Mora, Meyer defend assistants Bradley, Schiano

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA coach Jim Mora and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer defended their assistants who were alleged to have had knowledge of sexual abuse perpetrated by Jerry Sandusky at Penn State in the 1980s and '90s in documents released this week.

Tom Bradley, Mora's defensive coordinator, and Greg Schiano, Meyer's defensive coordinator, were both Penn State assistants under Joe Paterno during Sandusky's tenure. Both denied the allegations from a 2015 deposition by ex-Penn State assistant Mike McQueary that became public Tuesday. McQueary told Paterno he saw Sandusky rape a boy in a shower in 2001 and was a key witness in the Sandusky trial.
