SB Nation’s UW Dawg Pound gives grudging respect to their old friend and UCLA’s head coach, Rick Neuheisel:
UCLA Vs. Washington: ‘Welcome’ Back, Rick Neuheisel
Rick publicly states he has no animosity toward Washington. He enjoyed his time here and believes it’s a special place. He still has many good friends in the area whom he visits each summer. You may not like much about Neuheisel, but he won at Washington and will do the same at UCLA.
Have no doubt this game matters more than perhaps any game on the schedule for Rick Neuheisel. There is nothing he would rather do than take his players for a dance on the “W” after Thursday night’s game.
Thursday’s game features two squads in similar places. The Bruins need to win two of their final three games to qualify for a bowl game and Washington appears very beatable to them. The Huskies need three straight victories to go bowling and UCLA appears to be the easiest of those hurdles.
