One thing I’ve noticed that different this year as a result of the decision to close all practices to the public is that we seem to be learning more about the journeys that some of the players have gone through to get to where they are at UCLA.
The result of this is that we’ve probably learned more about UCLA’s football players as people than we have in the past because we aren’t talking or writing about the football that is going on each day in practice.
Early in camp, it was Josh Woods’ journey back to the field after being hurt last year (and before getting hurt in camp this year).
