Kevin Prince News

Good thing the air got a bit chillier as UCLA's Wednesday practice wore on. It's about to get a whole lot colder for the Bruins as they head north to play Washington State on Saturday.

Washington State quarterback Jeff Tuel is questionable for this weekend's game with UCLA in Pullman, coach Paul Wulff said Tuesday.

The names are being tossed around in a flurry, UCLA's excitable fans trying to make their mark on the offense.

Redshirt freshman's play against Washington before being sidelined because of a helmet-to-helmet hit leaves no doubt about who the Bruins' starter should be.

If Kevin Prince plays like he practices, the UCLA quarterback and the offense could be much improved against Washington on Saturday.

While negativity seems to surround the UCLA Bruins lately, there is some good in their visit to Oregon State on Halloween.

The pain in Aaron Hester's eyes was evident the very first practice after he fractured his leg in UCLA's Week 1 victory over San Diego State.

Rick Neuheisel's rebuilding project appeared to be on a fast track when UCLA won its first three games.

While Rick Neuheisel declared that redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Prince will start at Oregon State on Saturday for the 3-4 Bruins, the UCLA coach also said with conviction that freshman quarterback Richard Brehaut will get playing time.

Record : 3-3, 0-3 The tough nonconference schedule was much better for UCLA than the start to the conference slate.

Nick Foles threw two touchdown passes to Juron Criner, and Arizona overcame five turnovers to defeat UCLA 27-13 on Saturday and keep pace in the Pac-10 race.

In the midst of his record-breaking freshman season for UCLA, sophomore wide receiver Taylor Embree's stat line read like a heart monitor: up, down, up, down.
