Best case-worst case: UCLA

August, 22, 2011 Aug 22
By Ted Miller


Fifth in a series looking at potential dream and nightmare scenarios for all Pac-12 teams.

Understand: These are not predictions. They are extreme scenarios and pieces of fiction. You can read last year's versions here.

We're going in reverse order of my post-spring power rankings (which might not be identical to my preseason power rankings).

Quarterback roulette

Quarterback Kevin Prince was a near shoo-in to win the job a third consecutive season and has been exclusively with the first team since training camp began, but concerns about his passing game efficiency have narrowed the gap between him and Richard Brehaut.

Neither has trumped the other as a dual-threat quarterback, something absolutely necessary in the "pistol" offense. Prince has been stronger in the running game and Brehaut more consistent in the passing game. Brehaut, though, has played almost entirely against the second-team defense.

Both continue to make mistakes that frazzle Neuheisel.

In the meeting room "the easy things, they have all the right answers when I'm asking them on the board," Neuheisel said.

On the field is another story.

"The professor has to take responsibility for that," Neuheisel said. "I have to make sure they understand what they are doing."

Neuheisel said he will select a starter when "I know," though presumably it will be before 2:29 p.m. CDT on Sept. 3. UCLA and Houston are scheduled to kick off at 2:30 p.m.

[h=1]Four players get a do-over at UCLA[/h]
[h=2]Shaquelle Evans and Joseph Fauria came from Notre Dame, and Kai Maiava and Josh Smith from Colorado. Coach Rick Neuheisel says academics, needs on field and circumstances of departure all play part.[/h] By Chris Foster August 18, 2011, 6:45 p.m.

Shaquelle Evans, unhappy at Notre Dame, called UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel a year ago and said he was transferring.

Summary of Neuheisel's reply: "What do we need to do to get it done?"

Smith had it worse in 2009. Colorado Coach Dan Hawkins refused to grant him a release. Smith, who returned kickoffs and caught 52 passes in two seasons at Colorado, filed an appeal with the school and was eventually given a partial release.

"I couldn't go to Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, Arizona State and a number of other schools," Smith said.

But UCLA was always on Smith's list, so he made the call.

"You have to be sure," Smith said. "It's more important than when you first choose a school. At this level, it's easy to get left behind."

Vamos...I think we get it that you don't like the guy! I'm with you on that one.

I think Ricky should build an offense around his son and make him a starter. That is a proven strategy.
 
True freshman Brett Hundley is not totally out of the picture either. Some talk that he will be put into games for special packages.
 
[h=2]Kai Maiava banned for home opener[/h]
By Peter Yoon

UCLA starting center Kai Maiava has been suspended for the Bruins' home opener against San Jose State because of an unspecified violation of team rules, coach Rick Neuheisel announced Tuesday.


Maiava, a senior, sat out of practice Tuesday but did some conditioning work on the side and will return to the line next week.
"I'm not real happy about the situation but at the same time I'm not going to sit here and cry about it," Maiava said. "Everybody makes choices, everybody makes mistakes. I'm a growing man now and I'm going to learn from them."
