Running away will not be an op
tion for UCLA as it faces Oregon, a
team it has lost to each of the last
four seasons in the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins are hurrying to
Autzen Stadium, and they will
be running toward the end zone
in search of a bowl bid, no doubt.
The question is: Who will be rush
ing for them?
Running back Maurice Drew lost
six yards in his only carry against
Washington State last week before
UCLA lost him in the first quarter for
the remainder of the game.
UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell said
his injury is pretty serious and that he
will be a game-time decision.
UCLA (5-4 overall, 3-3 Pacific-10
Conference) lost more than just its
leading rusher last week as it surren
dered in a 31-29 loss to the Cougars.
Running back Jerome Harrison ran
for 247 yards and carried the ball 42
times for Washington State in the
narrow defeat.
The Cougars took an early lead af
ter UCLA’s Tab Perry turned over the
ball by fumbling the opening kickoff.
Being without a lead in the beginning
of a game is something Dorrell’s
squad was not used to.
“(Washington State) just made
some plays early in the game that
gave them the momentum from
the start,” Dorrell said. “That was
something we didn’t anticipate
and we got ourselves in an unfamil
iar situation.”

wire but only put together 308 yards
of offense. A two-point conversion
attempt by quarterback Drew Ol
son, which would have tied the
game, fell incomplete with 42 sec
onds left in the contest.
Senior tailback Manuel White took
on a more emphasized role for UCLA
and caught a 4-yard touchdown pass
to go with the 46-rushing yards he
hauled in on 13 carries.
White has started six games and
played in all nine. He has acquired
the same amount of rushing at
tempts as Drew (133) and has
recorded 666 yards on the ground.
White is averaging five yards per
carry and he is ranked sixth in the
