COLLEGE FOOTBALL : DAILY REPORT : UCLA : Donahue Will Cite The Citadel’s Upset
UCLA Coach Terry Donahue, who never met an opponent that didn’t worry him, will mention The Citadel’s 10-3 season-opening upset victory over Arkansas to his team before the 16th-ranked Bruins’ season-opener against Cal State Fullerton Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.
“I think it (upsets) happens once or twice a season,” Donahue said. “I will mention that to our team and I’ll make sure that our team is aware of that only from the standpoint of, ‘Hey guys if you’re not prepared this could happen.’
“And you’ve got to make sure that your team is trying to listen to you despite the public opinion that it’s a mismatch. The Fullerton guys don’t think it’s a mismatch, I promise you.”

Although fullback Kaleaph Carter has been hampered by a torn right Achilles’ tendon since spring practice, Donahue expects him to play sparingly against Fullerton.
Injury report--Guards James Christensen (pinched nerve in neck) and Matt Soenksen (strained knee) are doubtful for the Bruins’ season-opener. Flanker Bryan Adams (sprained ankle), defensive end London Woodfin (pulled hamstring) and nose guard Bruce Walker (pulled hamstring) are questionable.
