The good news is that Chris Sailer has kicked eight field goals in a row for UCLA. The bad news is that he has attempted eight field goals. "Too many field goals," Bruin Coach Bob Toledo said Monday. UCLA has scored on 22 of its 25 trips inside opponents' 20-yard-line, and 17 of those scores have been touchdowns. "As a coach, you'd like to see it 80%," Toledo said.

Eight true freshmen have been getting playing time at UCLA this season and one, cornerback Javelin Guidry, is starting. The other seven are defensive lineman Vae Tata, nose guard Danjuan Magee, wide receiver Jim McElroy, safety Shaun Williams, safety Glenn Thompkins, fullback Greg Ford and cornerback Aaron Rocques. There are only 14 scholarship seniors, including punter Darren Schager and long snapper Chris Andersen, who were walk-ons who earned scholarships.

Two UCLA seniors suffered season-ending injuries during the third quarter of Saturday's 17-10 victory over Southern Methodist. Cornerback Carl Greenwood, regarded as one of the best in the country at his position and a potential high NFL draft pick, was operated on Sunday for a broken right ankle. He might return if the Bruins play in a bowl game.

The players who walked into spring practice almost four weeks ago at UCLA walked out Thursday, with two exceptions. Cornerback Javelin Guidry underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday and defensive end Pete Holland had surgery for a broken bone in his foot. Both should be ready for the Bruins' season opener Aug. 30 at Washington State.

The benefits of a week without having to prepare for a Saturday game have been ample for UCLA, which practiced lightly Thursday and then relished a three-day weekend without football. Without playing football, that is. There will be plenty watched on Saturday. Another benefit of not having to play a game is giving some banged-up players a chance to rehabilitate.

Linebacker Donnie Edwards met with David Price, Pacific 10 Conference associate commissioner, on Wednesday to discuss his alleged contact with sports agent Robert Troy Caron. Edwards, who has sat out the last two games because of a neck injury, reportedly accepted $150 in food from Caron. Price said that he will continue to gather information on the matter and that there isn't a timetable on a conclusion. Coach Terry Donahue said Edwards will remain on the team until a decision has been reached.
