Rick Neuheisel may be the best quarterback in Westwood right now.

 

Rick Neuheisel, creator of the term ' Passion Bucket ' and UCLA football coach, told Dan he didn't know about the billboard that read "The Football Monopoly Is Officially Over in Los Angeles" until after it went up. But Neuheisel is not afraid. He wants the Bruins to start getting a little swagger.

Still, Dan asked Neuheisel a couple of times about his quarterback against Tennessee in the season opener on Monday and Neuheisel wouldn't comment. JC transfer Kevin Craft is the likely starter in Norm Chow's revised UCLA offense. Neuheisel won't admit it, but he has to be nervous about the quarterback situation.

Dan will be at the UCLA-Tennesse game. He told Neuheisel that he was going to start on the Bruins sideline, but then cross over at half time if they were losing.

Neuheisel might not win that many games this year, but he definitely brings some buzz factor to this program. The Bruins should be fun to watch.

By the way, if you didn't see it, SI.com unveiled its preseason All-American team. Some huge names on there.
