UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel talks with reporters after Thursday’s practice, the last one the Bruins will have before leaving for Houston, Texas to take on Case Keenum and the Houston Cougars.
Neuheisel’s three team captains will be safety Tony Dye, linebacker Patrick Larimore and running back Johnathan Franklin.
Another interesting piece of news coming out of Thursday’s practice was Neuheisel naming redshirt freshman Kip Smith the place kicker. Neuheisel said it would be a game time decision just 24 hours earlier but didn’t want to overwork punter and kickoff man Jeff Locke.
