COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : UCLA : Donahue: Week Off Was Productive
A week off did UCLA good, said Coach Terry Donahue, but, then again, it wasn’t really a week off.
The Bruins practiced hard on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, then had a weekend respite before beginning preparations for Saturday’s game against Arizona State at Tempe, Ariz.
“It was a productive week,” Donahue said. “We made some progress in our timing, and it helped get some people ready to play who might not have been able to play if we had had a game.”
Center Mike Flanagan is one, right tackle Chad Overhauser another. Both are nursing leg injuries. Linebacker Rod Smalley and fullbacks Daron Washington and James Milliner profited by a week off to nurse injuries. All are expected to play Saturday night.
