Last season, the UCLA running game ranked 116th nationally (out of 120 teams). While these numbers still have head coach Rick Neuheisel scratching his head, blame for the pitiful production must be split equally among the backs and the offensive line. Still, there is hope in Westwood for 2009. Offensive coordinator Norm Chow has a solid stable of backs to work with despite losing a few from last year.
