UCLA
continued from page 2B
and played very well,” Toledo told
the Los Angeles Times.
Paus has been equally impres
sive, especially considering the neg
ativity that followed his life off the
field last season. So far this season
he has completed 82 passes in 138
attempts for seven touchdowns and
just three interceptions. In UCLA’s
four victories, the senior has aver
aged 253 yards in the air. In the
Bruins’ only loss, a 31-17 setback
to Colorado, Paus was 21-for-35 but
threw for just 189 yards.
"We have to do a
better job keeping
our poise."
Bob Toledo
UCLA head coach
He has clearly been a key to
UCLA’s resurgence this season.
With three more touchdown
throws, Paus will move into third
place on the school’s all-time list,
passing former star Troy Aikman.
He is already second in passing
yardage on the school’s all-time list
and needs just 29 more comple
tions to move into the top spot.
But for Paus to get the yardage
and the completions, he needs tal
ented receivers. He has found one
in one of the last places you’d look.
Tight end Mike Seidman, consid
ered one of the most talented ends
in the Pac-10, has stepped up late
ly. He already leads the Bruins with
21 receptions and 365 yards, but
cemented his reputation with eight
receptions and 138 yards against
Oregon State.
“A lot of tight ends think the only
way to get recognized is to catch
passes,” Toledo said. “Mike Seid
man will get his chance at the NFL
even if he doesn’t make another
catch because he is an excellent
blocker. He’s one of the best tight
ends in the country.”
On the other side of the ball, the

Cory Paus has completed 82-for-138 passes and seven touchdowns this year.
Bruins have an injury and a sus
pension that will decimate the Pae
10’s seventh-ranked defense.
Junior defensive tackle Rodney
Leisle suffered a stress fracture
against the Beavers and will not
play against the Ducks. Junior Mat
Ball will also be kept off the field —
albeit just for the first half — after
serving a mandatory half-game sus
pension for attempting to punch an
Oregon State player.
“We have to do a better job of
keeping our poise,” Toledo said.
“Football is an emotional game, but
there is a line you can’t cross.”
Despite the losses, the Bruins
possess a fast defense, anchored by
Manning. The group has grabbed
nine interceptions and has forced
opposing quarterbacks to the
ground for 12 sacks.
That defense will be tested this
weekend, though, as the aforemen
tioned losses will break up a defen
sive line that has started all five
games. The Bruins have seen just
12 different players start on de
fense this season.
On both sides of the ball, the
Bruins are banged up and bruised.
That’s not much different than last
season, when UCLA lost to Oregon,
21-20, at the Rose Bowl.
“They’re hitting us at a good time
again,” Toledo said.
