One thing the Bruins worked on in practice Tuesday was adapting to a sudden change from offense to defense. They gave up two touchdowns Saturday to Washington State in sudden-change situations, one after a fumble and the other after a blocked punt, both drives starting deep inside UCLA territory.

In similar circumstances in practice, the offense scored on the defense.

“We’re angry,” Coach Bob Toledo said, adding that he had mixed feelings on the results of Tuesday’s effort.

“I’m happy with the offense. They scored,” Toledo said. “I’m upset with the defense. The offense scored.”

Defensive back Tod McBride, out since the beginning of fall practice for violating team rules, has been reinstated but is not expected to play any time soon. . . . Tight end Ryan Neufeld, who suffered a hamstring strain during the first week of practice, is back on the practice field and could be available for Saturday’s game against Tennessee.
