extra sprints or extra pushups or extra chapters of math. She remembered how Franklin -- "Jet Ski" as he's known at Dorsey -- started a movement to stop swearing and cursing at his school. She noted that she calls Moore "The Deacon" because when he wasn't toting around a football, he either had his nose in a Bible or his head down in a prayer. "They were special here," she said. "And right now, just by doing well at UCLA, they're still special." Said Moore as he left the Dorsey field, heading off to make curfew on the evening of a big game: "I feel so much love here that it's just rejuvenating. Believe me, it's seriously going to motivate us to take this kind of feeling back to the team we play for now." These were not empty words. Saturday night, Dorsey High smack in the middle of a third straight UCLA win, proved it. [emailprotected]

Different Stokes: UCLA's Rosario reminds Neuheisel of former Bruins star By Jon Gold, Staff Writer Updated: 11/11/2009 10:50:22 PM PST
For so long, UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel saw what no one else did. He saw J.J. Stokes stretch his pterodactyl arms and haul in a pass meant for another receiver somewhere in South Dakota. He saw Stokes leap in the air, climb over a defender and reach for the stars, coming down with a football. He saw Stokes work his massive frame around a smaller cornerback, using every inch of his body for leverage. Only he wasn't watching J.J. Stokes. He was watching Nelson Rosario. As the sophomore wide receiver has emerged as UCLA's primary target with back-to-back 100- yard games, everyone else is seeing what only the head coach - the ever-smiling, always optimistic, a-loss-is-only-a-win-spelled- funny head coach - saw.
"Physically, both of them have a way to dominate," said Neuheisel of the 6-foot-5 Rosario and 6-4 Stokes. "They're going against kids who are not nearly their size. They both are so long and have such good body control that when covered, they still make plays."
Neuheisel first saw glimpses of it last season, Rosario's first for the Bruins after a standout career at El Camino High of Oceanside.
Against Stanford in Week 7 last season, Rosario made a sensational catch of a ball thrown way over his head, one of four grabs for 71 yards.
Earlier this season, against Kansas State in Week 3, Rosario had a highlight-reel, one- handed snag that wowed the crowd.
Through seven games this year, though, he had only 12 catches for 197 yards and no scores.
Neuheisel did not lose faith, he just needed to see a sense of urgency in his talented youngster, who moonlights for the UCLA track team as a

jumper. In the fourth quarter of the Bruins' 26-19 loss to Oregon State, Rosario had four catches for 126 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown and a 2- point conversion, as part of a six-reception, 152- yard performance. He followed that up with a seven-catch, 111- yard day in a 24-23 win over Washington last Saturday. "The first game I got really comfortable, started feeling like how I used to feel in high school," Rosario said. "It gave me the confidence back that I can make plays on anybody. Before, I was trying to force stuff, trying to make sure I didn't blow my assignment. I'm playing a lot more comfortable now, relaxed." Funny thing: As Rosario relaxes, opposing coaches are getting a lot more nervous. After a case of the drops earlier in the season, Rosario seems to be realizing that he can solidify his standing as UCLA's top wideout if he takes care of the little things, such as running the precise route, working to get open at the second level and simply catching the ball. Stokes had a similar epiphany after his first big game. Until the end of his sophomore year, Stokes toiled in obscurity, flashing signs of the talent that would lead to numerous school records, including receiving touchdowns in a season (17)
and career (28), and receiving yards in a game (263, against USC in 1992). But he needed that proof, that one breakout performance like he had against Arizona as a sophomore, when starter Sean LaChapelle went down with an injury and Stokes caught the tying touchdown.
"Until you have that type of game, you're always like, `I knew I could do it,"' Stokes said. "It's almost like, see, I told myself it could be done. (After that) I would get off my classes and go grab lunch and do film on the defensive backs every day. I understood what they wanted to do and was able to take advantage of it. I just think that my intensity level stepped up.
"I tasted success and wanted more of it."
Wayne Cook remembers vividly.
Cook, who suffered a season-ending injury in the first game of his senior year in 1994, played all four years with Stokes, forming a bond with the wideout that blossomed in big games. Cook remembers Stokes coming of age after he first proved to himself that he could compete at this level.
"When J.J. first started and he wasn't playing, he was kind of uninterested sometimes," said Cook, who quarterbacked UCLA to the Rose Bowl in 1993. "It seemed like he didn't care as much. Once he got in the game and realized how good he could be, it was all over. That's what people are saying with Rosario; he got that confidence, and since then he's been a different guy."
