Though the legs are beginning to get heavy and the dog days of training camp are beginning to show its weariness, the team presses on and the attitude is good. This is the true beginning of the grind when mentality is tested. Today's practice is at 4:00 PM PST and it will be the first day in pads so let the hitting begin. UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel took questions from the media after Thursday's practice. The following is what transpired.

Neuheisel: "Another good day. You can tell we are getting little bit of that leg weariness that comes with the fourth day of camp. Especially give all the reps we have been able to divvy up with the way we practiced, but excited about putting the whole team together tomorrow and watching us get after each other for the first time in full pads. That will be exciting and Saturday we will practice in the morning in shorts and shoulder pads then have a little bit of a scrimmage on Saturday afternoon. I am looking forward to the weekend."
