Day 8 of UCLA fall camp is complete and now we can put these practices behind us, especially with the type of day the Bruins had. In a bit of scary news, WR Devin Lucien injured his head and was taken off the field in an ambulance. Updates on this will be provided as they are available. Just as well, the offensive line is banged up and will not be 100% for a while. But there were some bright spots, especially with some of the younger guys getting time with all the injuries. If anything, that equals experience. ON TO DAY 8…
Injury Report: Devin Lucien needed an ambulance to be taken off the field as he injured his head. Some Bruins returned to practice while some have a few more days to go.

Mora: "We’ve stayed relatively healthy. But you say all those things, & your mind goes right back to Devin. That’s what I’m thinking about."

Malcolm Bunche shooting it straight on UCLA's glut of O-line injuries: "We’ve just got to keep pushing. But let’s be honest, camp sucks."

Okay, so is there any good news? Thankfully, yes. A bit of glory, a bit of comedy and a bit of fashion awesomeness. Only at UCLA.

As Malcolm Bunche said, “camp sucks”. It is a good thing there are only four more days in the desert, and then the Boys In Blue And Gold return home for some good ol’ Westwood lovin’. I love UCLA in the fall.
GET WELL SOON DEVIN LUCIEN! YOU ARE THE MAN!
GO BRUINS!
