Interesting tidbits on UCLA

The focus of the article is on Harwell, a UCLA D-tackle with a rough life story and a great outlook on the future. Definitely worth the read.

But this was also buried within the article:

"Belief doesn't typify much of the UCLA fan base, which was apparently unmoved by a Los Angeles Times advertisement that proclaimed in block letters, "The football monopoly in Los Angeles is officially over" over a picture of a pointing Neuheisel. Only 65,000 fans are expected Monday in the Rose Bowl (capacity 91,500)."

LA Times rundown of the game

It's a decent and fun read. They do the annoying look-it's-a-blog-I'm-writing-one-sentence-per-paragraph thing but they have some gems like:

"By the end of the season, Bruins faithful will be able to answer age-old question: Which band is most obsessed about a song? Tennessee and "Rocky Top," or USC and "Tribute to Troy"?

It's doubtful either will be music to a UCLA fan's ears.
"

"The four sacks and all that is good," Richard said, "but we feel we're so much stronger right now and quicker.

"We want to be known for run blocking."

Richard said one of UT's goals for the offensive line is to average 200 yards rushing per game. The Vols averaged 139 yards per game last season.

Fulmer Cup Final Standings

Fulmer Cup Final Standings

Alabama has officially won the Fulmer Cup this year. However, in all fairness, I think their score should be pro-rated. After all, the rest of the NCAA has only 85 (maximum) scholarshipped athletes available to rack up points, while Alabama had the luxury of about half the male population of that fine state on their roster...

"I expect Dave to call a big play at the right time," says Scott, who counts Clawson as one of his closest friends in coaching. "Dave's a master play-caller. When he gets into a rhythm, it's fun to watch. It's almost like he's on the headset with the defense."

Add to that the fact that Coach Fulmer always has played (at best) second fiddle in his own division behind Coach Meyer, Coach Richt, and Coach Spurrier, and it’s hard to rank the Philibuster higher than ninth.
