Wow! Talk about a loaded day for the UCLA Football program. I do not know about you, but my phone was dinging all day with alerts of Bruins news and reactions to the events of the day. We have some practice notes, but also have a lot external things to report on.
There was Diddy sending a “Go Bruins” on Instagram, the unveiling of alternate uniforms and head coach Jim Mora made a big contribution to UCLA which seemed to (at least start to) solidify his legacy as the Bruin’s head coach. Overall, it was a pretty exciting day. Go Bruins!

Diddy Showing Love
First off, Sean Combs, a.k.a Puff Daddy, showed a little bit of love towards to UCLA after recent events with UCLA Strength & Conditioning Coach Sal Alosi as he posted a pro-UCLA Instagram picture of his son, Bruin defensive back Justin Combs.

There was nothing new on naming a QB as Josh Rosen and Jerry Neuheisel split reps on Wednesday. Fullback Nate Iese looked impressive as a receiver and could see time at tight end. Freshman Chris Clark got an earful from Mora when he made it to practice out of uniform and with his cellphone. And apparently Defensive Coordinator Tom Bradley does not know where San Bernardino is.
Thursday, August 13 Info
Josh Rosen was the only quarterback to work with the first team offense today. Freshman RB Soso Jamabo got some first-team reps. Rosen had a rough start and RB Craig Lee will miss the opener due to academics.
Injury update: Steven Manfro will be out a few weeks as he has minor surgery on his knee. Ishmael Adams sat out a bit after tweaking his ankle. Freshman TE Chris Clark is still out with mono.
Josh Rosen got all of the first-team reps during the 11-on-11 portion of UCLA practice this afternoon.

Jim Mora IS THE MAN!

Head Coach Jim Mora made a statement today as him and his wife Shannon Mora donated to the new UCLA Wasserman Football Center. In return, a terrace outside the new football facility will be named after the Moras. One quick tidbit on the Mora’s donation, it is the largest to a program among active college football coaches.
Now we are going dive further into this in the future, but when it was announced that the Moras donated a large amount to UCLA, the thought that went through my mind was, “he is here long-term”. Mora thinks so as well.
